Hi all finally a few pics of my car

Taken today

Also taken today

Very nice car, black on black = win :)

I've had it from new, this year is 6 years I've had it and still has only 21700k's, due to me also having a company car.

...

Very nice tidy looking car..
BLACK ON BLACK you'll fit in here perfectly around here :P

Just remember resist the temptation of DIY mods
Always check with members first :)

[QUOTE=crawl3r;749353]crazy low k's :) what mods have you done to it over the past 6 years.

would love to see what condition this is in, to compare to mine.[/QUOTE]

I've been buying my mods none installed yet but in a month it will have
A Cobb short ram intake
Cobb lightweight crank pulley
3" TBE Xforce exhaust
Bilstein PSS9 coilovers
DBA 5000 front and rear slotted brake rotors
And coming to Perth to tune it

Thanks
I ask about everything I'm about to do you guys have some of the best experience I've read out of all the forum sites

[QUOTE=crawl3r;749357]i recon go for the DIY mods.....most people here just pay everyone to do their work, do it yourself, learn more about your car. If you just drop your car at a shop every time to get stuff done your not learning anything.

Simple things like changing oils, fitting aftermarket parts ect ect can all be done in your own garage, if need be get it checked over by a professional later or get some of the forum members that have done things before to give you a hand.

do as much as you can yourself ;) that's my opinion[/QUOTE]

Sure i can do some of the mechanical but I pass my mod ideas around here first

...

[QUOTE=crawl3r;749360]good good :) this forum is awesome for advise, just remember to mod your car how you want it, not how others want it haha[/QUOTE]

Oh yes I know what I want eventually, so with every power mod I plan a handling mod to go with it
I'm not one for power first then handling :)

I'm sure others with more knowledge than me can confirm, but if I were you, I would get the exhaust and intake installed in Perth at the same time as getting it tuned. I fear that a drive from Karratha to Perth with those two mods fitted and no tune might cause you some issues. Or are you transporting it down to keep the k's off?

With mine, the exhaust was ok, but the intake made it run nasty on my short trip to ASG.

I'll be sure to look out for this black-on-black beast whenever I'm in K-town...it must stand out like dogs balls being one of the few tidy cars up here!

[QUOTE=crawl3r;749363]what power figures are you chasing? and who have you got in mind to tune it? im interested to see what benefits the Cobb lightweight crank pulley would have also[/QUOTE]

Well looking at all a few places, Revlimit, Race Torque or allstar.
The lightweight pulley is from old Skool mod thinking,(the more you lighten the mass that the engine has to drive it aids in power to the wheel no matter how small the gain)

I'm looking at 280 to 300 or so atw for a start, but got to do the pistons and conrods to make it reliable

It turns some heads but everyone up here is used to it now

Can remember driving to Karratha 3 times a year with my old job and lost count of the NEAR misses we had with local/imported animals :eek::eek::eek: on the roads between Geraldton/Carnarvon/Karratha....
