Thought I'd sign up on the JC forums after a few years of lurking, and I'm also a bit over the crap over on SC...

So yes, here is my car. Nothing special, but she keeps me happy. Currently trying to fix a broken power window, and painting all the interior plastics black, then trying to track down some black roof lining.

fine looking car that....!

[DevilDRake]

Thats an awesome car man

[MR_VX]

you must have different springs in that coz i have EF2 and mine doesnt sit that nice and low

[Jesterarts]

Ok.. usually I don't care much for mock clubbies, but your's look immaculate... Nice work.

[vuchris]

looks nice! wheels suit it well

[benjamino]

agree with jester, but man, thats clean as.
awesome.

[.:FunkyMonk:.]

Thanks guys. She does ok, gets plenty of looks, and somehow doesn't get in too much trouble with the boys in blue.

Latest mods..... 4 new tyres? haha. I'll have a full LED dash conversion done by the end of the week, so that should be good. Also should really get my butt into gear and finish the interior....

I want to upgrade the suspension, as I'm sick of paying for chiropractors to fix my back due to the car. I've considered replacing the shocks with Monroe GT sports, but also thinking some Pedders XA coilovers. I know it's 4x the cost for all 4 corners, just don't really know if it is worth the extra money?

Geez, this thing is crazy. beautiful colour and manual..you got good taste mate, im a bit biased cos mine is the same coulour ahs leather and manual just like yours just not clubby kitted great work mate looks the part

[brodiewilson]

Sick ride man, them wheels suit it real well.

man that looks 100% perfect, theres absolutely nothing to pick on, i wouldnt change a single thing.. i didnt like the look of the factory tiga micra clubsport,(with silver bits on body kit) but in love with this..
and if u see one that looks identical yours, its probly me cause im keen to copy it lol,

[undersuspicion]

all i can say is that looks absolutely mint!

[.:FunkyMonk:.]

Thanks guys! Really means a lot. Considering I was thinking about selling it soon as well. Pretty set on some new shocks and brakes soon. Front bar needs a little touch up, then a cut and polish to get rid of some pesty sap stains. After that thinking boot install 12" DD's in each corner, 1.98 roller rockers, and continue fixing up the interior over time.

[.:FunkyMonk:.]

Well I had Greg from ASR around on Saturday afternoon do some work on my car. Now all blue LED interior lights/dash and foot well lights. I'm pretty darn happy with the result, just a few quick snaps, I'll try and get some better ones soon.

[VX21]

looks amazing mate! how much did it set ya back?

[.:FunkyMonk:.]

Can't remember exactly mate, but check the ASR-Audio website, has the full pricing guide.

New picture as well, taken by a friend for her TAFE project.

[sweefu]

Nice as mate! Love it.

[.:FunkyMonk:.]

Cheers man, she looks alright at times. Pissed I didn't have any tyre shine left at home.

Well, I've ordered some go fast bits from MACE, just enough to give her a little more poke. Not planning on breaking land speed records, but something I can get myself in trouble with haha.

[wana s' charge stock vt]

[VX21]

Haha oh I'd love to. Not sure how the manual box would go... If I were to go F.I. it'll be turbo for sure.

1.98 rockers, 69mm throttle body, cai, and manifold insulator. Should have a little more poke.
