Picked it up today, 130,000 kms on the clock owned by an old Asian lady. Needed only minor things for a roady... all up it cost me $6,500 on the road with brand new brake pads/discs, muffler, front bushes and tyres.
(so hopefully I'll make a profit off selling my other car)
At the moment, within 2 hours of having it home in the driveway (and measuring the SUPERB fuel economy of the Ecotec) I had the stereo out of it (thanks to the guys in the vs thread about taking the unit out, it took me and my mate
a while but we did it ! )
Replaced the stereo with a Pioneer DHM .. something model, a few months old out of my old ride but it's still a very good unit.
Unfortunately, I didn't transfer the 6x9's, so I'll have to buy some more. But my amp and 1500 watt Yoko sub will be in the boot and rigged up within a few days.
Apart from the audio system, upgraded the headlights to xenon filled bulbs and contemplating putting either red neons (i think they'd be better) or blue's inside the car (so the Police don't hassle me). Ohh, and I also put on some VT series two indicators. Thinking about series 2 badges just to give it that classier look, but I'm not sure.
At the moment she's pretty stock as a rock, but in the next few months got a CAI planned, maybe a 2.5 inch exhaust, definately 6x9's and another amp, get the windows re-tinted because it's starting to look a bit tacky... put fog lights in (muzztek bro) and maybe some blue/red neons in the front grill. 18's are on the cards in the next 4/5 months as well as a lowering kit.
Body has two or three scratches, only one thats noticeable on the back quarter. That said, its got immaculate paint and no dents (one little chip under the front bar).
Sorry about the quality/time of the photos, i just finished with the head unit when it started getting dark.
Will post some more up when I can get around to it.
