Gold Coast New Member :P 

 

So I have just Moved to QLD - Gold Coast from NSW originally... 

I acquired the car from a close friend of mine at 274,000KMs needing a little TLC

This is the tank as I received it... 

 

Problems:

Rust along the front windscreen 

Rust around gas struts LHS punched through 

Radio system sucks and LHS speaker crackles 

RHS rear reflector is cracked  

LHS front wheel cover is cracked 

 

 

From what i could tell its as stock as a rock 6 cyl 

 

Photo above was me bringing it home in NSW to carry out a full service... 

 

after this is ordered and installed 

Pioneer Speakers (6.5 components in front and 4" 2ways for the back) - I listened to everything in super cheap until i found something i was happy with 

12" MTX Sub and AMP 

 

30cm LED strips 

 

55w HIDs Hi and Lo beams 6000k  (stole these at $37 AUD on ebay) 

 

Android Head Unit (again these are the best from my experiences in the past) 

 

and had the car Tinted by a friend. 

 

Alarm system install ... (because key opening is Lame)

Id really like to source the reflector on the rear bumbper if anyone knows a place please let me know... 

Id also again like to source a wheel cap 

 

 

I'll probably lift her up and get a Bar next when time permits ... 

 

Oh the other issue was a speradic ABS light appearing ... 

front wheels removed and sensors cleaned ..lights gone... 

 

 

My wife and I managed to drive NSW to QLD in this car and 2 trips to coffs since,.

 

Since getting here to the Gold Coast I have arranged for the Rust to be repaired and front windscreen to be replaced (has a small crack in it) for under $1000 AUD... then its time to pit it for QLD rego ... 

 

So far I really l.ike the car other than its crappy fuel consumption its a pleasure to drive especially on round abouts with the LSD ;) 

 

 

 

Kind Regards, 

 

Kaotic
