update: getting tints from tint-a-car (midnight express) booked in for 2moro

spotted black zre152r on sydney/barry road with gold rims.

you on this forum?

lol black is a bad colour, you must be asian.

asian myself, i didnt have that problem, i chose whatever i liked but then after a while, i realised that i shouldve got a silver, much easier to take care of

yeah man im viet hahaha. yea gets dirty easy looks like a mess all the time

you viet im viet/chinese :P hahahahhaha mad shiz ur car manual or auto ?

LOL nice. MANUAL of course, i wouldn't get an automatic no way!

hey dude nice ride, is it lowered? if so, how much drop did you go and was it just springs you got? hows the ride ? bouncy or stable?

i think that would make the rolla breathe easier, but for the sound, i dont think its any different

ahh okay i think i'll get one LOL

is it worth buying a K&N replacement panel filter? does it sound better?

cheers!

spotted blue pre facelift at rosanna on sunday. had eyelids and wingtips too

spotted that blue pre facelift sportivo as well yesterday 17-02-09 going down greensborough hwy heading towards rosanna. i was going the way other :)

wishing my car looked like this, simple but nice

will be lowering mine soon too :P just gotta get tints first

It's prob. best and easiest to ring up aami and ask them, just to be sure.

Another option for your window tinting is arma.net.au it's on Keilor Rd, Niddrie. Don't know about the warranty details though. I live in the tulla area, gladdy to be precise, so if you see an aztec blue ZRE sedan with green P's, that's probably me.

aiight cheers thanks for the reply. i'll check them out thanks for the heads up.

hahaha ooo blue zre nice lol got any pics? i'll be sure to keep an eye, beep u if i see u haha

hhaha dont worry man it'll be a beast soon =P

Welcome mate! I got a new ZRE too, those lights look pretty good man though at night will others be able to see the brake lights n ****? i like the levin zr cos of the spoiler n mud flaps and side skirts =D

u planning to get rims or any other mods?

Hey congrats on the ZRE purchase. Talking about colours Graphite is prolly the worst to clean haha, it always looks clean from a distance but always dirty when close lol.

AUR15

haha cheers man, yeah any dark color is nice from far but up close u can really see the dirty details lol

viet ooo im thai but can speak a few words or vietnamese. Toi dep chai, di di mao umzz mai mut chim tao?

hahaha nice man keep learning LOL

Don't wanna double post so i'll save space n post in this.

Does anyone have any idea if i'm still covered (insurance wise) because i got aftermarket rims? im with AAMI insurance and got full comprehensive insurance.

Also if i get tints would that be covered too?

Hope someone can shed some light.

Cheers!

Welcome as Kev said nice to see another ZRE owner :D!!! too bad your in vic :(

Cheers mate, ahhaha vic owns

WELCOME to TOCAU :P cool black ZRE :D i wanted a black ZRE too but my parents didnt want it so i got red STILL GOOD :P but welcomes neways

Thanks =D. hahaha my parents wanted another color cos they sed its a bad color, but black or maroon were the only ones left at the dealer and yeah got black :D woo

Welcome mate! your ride looks familiar I might have seen you on the roads..

Vinh

Thanks man! haha i'm from the broady area so if u live around there i guess u might've but if not i also travel to burwood to work so u prolly seen me on the way

how much are your rims ?

they were $1300 including tyres, lock nuts, nitrogen inflation, balance, align... (got the whole package from bob jane t marts - i was quoted $1450 at other places for same rims and smaller tyres without nuts so i tihnk its a good deal)

the tyres aren't the best, some brand i never heard of but the guy told me they were performance type so i guess thats good, cos at first he offered me passenger maxxis tyres but then offered me those.

Welcome mate! I was wondering how is the handling with 17x7 rims and stock suspension? because I'm after some new rims and keep the stock suspension and not too sure should I get 16" or 17", it is easier to get 17" but I dont wanna lower the car so may be 17" will make the car higher...

Thanks man! about handling ? its bloody awesome LOL cos i got wider tyres 215/45's, when i turn it's less body roll and more grip, about road noise i hardly notice difference between stock n the rims since i pump music up and there is abit of clearance in the rear and less in the front. i guess if u want looks go for 18's or 17's cos if u dont lower it, makes the rims look small real small LOL

deep dish sounds nice gotta show me once u get them better not be same as mine :P joke haha

wow $700 for skirts LOL fk $350 each, not too bad i guess if u think of it as $1 a day so 700 days it all pays off LOL hahaha

HIDs are they for lights or something? not to sure about them

yeah i think it does. ill have a read of the paper they gave me for the guarantee and PM it to you. i cant at the moment because im not at home.

as you may have noticed. my car is completely stock except for the tints. i plan to lower and get a wheel and tyre package later on.

oh and hopefully a trc front lip rofl.

haha thanks man. i'll be definately getting tints, i just checked out solartints n theres one close to my area so i might go check it out

Yeah stock, same with mine but slowly but surely, one at a time and it'll eventually turn into a nice ride. What wheels u planing on getting? (colour, style)

The front lip is not bad but i rekon the zre's front is pretty agressive looking. however the rear lacks abit so i might enquire the dealer about side skirts, the rear lip and roof spoiler... probably cost $5000 LOLOLLOLOL GG

ahh sweet thanks man, i'll definately get tints but does that lifetime gurantee cover bubbling and the other stuff too?

i got my car done by solartint. high end tints for 300 bux (was on special)

here are before and after shots:

Before

After

note: they are 35%

Very nice, looks good. Do you notice a difference in interior heat in comparison to no tints when parked for a while in the sun?

thanks for the welcomeness guys appreciate it =D

Question:

Tint-a-car a good place for tints?

I heard Tint Professor is average..

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the forums, havn't posted much so i'd thoght I'd start properly with a proper introduction.

Below are a few snapshots of my ZRE rolla that the folks bought for me brand new a couple of months back. I havn't done much to it besides the wheels (17x7 Speedy Lite-5's)

My next additions are tints (from Tint-a-Car [midnight express]) and future mods/additions are probably lowering springs, possibily a kit and maybe CAI but we'll see how it goes.

Hope you guys like it as much as I do!

Any comments welcome!

Cheers.

UPDATE: some new visual mods...

this pic looks like its gone into terminator mode..

sorry, havn't updated in a while.

how do u install the panel filter? was thinking of getting one

Hey, I just got these 17'' Speedy Lite-5's with 215/45 tyres (brand= admiral) LOL, lock nuts and nitrogen inflation for $1300 from bob jane t marts. perhaps give them a visit, they gave me a good price

Below is a pic of it

Hi, i found this on ebay. Would this fit?
