Bruster's ZR6

[Bruster]

Hi everyone,

this has been a longtime coming but its been a while since i had some time to take photos and wash the car.

I have been in the forums for a longtime but more active recently reading and posting.

I've always loved cars but never been a heavy modifier of cars, last year i decided to upgrade my wheels for my Rav4 only to find out

they sold me the wrong tyres with wrong loading...yes it was one of the tyre centres along Princes Hwy between Rockdale and Tempe.

Since then i have taken an active role in researching everything and not do things on the spot without thinking.

Anyways Feb 2010 i bought this Demo ZR6 model and i am extremely happy with it.

After reading the forums first thing i did was Install GPS/DVD player from Ebay...best $370 i ever spent.

And most recently i installed the dvd players on the headrest...this one was more tricky and time consuming but worth it.

I also installed a switch in the middle console where i can turn off the headrest dvd player if the little falls a sleep or decides to chuck a tantrum..

Next thing on the list is to get 19inch wheels but i need to offload some old wheels that still in the garage before i purchase another set.

and of course lowering the car but this step im confused with what will happen with insurance, warranty and ride quality.

here are some photos

Looking good mate. Nice to see you have a helping hand with cleaning

Like those headrest monitors as well how they have the cover for them. Also never realised the Sportivo leather seats were designed like that (as in the raised bit either side of the headrest). That was something I noticed on the TRD and thought only those seats had.

Edit: Disregard my last comment. I had forgotten what my Sportivo looked like... just in cloth.

Thanks mate, yeah little one doesnt leave me alone...its a must when i do wash the car

Sunday is the only full day together...he loves it.

yes i was worrried about the seats...but they seem to sit nicely.

hardly notice it really, the covers are great and nobody knows there is dvd players in there.

Hi again,

i have finally sold my old wheels and have managed to get an unbelievable deal on a set of Advanti Gauntlet 19 inch.

Now need your help, should i go White or Black.... most people here at work tend to go with the white but black seems to be the in thing. my Aurion is a Tungsten Colour.

here are the wheels im talking about

[1stKill]

Black...but i'm biased. :)

[juvenile]

I like white but all white,because they are machined I'd say get the black ones,they'll suit better :D

[Silver-Aurion]

Black...but i'm biased. :)

+1 to black. Black looks mean. Shiny looks cheap and pimp wanna be.

[Bruster]

Black it is ..then

ordered and are due to arrive on Tuesday/Wednesday

cant wait.

tried both side by side and its true silver one looks a bit generic.

[juvenile]

So pics up Wed night then? looking forward to seeing em on...

[Bruster]

okay, wheels are finally here.

got them put on today.

Photo was taken outside my office but on the weekend will take better photos.

[1stKill]

Nice...they go well with the color of your ride,look forward to seeing more pics. :)

[Silver-Aurion]

That looks tough mate. Loving the look and seriously jealous :ph34r: B)

That is one clean ride... Needs lowering and the slimline windshield.

its been a while, but i have done Window Tint

and obviously the wheels were done late last year but now with better pictures.

im unsure if i should lower it, my driveway is already a little steep.

Well lowering it should be next but im concerned with the ride quality and scrapping in the driveway.

im quite happy with the look so far, maybe HID kit next... cheap mod...

[Tash]

That is true - plus HID's look good too :D

Driveway is the main thing preventing me from lowering, until the council fix it the car's gotta stay at stock height otherwise there'd be no way of getting in or out :(

If you wanna lower it and concerned about scrapping, here's a win win. Fix the driveway!

i wish it was that simple, unfortunately its council area

i even looked into getting little metal ramps but can not find it anywhere.

i also experimented with a large piece of wood but apparently i can not put anything there that

blocks the storm water from flowing....according to my neighbour...im sure it was a hint not to do it when

he approached me.

the only other option is coilovers because i can adjust the height but that has to wait until warranty runs out.
