Where is the 3rd option to wait for recovery of demerit points?

you choose!

lol are you serious?

not everyone is as stupid as that. If you cant be sensible on the road you should be catching the bus.

To OP, do what you like and what your budget allows. Personally Id do suspension, brake and wheel/tire mods first. Learn how to drive and the characteristics of your car first - then move on to power mods if you wish. An underpowered good handling car can be a hell of a lot of fun.

You have to love it. I work at bankstown and the cops in the area are always breaking rules. talking on their mobiles, and not stopping at stop signs etc.

In my opinion, looks attract more attention therefore cops will think ur a hoon and ass rape you every time they pull you over.

If youre going to build an engine and then be disapointed everytime you see a plain interior/exterior, then don't do it. Or vice versa. Personally an engine is the last item on build list because it is the most expensive and arguably the most important part. So I want to do it right once, not okla twice. If I were you I would do everything else first, suspension, brakes, interior... You name it, get it ready for a highpowered engine.
Good luck with it. Hope you are happy with whatever you do.
