FOOMAN Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 All I can say is thats overrated! Either sell it to me :P or keep it stock and just make it a clean overrated looking ride. Then buy a ke70 and make that drift spec to thrash and crash. (Coz as much as I hate saying it, us P platers do tend to hit things by 'Accident' on occasion) Quote
ke70dave Posted April 11, 2011 Report Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) my goodness i hate the term "gramdma spec"!!!!! the others are right, due to the current laws in QLD, your legal modification allowables are somewhat limited. lower + wheels (with good tyres) + a nice CD player is what i would do. new shocks all round while you are at it. (not upgraded or anything, just new ones) remote central locking and an alarm (chirp - lock, chirp chirp - unlock) always gets looks on old cars;) also, i never crashed when i was on my p plates!

Kezzar Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Posted April 12, 2011 Hey mate. What a really nice Wagon you've got yourself there. It's quite funny, 'cause I'm 3 Months from my Learner's myself. Any more Pics of this Beauty? :) As of the above Suggestions: Lower it 1" or 2" all round, Throw on a nice set of 14s, Chuck in a 5K with a 32/36 Weber and 5-Speed, and you'll have yourself a Nice and Clean Shag-Wagon. ;) But please, don't try to Drift it. It's too clean and too Grandma-Spec. If anything, you'll only get some Peg Action out of these, which I find more fun. :yes: All the best with it. :y: Josh :cool: you read my mind thats exactly what i got in mind with it excluding the 5k for now due to mod plate laws Quote
Kezzar Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Got some stock alloys and tyres(just for now) 5 for 100$ bargin, spent about 20 bucks on polishing equipment and 2000p sandpaper and paint, resprayed the center dish and did the black ring with a fine brush and they look good as new, in my opinion.

Kezzar Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Posted April 12, 2011 I'm picking up my springs and lowering blocks today, 2 1/2 inch back and like 2 inch front once the front springs sofen up abit. Quote
JJT036 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Sounds cool. Just make sure you take some before and after pics too. :) Josh :cool: Quote
Kezzar Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Posted April 23, 2011 Got whole Exhaust system for 120 bucks of my brothers mate who writ hes ke70 off, Custom Extractors, 2 1/2 inch whole way through, with twin undersweep pipes, havent put them on, but he says they sound brutal, take a look for yourself.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) don't get why you are bumping a rides thread. But the exhaust will be nuts. I give you 3 months before you are either sick of the noise :happy: Or defected because of it :laff: Mine was extractors to 2" to hotdog, 2" under diff to dump cannon. Got defected and got a sports exhaust on the end, can now hear my stereo and can hear stuff after driving it. Edited May 26, 2011 by blzbub666 Quote
Kezzar Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Posted April 26, 2011 keeping the factor in mind non stop, theres an excuse that got the guy i brought it off cops of hes back, but $120 no one could say no, make some variations under 200 bucks to make it legal , better then getting defected on a $800+ exhaust, plus sorry for bump, habit.

Kezzar Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Got my wheels on with new tyres, got the exhaust fitted and extended to fit the wagon and got my front lowered springs in. now i'm looking to get the back leaf spring reset 2"-3" (depending on what rims i get) and get some nicer 15 or 16 inch rims. Edited June 2, 2011 by Kezzar Quote
Kezzar Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 kk so next on my list is to get the back lowered, ive decided to get the leafs reset, and found i close by place that will do so, I'm looking at getting the back dropped 2-2 and half, opinions please :). heres another pic of the cars current state :3.
