Nice mate! It still looks pretty shiny as it is...would like to see a pic of it washed and polished :D

I really do like the Elante bodykit.

I'd recommend getting a nice alarm for your car before the stereo

Put aside about 400 bucks for a decent one installed :)

www.rhinosecurity.com.au make a good one, the GT is their model that's one under the top one and you'd get that installed for 400 bucks.

though i dont wanna spend to much on it as im buying a 96-97 Lancer and doing it up instead of the magna

Yay first gen elante!!!

I got one. I put remote central locking in it, cruise control and a cd player in it, and ive considered (and am still considering) putting power windows in it, but i really doubt it.

The car comes with eveything else inculding a screwed up bumper bar! It doesnt sit right.

RCL? Remote Central Locking? I got it from marlows when it existed in Vic, it was on special for $50, got one for dad also. Had it in for aroun 4 months i think, and it hasnt been any trouble yet :)

Hey Tim, nice to meet you.

I'm running the system on Avalanche and Audioline amps. I Know, I know, they're no-name and cheapo... but they work... and very well for that matter. I've had absolutely no broblems with them.

If anyone knows of any problems with these amps, let me know.

Thanks,
MARK.

hey i'm all for no name stuff.

my system at the moment is alpine HU, JVC fronts, alpine 6x9's on custom racks behind the back seats, clarion 12" on a 1000W US Turbo amp and i just bought two 2x75W amps to run the other speakers. they'll go in when i get it back from the mechanic next week (prob be the weekend after and i'll build my new 50L ported box and do the lot at once).
