Picked it up October last year, just after i turned 18 with no knowledge of cars or anything got it for $3000, and a month or two later everything started shitting itself, Gas computer, Harmonic balancer, alternator, etc. etc. the list went on, ive finally got the thing stable so i can start working on the outside of it trying to make it look nice.

My licence is suspended at the moment so its given me time to stuff around with it.

The engine is completely stock, and im going to do a backyard re trim of the carpets and dye the door trims,dash and plastics a dark grey black, i find the blue/green colour just **** as.

I did the VY DIY mod on darkening your headlights. heres my result.

A big list of future mods when i get a bit more money.

cheers guys.

yeah i cant stand it, my mates dad has an automotive and marine carpet company and he said he can get me a roll of black carpet with glue, so im hoping he keeps his word on that.

yeah im picking up some dress rings in the next week, and lowering the front tomorrow, do you think the KHFL-47SL's should sit alright at the front?

[nathanVY]

ahh bugger, what happened lol

 

[emir3008]

had a ######## in peak hour infront of me so i pulled into a small gap next to me and then the guy infront of me started merging while i was like next to him so my first response was to accelerate to get infront of him before hed hit me.

and speed camera claims my car went from 55 - 85-90 in no time.

just a month tho and gives me time to save money, and actually get more work done on my car as its just sitting at the bottom of my driveway.
