Hey Jason, welcome aboard mate. Good to me you and your new black beast.
I'm sure @albii can give you all the info you need, but certainly a heap of info around here.
Try wondering through some of the tech forum for info.
To lighten the wallet, check out stores like Edge, Corksport, James Barone Racing, Cobb. Some of these US companies won't sell to Australia direct, but there are some reseller's here in Oz. Some of them though have stocking issues like MPS Garage and will take your money first and leave you in the red while they get stock in.
Have a look in my sig for upcoming events.
Brad
