I was actually born in Australia and now live in UK. When I got mine (Black facelift '06) I thought it was far too quiet. First buy was Berk HFC, Cobra Y-pipe and japspeed K1 exhaust.
You should get a samurai sword handle, stick the correct thread in and use it as your gear stick.im sure you can get one on ebay for a tenner. Also, get some HFC or De-cats, totally changes the sound!
I'm pretty new to this. i just purchased a facelift model.
so far i can see rear LED lights and whole new interior/dash thats different
and the slight engine upgrade.
would like to know myself what else is different!
