  1. Welcome mate, i also kept my car stock for over a year. You've just been welcomed by one of the leaders in how to mod an Aurion.
  2. +5 JDM points. 3000K Foggies Before Install Half done, you can see the difference All done
  3. So you spoke to the 'boss'? You would think that if you brought it to shop to be painted they would paint it as close as possible to the original body color. Nah thats just f$rked. Any shop painting something like a kit should be as close to if not almost perfect match to the rest of your body. Did you give him the paint code/color? Or did you just tell him to paint it so it matches? Cause that could be it, i dunno. Sounds like your gonna be doing something twice at your loss. Hope something works out for ya
  4. yeah i'll pm it to you for your reference ;) johnny, i reckon 8.30am we leave sharp, i dunno about you guys but i dont want to be late for any reason sounds good. the westsiders will see you guys there
  5. Yep, gonna be a pain to do mine. Looks very nice though. I could actually see it under vinhs car when he drives up ahead. Having coilovers made it so much easier; around 15-20min mark. With normal springs, about 30-40mins. Got undo the shock absorber and lift the spring base to get swaybar bolt/base in.
  6. Yes, we were well above the water mate. Not like we're driving through rivers or whatnot. i was still at stock height back then, so driving through rivers would be no drama. That 'puddle' proved to be a great photo spot that day. This ones for tomee. For old times sake (Lee is in the back shooting like crazy)
  7. http://www.autosalon.com.au/articles/cars/auto-salon-magazine-85-the-final-issue Its a sad time. I collected and read many of their issues. A lot of their material got me hooked in the car scene. One of the best car mags over the last few years. Sad to see it go
  8. Just throw in 200k+ and you'll have Ken Blocks RS. For that price, i'll just wait for the FT86.
  9. Westsiders. We'll meet up beforehand and drive to Lilydale Lake together. Meet up say 9am somewhere and hit the eastern freeway from there. Besides from the regulars, if you want to come with us PM me or Kenshinx
  10. true lee, 3k+ on just rims.. +50 JDM pts straight up. the Stanley 69 piece socket set was on special for $69.00 lol. i swear im not making it up, i just noticed it now. should still be on special but they are going very fast.
  11. If you go any lower on the windshield, it becomes too far away. the window mount could be something. Drilling into the a-pillar is a no no. Right now my cradle isnt really effective, my bluetooth keeps cutting out just before connecting to a call. i dont know why, vinh and i tried to reprogram the phone back to the system. still does it. My old sony ericsson never had a drama. any ideas? damn you nokia n97 mini. should of got a sony ericsson experia X10
  12. yes, so tempted to john. they look very nice up close. i dont know, next year. i keep saying that.. then go and put my rims back on, order front strut and rear sway. and who knows wat else im gonna try sneak in before i go holidays end of the year. @private number; yeah man, wheels make the car, i was so over looking at my stockies. gay
  13. thats a zre meetup. @kenshinx: i'll never be fat.. neverrrr!!!!
  14. This is where mine is mounted. Sorry its not the greatest pic. Vinhs is mounted in the same area too.
  15. Headshot. 'they dont call it Amazing Race for nothing...' lmao
  16. Congrats on the buy. If you want the cheaper alternative then springs is the way to go, im not sure about how level and low pedders springs sit. But the best i've seen is Lovells Springs Lows. Front and rear are very close to being even. But if you want to be level and even, coilovers is the only way to go.
  17. Best (crazy-est) driver ever! Love it! Mass skills right there!
  18. Im not 100% sure but i think you cant. And you cant park on the same street as your previous spot either. I think you also cant do a 3point turn on single lane roads too. Last i read of the VicRoads New Laws update anyway. Correct me if im wrong?
  19. Update: Finally put the wheels back on. Got gutter rashed rim replaced and put back on, 4 wheel balance and alignment. Ride feels more smooth now. I can feel the car better with the wheels back on. I noticed a slight scrubbing noise when in almost full lock.. maybe its just me i dont know, but i'll see in the coming days. Osram Diadems (thanks to Vinh) Bought some goodies at supercheap auto Saw these rims at the tyre factory where i got my wheels done. hrmmmm... very appealing indeed. They are also King Wheels 3000k foglight bulbs are also on the way.. +5% JDMness Also, ordered C-One Front strut brace and Cusco Rear Sway. Hopefully they come in 2-3weeks, or whenever my source gets it.. sighh
  20. nice headunit swap, suits well. spotted a nice 'red' button in there too.. hehe
  21. Mine is for my Nokia N97 Mini; came with the phone package. I've mounted mine high on the drivers right hand side of the windscreen; not all the way up, high enough to access and see. i'll take a pic when i can.
