F l a k's '94 VR Exec

Update:
After a couple of day's at Wagga Wheel Alignment Centre it turns out that the problem was both the shocks were faulty. They were swapped out for new items, and I also had a wheel alignment done, as well as a couple of my mistakes fixed; I had the washers back to front on the passenger sway bar link and z bar lol :doh:, and didn't tighten a few things quite as mush as I should have but not so little it was a major concern really, as well as having the steering rack adjusted, the diff checked and the transmission serviced.

No noises now, it's all fixed and up to date with its services. Money well spent
And if you're nearby, I recommend these guys, they were helpful as.

got the wheel part right,throw sum dark tints and a set of lowered spring's,and she will be a really nice looking ride

Thanks man, yeah it's tinted already but I'm going to go darker later on, and it is lowered. I agree it will probably look better a bit lower, but it handles really well for what I want at the moment, and any lower and I won't be able to navigate my driveway or tow anything (have a box trailer and a ski-boat project). But yeah, thanks

Update:
Yesterday I got a new stereo installed by Wagga Car Radio and Hi Fi. Took them about a day all up.
Focal 165A-1's in the front, with the tweeters up in the dash where they are on higher models from factory, but as mines an Exec. the dash had slots cut out, but you cant tell, it's done really well. Focal 165CA-1's in the rear, under the factory covers, which is why I went 6" not 6x9". The head unit is an Alpine CDE-102Ei, with an iPod cable from behind into the glove box. I also had all the wiring replaced and all the joins covered with heat shrink, and a rocker switch added to the boot, in front of the light to turn it on and off. And I bought my first iPod just for this lol, a black 160GB Classic. All up I'm happy with the work and it sounds really good.
