least this one will handle

ps: if in case of prevailing lack of traction, aim for the gaps in the trees on the inside of marmion, not the power poles on the outside, There is also less kerb haha! in your defense that corner is mighty oily and slippery, had the nose of the lux pointing in the wrong direction many a time lol

@ Russ and Phill

used this:

Turtle wax Headlight Lens Restorer - Supercheap Auto Australia

cheap as, took me all of 2 minutes per headlight, wish I took a before and after, but it is amazing stuff...polish on, polish off, then use a sealing wipe.

Still in the process of fixing the car up, and up to date with servicing maintenance etc...

new O2 sensor just done and wheel bearings are next, along with the 100k service, has set back any decent mods being done.

Installed half the stereo this week, decided to buy a single DIN Sony deck - link (Sony 200 Watt MP3/CD Tuner With Bluetooth - CD Tuners - JB Hi-Fi - Smashing Prices!)

filled the other DIN with a universal DIN pocket, also from JBHIFI, iPhone pics will be attached.

Ran the wires, installed subs and amp, just the 2 x 12's in a box for now, but may change later on...

APS CAI was bought off Joe (PMH) and will be installed shortly, along with a Walbro fuel pump, on order when pay comes through this month. Then tuned at Evo R.

Speakers will be ordered this month (hopefully) Alpine Type R splits for the front, MB Quart 5.25' splits for the rear, running off the old V-power amp I have at home...

sound deadening if anybody is interested, I have found some on Ebay, from the states, very similar to Dynamat etc, but you get a lot for what you pay...comparing to dynamat, a kit with 36 square feet will set you back $230, for that you can get 50 square feet of rattle trap; eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d

so will be getting some of that as the rattles in the boot are irritating....

then coilovers, rims, lip, low
