Should have said something I am heading to melb next weekend

[sundee]

one of those things you just need to snatch up when the come around.
pretty cheap to get there, $150 for air ticket + fuel home.. should be 1 tank and a bit.. 70L tank.

you might know this matt... what the deal with changing rego over from a car brought interstate? specifically vic?

[sundee]

Well the old girl in in top condition.
Would have done Melbourne - Sydney in 1 tank.
Good old 5mge steamed along at 120 the whole way
Filled up at 540km and 70L tank took 58L.
So at that burn rate the 70L would get me 670km.
Not bad for an old injected 6cyl.

Will eventually look something like this.



Equips look good to

Rego is a blueslip

[sundee]

But you forfit the existing rego yeah?

[Matt]

Yep

[sundee]

What a joke!

looking into a 1jz vvti conversion for this now, old 5m is getting tired.

did a backyard lowering job and fitted up 16 x 9 - zero all round with 205/50's

perfect fitment!

i took these pics when it was 1st done.. its settle down a bit more now..

when you lower these things.. if you set the same guard clearance front and rear, its sits ass high.. i prefer it sitting level so i left the front a little higher ... there only choppies so can always take more, cant give it back.

it will get T3 coilovers front and rear and a set of xcessivemotorsport knuckles.

Dude new shocks and bushes is all it needs, you go crazy coils and shit and it loses its luxury
