Hey Guys,

140,000kms for $9,990, completely stock with 12 month extended warranty.

opinions???

Cheers

Looks sweet mate, some day pics would be even better! :)

$10k sounds pretty good for a 01 TJ Sports, thought these were usually still around the $12k mark?

Good work mate! Did you offload the Pulsar yet?

Daytime shots would be excellent... Can't see anything!

i need some night vision goggles apart from that though good buy!

Yeah the guy managed to do me a 4000 trade in which i was pretty happy with for the pulsar and yeah day time pics will be in soon, ill take them tomorrow morning.
Happy as hell with it, only thing that worries me is the frameless windows are leaking a bit, but im taking it up on wednesday night (warranty).
I LOVE IT!

Congrats dude looks good (from what we can see in the dark lol )

They should be able to adjust the windows a bit, one of mine had a huge opening in it when i first bought it and was just a plastic lug that broke off inside the door

So Far, I've planned to get (Probably in order):
1) 17's or 18's
2) Lows
3) Darkest Legal Tint
4) Stereo (Nice n Big)
5) (further down the track) Ralliart or VR-X kit
Im thinking Ralliart simply due to the fact itll be (afaik) the only green magna with a ralliart kit, but im more leaning towards the vr-x.

Let me know what everyone thinks, is there anything i can do to taillights
oh and i want white headlights too.

Sounds like a good plan, it is going to be a very neat machine!

just upgrade ur globes to phillips diamond vision or blue vision. And yes the blue vision comes out white not blue lol. Have fun changin the globes in ur paras :D

hey lenda, what arethose taillights, and how much are they? Tempted to get some, but i doubt theyd look good on mine...

ouch so can i actually chanage anything on this blasted machine!?!? (<-Vegeta from Dragonballz voice)

you could get carbon fibre tail lights. They look pritty good on your models, dont know about suiting your colour though. Have to see your car during the day!

anyone got ideas on costs for some of these:
Lowering (King or pedders lows)
Tinting (Darkest Legal)
Exhaust (Something Growly)
Headlights (Diamond/blue vision and installation)

Thanks Guys

go tinted taillights FTW!

they look so good on dark coloured cars.

cheers,
.wook

anyone got ideas on costs for some of these:
Lowering (King or pedders lows)
springs will be about $250 + install + alignment.


Tinting (Darkest Legal)
should be in the neighbourhood of $200 - $250.


Exhaust (Something Growly)
cat back system should be about $400 installed.


Headlights (Diamond/blue vision and installation)
go to Rice, err Auto Barn or Super Rice, err Super Cheap and pick up some bulbs when they have 25% sales. I got all of my bulbs (Narva +50 for para's) for about $80. you'll need 2 x H7s and 2 x H1s and parkers (if you want).


Thanks Guys

the globes in paras are a bit tricky to change coz uv gotta take out the water pump, and maybe the battery (depending on how small ur hands are) but im sure someone on here will giv ya a hand :) where abouts u situated?

Lowering 400, tinting 300, exhaust 150 for rear muffler only.

work in the city, live in stirling, yeah if anyone could lend a hand thatd be awesome, probably looking to do that in the next 2 weeks.

is that cost for parts and install piv?

Tail lights... KJ tail lights baby.
Headlights... Paras (**** light output but look sweet :) )
Lowerage, get some superlows all 'round
Large rims...

That should look pimp :)

all sounds good but the lowering, ill stick with lows, due to lots of speedbumps around my area.

uv already got paras in ur sports havent u? globes are like $130 for both high/low beam. Im on exam break for uni and im in duncraig i can giv ya a hand wit globes if u want, should take about 2 seconds

yeah man ive got stock parras atm, and boy do they suck!
thats why i want some good globes.
Do they give off more light? cos the parras give off bugger all!

ok, this is how i'd suggest:

Mods:
1 - Tinting (summers here, can get you tinted for $250, place in osb park, good warranty)
2 - 280 clear side indicators...while ur in ossy park, go to Paceway Mitsu, buy these, cheap and will look good
3 - Rims...nothing will change the look as good as some good rims
4 - lowering... as above, alters the look completely
5 - personal plates (if you want to)
6 - exhaust

afaik sports exhaust got the same muffler as vrx, so shouldnt be much need to change the muffler really. Anyways with an auto dont go too loud/cannon, or else the drone will kill you when cruising ;)

oh, and i forgot, throw a stereo in there somewhere (tho i remember thats high on ur priority atm :) )

otherwise looks good, congrats, took ya long enuff :P

1 - Tinting - definately, will probs do next weekend
2 - 380 clear side indicators...Didnt even consider this, how much???
3 - Rims... Hell yeah, looking for some nice 18s atm, probs from ian diffens/bob janes
4 - lowering... yup, Lows all round, not supers
5 - personal plates - checked availability even b4 i got the car, getting asap
6 - exhaust - not reeeely fussed but i may switch to a nice twin

Yeah and the stereo will be in next weekend, once i get paid!!
had a $120 win on the horses so that helps a bit
just a h/u, amp and splits for now, but subs and mono come later, when i can afford something reeeeeeely nice!
keep the comments rolling

is that cost for parts and install piv?

Yes I payed 400 for lowering, got a 150 written quote for rear muffler installed and same for tint.

Nice colour mate.

The 380 side indicators will cost you about $22.

So Far, I've planned to get (Probably in order):
1) 17's or 18's
2) Lows
3) Darkest Legal Tint
4) Stereo (Nice n Big)

Im thinking Ralliart simply due to the fact itll be (afaik) the only green magna with a ralliart kit, but im more leaning towards the vr-x.

Let me know what everyone thinks, is there anything i can do to taillights
oh and i want white headlights too.
nice car but hold back on mods its due for a gear box with them ks

How much is a new box?

How much is a new box?
i was only jokeing my th has 82000 on it and the box is dieing was told 2700 but will be putting 5spd in it for the same money

The 380 side indicators will cost you about $22.

yeah what he said, check for the part number in the part numbers thread :)


i was only jokeing my th has 82000 on it and the box is dieing

ouch!! hows the car been treated tho?

i drive it hard but still should be fine with them ks

anyone got ideas on costs for some of these:
Headlights (Diamond/blue vision and installation)

Can't remember the exact costs, but to replace all the headlight globes + the foggies (Philips Bluevision everywhere, cept for the High Beams which I wanted the Vision Plus globes for) was going to cost me $160 from Autobarn. Cept my mate works there so he said he'd do them for $110 :D


Nice car mate, good to see you finally have a Magna lol I reckon you did pretty good for $10k. Now get modding!

In addition to what everyone else has said, I'd get the pin stripe removed too :D

yeah forgot about that, is it as simple as peeling or should i heat it or sumthin???

Edit: Oh and I just found a set of 2 clear 380 indicators, 11.40 each, how do i fit them, is it simple pop off pop on or more complicated?
Cheers!

they just pop off, unclip the wiring on the back, clip in the new indicator wiring and pop back on. takes about 1 minute, if that, for each side.

thanks man
and the stripes arent gna leave any nasty residue???

Yeah just push towards the front of the car as the clip is on that side then pull outwards.
Easy as
