Ok so its pretty much just bog stock right now. But it has come a long way after just one week of owning it.

Future mods:

- New CD player

- Lowering (not sure if to get new springs and shocks or go with coilovers - please suggest what would be better for a daily driver)

- Sportivo wheels and maybe get them sprayed white

- Yellow lense foggies

- Centre dash lights to white LED's

- Either mesh grill or spraying centre grill black and outer chrome to match body (open to suggestions)

- New gear knob (when I actually find something good and doesn't look cheap)

- K&N filter (acquiring next week)

These are just plans for now any more ideas would be tops! Cheers!

Just installed a new head unit this evening. Custom colours to match with my dash lights.

Can anyone suggest a specific globe I can use to replace the centre cluster lights to match with the stock dash globes??
Surely someones done it white before?

If your looking for Sportivo rims I can give you mine if you want. But they need to be repaired (respray and bog for the gutter rashes)

First wash as soon as I got it and before removing the roof racks, this thing was filthy! (Note the middle aged woman number plates LOL)

What does the K&N filter do differently to the standard one??

There are some pretty cool gear knobs floating around ebay, i would have a look there. and theres also the toyota TRD ones.

K&N filters have better airflow to the engine increasing SOME power and better fuel consumption compared to the crappy thick cheap air filters you get from Supercheap. Plus they have lifetime warranty and you never have to change air filters again. I just bought one from ebay for 75 bucks coming from VIC in a few days. If you went somewhere local like Repco or something they'd charge you double that!

I personally think a great air filter is essential for any car!

I'm pretty sure sportivo stockies are the same size as our standard rims 16"

filter sounds good, might do my car good when i upgrade the exhaust to do the filter too.

would you be able to PM me the link for them?

Thaaaanks :)

Finally got the right globes to set up a white centre cluster. Very happy with the results
