Default Hello From australia!

A Big Hello from australia,
well, not the country... but from me, in the country..

I stumbled across this site and thought you ladies, and gents might be able to teach me a few things.
Here's a bit about me..
Name: Jamie
Age: 19 years 3 months 10 days (dont ask how many hours or minutes)
Home: Central Queensland, Australia
Intrests and hobbies: My car, remote control cars, planes helicopters, models... theres a lot...

Job: I dont have a job at the moment.. but i am a 3rd year boilermaker apprentice (welder)

i dunno any thing else i can tell you except start talking about my car....

What I Drive:
I dont own a flash car, nore a sporty car, but i do own....
a 2007 Hyundai Getz (1.4L 16valve DOHC (G4EE engine))
I have already done a little bit of fancy work on the getz, but nothing majorly visual from the exterior..
Colour: Mica Midnight (metalic-grey/blue/purple colour) Google it..
Exterior: Blue LED underbody glow, Blue Painted front grill (soon to be replaced with blue mesh.
Engine mods: only have one minnor mod, DIY Cold Air Induction. im still trying to make it perfect.
Interior: DIY short shifter, custom blue LED interior ceiling light, Painted Blue and red themed center console, and most of the dash. Blue ceiling carpet..
Audio: kenwood cd player(not sure of model),0 gauge power cable from battery to under drivers seat, split to 2x 4 Gauge wire.. powering 1X Pioneer 2ch 60w RMS x2 amp - 6" pioneer fronts 60W RMS(not sure of models) and in the back, 1 kenwood KFC-W3514DVC 12" Dual voice coil subwoofer 380W Nominal powered by 2 x kenwood KAC-8104D amps 1000W Max ?300RMS? 2 Farad capacitor..
I also have 2, 4 inch kenwood midrange speakers mounted in the back panel, running off a very old kenwood amp..

Plans for car?
i plan to upgrade the audio, as my speakers need upgrading. i am super happy with my sub..
I also plan on a body kit, maybe just side skirts, and customizing the stock front and rear bumper my self...
As for engine mods.. I would realy like to tune the car for low end Performance, about 2000-3,500 Rpm... with full sports exhaust, and Pod filter cold air intake.
i have been thinking about a split hood, and a new paint job, Rims, lowering, swaybars, ect... but they will be the last on my list..

I hope you guys enjoy reading, and hopefully i can share some pictures and more info. Let me know if you Have any Questions

Oh, and here in australia... before any one asks... we don't ride kangaroos... Us kool kids ride Emu's
