Ahh.. it's been too long since i have been here....
I am working overseas at the moment (i wont be back for a while yet), earning a bit of cash, and a good amount of it is going to go towards the car.....
The car atm is a KF Verada Xi, which already has King Springs.. Alpine/JVC/Rockford Fosgate sound system .. K&N panel filter .. 16" roh wheels (quite nice if i saw bigger one's somewhere i might get them... the have a slight gold tinge to them) ... etc ...
Now i am contemplating selling it....
why you ask??
I still love the car, but it is starting to show a bit of wear and tear now, a lot of that is my doing (pulling out the back seat all of the time to play with amps, pulling up carpet for wiring... etc..) and although i liked the leather initially, i have gotten over it...but i still love all the extra little options it comes with.. which of the TJ's comes with all that stuff (within reason)
And i think i now want a manual, bcoz the auto box wont handle the performance upgrades that i want to do on it... so for starters.. does anyone know of a good home for it?? The front end (i.e. bonnet, guards, front bumper, headlights, radiator...) has all been replaced due to an accident with a %$@%%@ driver of a derelict %@%@ ute who doesn't know the meaning of a %@$%@#$ red light.... thankfully there was no structural damage tho, just parts, $8000 worth replaced by the insurance company ka-ching....
And.. now... i think i want a TJ. Vr-x or Sports .. manual of course (i hate the newer models look, i swear satan told the designer to make it like that.. lol)
And then i can start modding... hmm... coilovers.. hmm... CAI... hmm... supercharge?? turbo??
As an added bonus i am finally going to be moving out of my little hole called darwin to move to the big smoke of brisbane...
So basically, all am i asking is... do you reckon i am making a sane decision here?? The old car has run beautifully in the 4 years i have had it. Grr... i almost don't want to let it go... it's sooo damn hard... definately needs good home tho... arrrggh...
