I should add, The sale includes valve stems but NO TYRES and NO CENTRE CAPS. For reference, the tyres that are on in these photos are 205/45/R16 Thanks :) -
Hey guys, SOLD. More items to come soon. I have no idea why the photos are upside down....

Should I go with ITG rather than K&N?

They're generally 3" rubber necks, if you have a 3" diameter CAI it'll fit. -

This. Having said that i run the 3A and for the price, go for your life :) -
Yes the aerpro ones will fit AUDM.

You can generally get the fascia 'ears' from any audio installation store like Alberts - shouldn't really cost more than $10-$15. Or try http://www.elite-electronics.com.au/

Sorry man forgot! As you can see it exposes the 'shaft'. But it feels so much better imo.

If you average it out 180 000 over 9 years (03) is actually what they term 'average' KMs for a car - 20 000km/year. Some people will argue that 'highway KMs' are better on the car than start-stop city driving. I haven't formed an opinion over that and I'm not gonna start an argument here haha. Placed in your shoes, i'd be looking at the 03 model purely cos its newer in terms of KMs. Looks unmolested/unmodified which I like as a base car, that way you know exactly what you're doing with your mods. But I get where you're coming from in terms of the 'looks' of the facelift. I may be biased against old cars because prior to my sportivo i drove a 92 S13 which was nothing but trouble for me haha. I'm hoping someone else can chime in to the 'reliability' of these 2ZZ engines.
-
I would personally buy the newest, lowest KM car you can afford with the best service history. I can't speak for the reliability of the engine because mine has only done 130 xxx km but I hear that the 2ZZ is a rather expensive engine to source (engine alone). Got links to the two cars you posted? Im curious as to why the 03 model has significantly less KMs on it, even though its older. What mods would you be looking at?

The TWM one coupled with a TWM short shifter did not expose the shaft, I have recently swapped to a TRD quick shifter instead with the duracon one and that does. I didn't like the feel of the TWM one after awhile. I'll get you a photo of the Duracon one this weekend.
-
I'm using the TRD Duracon one too. Had a Blox Type R replica one and a TWM one in the past. Both metal and got way too hot in summer for my liking.

This belongs to one of the guys on here, I stole it from the wide wheels thread. Not sure if its the BBS you're looking for but maybe PM him? From memory he told me it was 16x8 +20 or there abouts.
