Bonnet scoop? foreal?!

I think an off centre slot liiiiiike, in a TD Patrol or something (but a lot more streamlined) would look alright, but is POINTLESS because there is no top-mount or filter for it.

BA falcon bonnet buldge would look friggen killa:)

Subaru Liberty Turbo. :D

...flaired gards...How, What made from, etc. More info please.
My rims/tyres stick out by about 3-5mm on the front - always looking for ideas.

...I think an off centre slot liiiiiike, in a TD Patrol or something (but a lot more streamlined) would look alright...That's my plan (one day). Not from a Patrol tho.

Some sort of front lip, CCFL rear number plate light, smoothed boot garnish (Thanks TUFFTR for the last two ideas!)

heheh no worries mate

can i get you on the fluffy dice bandwagon too?

and Puck, my wheels actully poke IN by that amoutn, its pretty gay, having them stick out makes the car look phatter

That's my plan (one day). Not from a Patrol tho.

I think i'm thinkin of a RAV4 bonnet scoop. Not an eyesore but gives you that 'extra mean' look.

http://toyota20032004.free.fr/images/japon/toyota/2003_rav4_3p_4.jpg

mmm ba bonnet bulge. have to see a photo shop.

as for my mods:
ball joints on monday
just got cat back exhaust last week
rpw k&N pod filter kit the oval one
port and polish head maybe with cam.
LSD for gods sake. i cant stop spinning them hoops

some performance mods so i can keep up with my mates th manual.

also forgot to add have got a set of twin pots sitting ready to go on

Aftter getting my nugget back on the road and running again.. its Brembos all round and a Very BIG TURBO..:P

Always wanted a supercharger but everyone has them now..:(

The only type of bulge that would work on a 2nd gen magna would be one off an old jag or something similar, it wouldnt look right with such a square bulge like a BA's.

To give a short version of my list:

v6 TT conversion
bodykit off a lexus moulded to fit
interior done orange and black
suspension, lowered...
car painted metallic black
garnish colour coded..
and way more

Install my gauges, paint my rear calipers red, get some slotted and paint them gold...umm.....get my front bar painted

As soon as I find some decent bumper bars to replace my mangled ones I'll be getting it lowered and then that will be all for me till I sell to buy a TF sports.:D

Well It's looking like the TR's gonna need new piston rings as I'm 95% sure it's got a bit of blow by :(. Oil's getting dirty quick, a bit of blue smoke and I doubt it's the valve seals as they were new about a year ago.

I've spent too much repairing this thing to flog it off so I'm gonna fix it. So full rebuild for me, but with a twist :). Gonna rebulid it making sure that it can handle boost with the aim of turboing it around chrissy time(ie holidays). So it'll be a re-bore, new pistons, ARP head bolts, new rings etc. Also while it's apart I figure I may as well have a go at a DIY head job(lol) and have a crack at some porting. Possibly even have the tranny rebuilt as well, to make sure it'll handle the torque increase.

Also does anyone know if the aussie astrons have the oils squirters that the Starions came out with? If not I think I'll try to source some of those as well.

extractors and high flow exhaust

didn't we all.. My list has gone from about that big too..

filling the tank.
New tires one day.

lol hahaha, thats totally what mine went from as well, lol, ive got mine about more or less how its ever gonna get, maybe a new exhaust or ported and polished heads... But a new front bar might just complete the look!

Cheers,
Adz

Next mods will be:


A nice lowering (want it to be as low as AJ's :thumbsup:)

Next mods...

Panel Filter
CAI
Central Lock and Alarm
Touching up some spots where I have tagged near keyhole when fumbling in dark with key :P

- Colour-contrast the bumpers (side strips now done)

In the "maybe" pile:
- pneumatic suspension, failing that, a minor lower
- minor bodykit, but probably won't get around to it.

Just got the latest mod done today..got the resonator taken out my exhaust :D
still has the same sound under 2000rpm but now has a bit more "sound" after that

dunno if i like it or not but yeah its pretty loud.
getting a new cat tomorrow too..since it hasnt been changed in 220xxx chances are somethings wrong

You getting a high flow or just normal cat Tuff???

Normal cat...not like im pushing 1000kw
and after all the things ive heard from numerous people saying that a high flow makes no difference anyway (and besides the fact that are they ridiculously expensive) ill just stick with a normal one.

my new mod is a ****load of dust havent driven her in 3 weeks :s may be selling no time for her!!

']Normal cat...not like im pushing 1000kw

HAHAHAHAHA

lol fag

Chains, gaskets and seals for me lol
otherwise im done unless i feel the sudden urge to modify, or if someone can convince me:)

imma getting pretty pissed off with the car.
still leaking oil.
Serioulsy considering a DOHC swap.
Just need some money, and some luck as so far me and engines do not mix.

me and exhausts dont mix. tried to fix exhaust with muffler putty. didnt work. got cat back done but they missed on some of the welds. they fixed one today but the other it still leaks. then tonight went through and checked other welds theres 2 more as well as the one that didnt take properly.:rant: :rant:

depends... i noticed gains... the stock cat is 2" and was the smallest part of my zorst, therefore a restriction. with flow, only as good as your weakest link

Also mine would be pushing out a bit more gases

Holdens are crap. You'll spend more time walking around because the stupid holden will be in the shop getting repaired all the time.

My latest mod was to pull the after market floor mat out that was blocking the accelerator pedal. Easy power increase! Man the v6 does have power .. lol :nuts:

i had the same thing happen to me! ghey floor mats

If that happened to the brake pedal you could be in trouble!

lol thats a bit biased... dad's very heavy statesman with the ls1 goes hard and has only had 1 major service for about 1500$ no real problems... did cut out before the service around sharp corners... pretty safe :S

I cant tell if my car is faster than it yet, as when im home i usually drive mum's patrol (free fuel) and by the time im in the statesman i forget how my car goes... dad's drive pretty hard too, he's very impatient

I'm not sure if you guys already know about this mod, but I had a TR Elite a LONG time ago, and noticed that it had factory provisions for brake lights in the centre garnish panel.
All I did was splice the wiring to the normal brake lights, wired in the new ones, and fitted globes in the centre garnish panel (they even click into place!)

Looked a million times nicer on the road... :D

Anybody know if the 3rd gen steering wheels fit the 2nd gens???

Anybody know if the 3rd gen steering wheels fit the 2nd gens???


yeah they do...M4DDOG fitted one to his TR and made it look fantastic.

Anybody know if the 3rd gen steering wheels fit the 2nd gens???
I've got one I'm modding before installing.
They fit, BUT... the horn won't work. The contact ring for the horn is larger, spaced out further. BUT, I have figured out how to modify so it WILL work... bugger it, was going to keep it a secret 'til I got it done so I was the first...:rant:

If you pull out the contact ring from a 2nd-gen wheel, on the 3rd-gen wheel you will see that it is moulded so that it will almost take two rings, the larger 3rd-gen one, and the 2nd-gen one is almost an exact fit, needs some minor modification to either the plastic or the brass ring. Get this installed properly, and you'll have full use of the horn.

As that particular feline has been let out of it's confinement, I guess I may as well give away my other (if I can pull it off) mod, which is to incorporate a large chrome tri-diamond into the pad, ala the latest mitsu's. Will take some very accurate cutting to do properly, and probably some reduction in logo thickness so it sits flush (the pad rubber is a few mm's thick)

I'm so doing that before you, just to piss you off. :)

I will be placing the perspex windows into the rear pillar covers
and having the blue CCFL's in there :) (fronts are done already)

I ordered a custom spoiler from MADDOG, being painted/fitted soon. Followed by some maximum % tint.

Then maybe some VR-X side skirts, followed by a exhaust kit.
