    Very neat looking vehicle mate.

    Some decent wheels, and drop the height, she'll be sweet.

    Then you got the usual mods like exhaust, cai, foamie tune etc.

    lowered and rims, that will be a nice cruiser for a new p plater. Don't put a big FARTY exhaust on it. A nice deck and speakers and you will be set!!!
    Nice pick up

    Heyy all thanks for the feedback!

    Auctually it only had 160 000kms on the clock, lol. Ive taken it a couple of times to another town thats about an hr and a half away. She runs sweet, currently the only problem is shes a little rough when you first start her and shes cold, but my pop insists thats just because its fuel injected and its got a computer so im all happy

    Thanks again for the feedback!!

    Nice score. Looks clean as.

    I don't wanna tell you what to do with your car, but I reckon it could use a set of clear indicators, take of mudflaps and rear visor, maybe lower it a bit (if you're into that).

    Lol thats pretty much what im planning on doing , the only thing is its living at my pops at the moment and i cant really touch it. So within the first week of it coming home, the mudflaps are off, the rear visor goes and clear side indicators are on. After i save up ait of money im wanting to buy a nice set of 17 inch rims and maybe get it lowered just a tad

    i always reckon a clean debadge and paint the rear garnish are always a cheap effective mod in my opinion

    Hey Chalky

    Sounds like your old man's still thinking back in the old Carby days. Fuel injection and computers should make the car run much smoother, not rougher.

    Be a good idea to check plugs, leads, air and fuel filters, just to see that they are as good as they can be. Won't cost much, but could make a fair bit of difference.

    Thanks mate. I knew there had to be something wrong because alot of other people have had the same problem. We've replaced the fuel and air filters and also the leads. Im pretty sure we've also replaced the plugs too

    Thanks for your help
