Loving the colour mate, is your centre compartment broken like 80% of the other vt owners around here?

[Juztin]

Altezza lights?!!?




Good luck with it mate.

Join the many of us with Tiger Colours =]

ooooooh remind's me how much i love tiger mica

[chrism182]

Glad you like it

Uploaded some new pics..

[chrism182]

I'm thinking of getting it lowered soon. Might keep the FE2's up front and put some SL's at the back. I wanna see what it would look like with my bodykit though.

[chrism182]

Replaced the S badge today. The old one was peeling so I bought a new one.

[sxc_sound]

Man this thing is minttttt, il straight swap you for your front bar :P. What other plans you got for it? a calais/berlina garnish might set it off

[nicko]

Looks nice mate.

Dont spend too much money on it, just some simple mods to make it a nice cruiser....

I have a manual 6 vt and they go ok but youll never make it "quick" without spending a shitload on it.

I reakon maybe lower it another inch or two, a nice catback with a resi so its not too loud and a pimpin stereo.

Yeah I know what you mean. I can't go the catback option thanks to the new P plate laws

My altezza tail lights (don't hurt me) are getting ordered in tomorrow and should be here Tuesday.

Thinking of getting a chrome grille or painting it white or silver too.

Ah thats to bad mate.

Calais lights w/ calais garnish would make it look soooooooooooo much better then alt's =[ =[


But suppose it's your car in the end =P

[chrism182]

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of calais garnishes to be honest. I dunno I like the look of altezza lights. The chrome grille idea is down the drain as I found out that the grilles are attached to the front bumper in my model

I might be careful and paint them white without taking the bumper off one day though.

[nicko]

Oh mate, if you cant get a catback atleast get a nice twin tip.

[chrism182]

I was looking at a nice tip the other day, wasn't twin though but it looked good. It'll be on the long list of things I need to do to it.

[chrism182]

It's been a couple of weeks since the last update. Here are my new Altezza Tail lights and just some random pics after I gave it a wax.

[chrism182]

I've also fixed up a couple of things inside the car. I have put in the missing cup holder in the centre compartment and fixed the little door below the CD player.

[chrism182]

Just put in some new SS pedals..

Old:


New:


They look much better

[sxc_sound]

damn 2 ppl iv seen now get these, I WANT A SET lol. they look mint

[chrism182]

They're about $120 excluding postage on eBay and they look great. Accelerator is really hard to install too. I busted by accelerator spring doing so and need to get a new one.

[sxc_sound]

oh serious? i thought they would be easy to install lol. Il have to go have a look at my pedal and see how hard it is

[KingNothing]

Those SS pedals look sweet man, nice ride.

[chrism182]

Yeah man.. The spring is easy to unclip (I have no clue how I broke it), getting the small pin bit out is really hard. Finally got that out, then found it it's nearly impossible to force it back in without breaking the new pedal. My pedal is being held in by a screw and bolt at the moment, which works fine and I just need to get a new spring. It's a pain in the arse.

[chrism182]

Foggies are in!

They look great imo. Thanks again to SLY60L and vs355 from SC for hooking me up with the foggies.

Here are some pics (excuse the dirt, she needs a wash):

[SMIT]

Looks good man, manual pedals look sweet. The rear altezzas suit as well.

[chrism182]

Took her to the mechanic today so get the gearbox fixed. It was a bit loose when in gear so that's all fixed up. Got the pedals installed properly. Airbag light no longer comes on when starting the car and got the MAF cleaned out, so hopefully I'll start getting better fuel economy.
