nice wagon seems to be in good nick. how many klm has it done?
You might want to take the heat sheild of the factory headers cos every magna i have seen with them get cracks between the pipes . personlly i think they keep to much heat in the headers and over time it cracks and it looks cleaner without it:D
Just food for thought cos i haven't found one with cracks that has had the sheild removed.
Oh and your in the right section seeing as u have a 1st gen magna.
reminds me of soggs car minus the turbo cyclone motor.

you have done as much as you can on that wagon
what is needed are
the extractors/ blue injectors/roller rocker conversion.to finish it off
If you are near brisbane I can help out with any mechanical dramas you come across

Ditto... Both my magnas don't have cracked pipes under the shield.

was that car on ebay at all, cause i looks very similar to the one that was on there
Lookin good, needs lowering a little :P
There's all sorts of mods you can do, elante kit maybe, or upgrade the seats (love my new seats).
Think I've seen this car on ebay or something before aswell. :shock:

Yeah, the airbox hose splitting is quite common too. I found giving it a light coat of WD40 (And I mean LIGHT!) keeps it supple, so it doesn't split.

If you want better seats grab some out of a SE,Elite,elante. they had extra support (more foam cushon) hieght adjustment.
The kit is off an elante sedan so you'll need to do a custom rear bumper cos the elante one won't fit but the side skirts and front lips will work perfect.
Just getting hard to find them in any condition.
these are a few pics for ya. coulpe elante ones, soggs red wagon mmm turbo oh and the heat shield removed:D

dam uve got good luck . took me over a year to get all the bits and im still customing them a bit, plus fixing them cos they were all damaged:rant:
I've had the same problem, finding lots of broken kit parts. I've only recently started to finish off the kit, none of my kit parts started off as white :P
Not sure what im going to be doing with the rear on mine, the sedan bumper is a different shape, and also the wagon is longer.
For seats out of an upper class first gen I've posted pics in my topic about my car here, have a look around in that thread if you want ideas.

i wouldn't know who used to own it ...............
I dunno where everybody got Sogg from, and I couldn't remember what happened to Tele. Still, his was a good car, so you've got a good buy if it's still as he had it.
