    He doesn't miss a thing.

    Random idea, thought of putting the CALAIS badge under the tail light n just taking the holden off all together? Be different.

    19's are the perfect diametre to your stockies ;)
    save the stockies for when you camber out the 'big wheels' or do what most do n burn them.

    i don't know what suspension i'm running lol. it's probably near legal limit realistically.

    some updates, because i haven't in a while

    just replaced radiator, top hose, and thermostat. since i've had the car i've also replaced water pump and bottom hose. entire cooling system is pretty much new now.

    [​IMG]

    also have installed some 6x9s powered by my headunit to get some bass happening. not enough though so i'll get a sub later on. pictures of that soon.

    car also has new battery, new coil, new oxy sensor.

    total cost so far: $8,659.50. keep in mind i'm sitting on stockies and my car's performance is stock or below :p


    TO HAPPEN IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE:
    1. fix timing and install foam chip
    2. cut and polish
    2. fit new holden boot badge
    3. buy some new chrome strips for bumpers (it's like $55 off ebay, pretty good if you ask me)

    it might be best to run those 6x9s of an amp as they need more power than a h/u and you will have more bass

    yeah, i was about to do it but then thought if i was going to buy an amp, i may as well just get a sub because i probably still won't be happy with the 6x9s :p.

    oh yeah another mod to add is for you to do some seats for me too haha. can you get the same colour interior as mine (pics first page)?
