  1. I should be alright to come in next week. Would be great to see you guys again after the new year ;)
  2. Alright, so I finally decide to make a thread for my car. Just to clarify things.. Nothing (much) has been done to it, modding wise. My first car was a 2000 Toyota Camry Wagon, after 1 year on my P's, I bought a new car.. A 2008 Aurion AT-X. It was purchased from Manheim Fowles in Altona on the 13th of Feb 2010. Total price was something like $17,3xx. It had 67,xxxkm done and was an ex-rental. The service book was, and still is, up to date. It's been almost a year since I got the car, and I've just hit the 82,000km mark. Here are some photos.. Sadly, but true, this is the first photo I ever took of my car. After my first wash. After I installed the TRD Style grill *Puts flame suit on* I wanted to start modding my car a little more.. wanting it to stand out and be different to the rest. I always loved the TRD Aurion and thought about the body kits for my car. After a few weeks of thinking.. I decided to follow through with my stupidity and purchase the TRD Style BodyKit from those rstyleracing guys in Thailand. After the long wait for the kit to be shipped down to Melbourne, I had some problems with customs and apparently didn't pay for this and that, blah blah... The kit finally got here late 2010, aaaand here are some photos.. Front bumper Rear bumper Side skirts (they were together) Another TRD Style grill... Exhaust tips Went down to my panel beater the following week and after 13 hours of working on my car... it didn't fit. The brackets that are on the body of the car need to be taken off the car, the kit itself is chipped in various places, there are no holes for the screws or anything for that matter. Long story short.. it can be done, 100% job. But it will probably cost more then an original TRD body kit -.- Only photo I managed to take of my car without a kit Alright, I'm tired of typing.. You guys can burn me with words now. I'll add in all the 'mods' and continue with what's been happening tomorrow.

      Today:

      1) Panel interview was okay.

      2) My car is damaged, just the front bumper, no metal damage.

      *starting to make my own thread*

  4. Man this is so true.. I drove 53km last week from when the fuel warning light turned on till I filled up, somehow only managed to get in 61L Edit: Forgot to mention that I drive like a granny when the light comes on.. and like a P plater after I fill up ;)
  5. Dude you're like a Ninja. Can see me but you are never there
  6. That's hot. Very nice car, take good care of it ;)
  7. I'd assume it's best for you to call up Vic Roads, or just walk in and ask them. Guessing it'd either be free, a small fee or $600~ to re-register the car under that No. Plate, but i doubt the last one.
  8. Ultra-Racing front strut bar.. installed

      also, where the bolts easy to come off? if they aren't I really don't want to push it and manage to strip them :|

      Nah, I've had enough experience with hard turns to realise there is a difference. Bolts came off with an air gun xD

  9. Does it make it ok if the chromies were free?

  10. I saw a black Rukus with the No. plate 'YATA'.. (i think) on Somerton Rd. You on the forums?
  11. There is one around the corner from my house. Very nice car, just not for me.
  12. Thinking about canceling all future plans for the Aurion and save up for an FT-86...

      Why am I not surprised at that answer?

  13. I thought that was you!!!! But I went into Super Cheap, was just looking around for something I might think I want. Haha, not to worry about the chrome. The car will be looking quite awesome in a few months ;)
  14. Well it turns out that I'm working every night this week, except Friday. Sorry guys, have fun without me :D
  15. I'll be able to tell you late tonight. Just gotta check if I'm working Tuesday night or not. Parking, 2 min from Crown? Gotta be near the beach for sure.
  16. HID kit tells me I need use a 20A fuse. It doesn't state where, would anyone know where it goes?

    1. Kenpo

      Kenpo

      ...yes I have researched this, and no I haven't found an answer yet. Kinda tempted to just try it without the fuse

    2. DJKOR

      The HID kit probably assumes you will plug it into your normal headlight socket for power. In that case, the fuse for that is in your engine bay fuse box. I wouldn't bother though, the stock 15A (or even 10A) fuse will work.

      Aha! Thanks for that DJ, I went along and tried it without the fuse. Thought i'd check if it was bright by staring directly into the light.. not a good idea. Can only imagine how bright the 8000k in your car would be :o

  17. ...hehe :whistling: After the K&N was installed, staying in the low revs doesn't seem normal anymore Which lights? The ones at Roxburgh Park drive? I'm always looking at the Silver Aurions but never manage to spot you :( Yeah man, the one at the school. I stopped right behind you at the lights. My car was shiny and clean as if you didn't notice me on your rear view mirror haha! You turned at the roundabout(where the road construction is going on next to the empty land) and I almost beeped my horn but turned the corner and I had to continue on straight to go home so I lost you again lol Oh there! Yes, I love that part of road :D Next time stop by Pizza Hut in the late afternoon. If my car is there, then I will be too ;)

  19. Ah man, I'm in tears from all your vids DJ. :clap: Haven't laughed this hard in a while!!
  20. I'm with Peter on this one. I've just hit the 80,000km mark and also an ex-rental. I never have problems with the ride being bouncy, just a smooth and joyful ride every time ;)
  21. Alright seriously. Rain, GTFO summer.

  22. WOOOOOOOOOO! Another one joins the team!!!
  23. Haha, was it actually you? I only realised it might have you after seeing the grill. Has to be me. I worked at Pizza Hut from 5-10pm. Ah so unfair xD aH yeah. I thought you were buying some pizza. Mum was next to me so I was taxiing her to the Chemist so I couldn't really stop to say hi, when you pulled in I was leaving at the lights <_<. I thought you would have noticed my car at least haha. It was a kind of oh **** is it him(?!) moment Don't worry about the drink for now :P. Lets just say the score is now 1 - 0 Name your drink, it was a part of the deal :P Also, there was a guy with an SX6 Aurion outside of Pizza Hut at about 10:10pm. 1) Your mate is an idiot. 2) Your other mate is an idiot. 3) Get the K&N, you know you loved the sound ;)
