do KL count?
being that TL is the base for KL?

i love my car - its all standard apart from the tunes
Alpine CDA4100R headunit
DVA-5210 dvd reader thingy
and 6stacker MP3 thingo

still running the stock speakers

I love my verada - its the best car that i have ever owned and never want to give it up.
AWD is always a bonus and often lotsa fun too.

i love the interior - i think its better over the prev 3rd gen interior, but the exterior of like a KJ looks much better IMO

I just wish that mine had the leather interior - but the cloth/suede whatever it is, is still very very nice.

I've got a 2004 TL ES. I made the step up from a 1992 KR Verada, and it's definetely worth it.

It's never given me trouble, and it's the most refined and agile car I've driven.

So far -

16" KE Verada Alloys
K&N Panel Filter
Barry's Kits
22mm Adjustable Rear Sway
Front Strut Tower Brace
380 Front Brake Conversion
DBA 4000 Slotted Rotors
KH Verada Leather Shifter

and as bentattoo said, plenty more to come.

Does a TW count? I always liked the TL/TW front end. Since day one I thought that this shape had potential if it was lowered on some decent wheels. I originally wanted a 5spd manual but couldn't find one anywhere. On a spur of the moment decision I picked up an LS AWD for about the same money as an ES, very happy with it.

Have flowed my TB, very happy with that

Tried various CAI setups but didn't like losing bottom end torque with all that weight and driveline loss, so stock snorkel is back on.

intake resonator is off only because I like the sound, feels stronger down low after doing this and fuel economy improved slightly but there must be some other variables involved somewhere.

Waiting for a reply from Barry on the kits.

:D

Bargain car.

do KL count?

No one likes a show off :)

Mine has 17" Wheels (seen in avatar), lowered springs and ummm slightly darker than legal tint.

Kept the engine stock cause it's got a fair bit of poke standard.

I'll take some pictures next time it's clean and post em up.

This thread was for TL'S....but i think that

Its not that i hate them its just that the idea
was to keep it tight.:D

I have a TL LS '04 model. Stock standard except for a towbar. Even has the stock 15" Mitsu mag. wheels. Tiptronic auto.
Purchased it with 80K on it - now has 100K. No troubles at all except the battery died last week - probably the original one which has expired.
It does the job for me as a daily driver. Generally satisfied with it as far as reliability and driveability. I sometimes get a bit miffed about the larger than normal turning circle in car parks though.

Baby jesus will cry if you don't!

03 TL ES.
bought it off my old man about 5 months ago.
would of loved a manual, and the vrx model, but eh. what ya gonna do.

came lowered with 16's which my brother slammed into a kerb and had to be replaced.

so far
pod filter with custom CAI
barrys mods
straight through exhaust (needs replacing)

would love to do more, but i just don't have the money.

Mines a KL Verada...its VIN number states that its sequnce number 27 (Jul 03)...I assume that makes it the twenty seventh TL/KL to roll of the line.

It just so happens that 27 is one of my favourite numbers, as this was the F1 Ferrari number that one of my favourite drivers ( Gilles Villineuve) drove, before being killed. But thats another story...

Mine is all stock except for Whiteline strut brace, and rear adjustable way bar...and the blue interior leds.

my 2003 TL has given me no probs so far.

I have given it a feed of LPG too and it loves that as well!!

Looking for brake options now as the rotors have gone undersize....

But i love the beast...:D

Options:

Parnell LPG
Tinted
16" TW Alloy rims
JVC DVD
Reverse Cam
Clarion Spks
Pioneer Sub
Directed Amp
Parrot Bluetooth car kit
RDA rotors and pads

04 TL, leather, tailored mats, Phillips globes, K&N, tint, Pioneer HU, UHF, er592z bridgestones; no real dramas but looks like swaybar bushes will need replacing by 40k.

04 TL, leather,K&N, tint, Pioneer HU, UHF, new tyres tomorrow; no real dramas but looks like swaybar bushes will need replacing by 40k.

Anymore pics of in side and around the car?:)

83000Klms since new.

Rear parking sensors, Motorola HF850 Bluetooth Kit and inside/outside temp display. Tinted windows, Garmin c320 Sat Nav and 1500Kg tow bar. Phillips blue bulbs in driving lights.

Otherwise standard.

Great car to drive.

should've got
mudflaps

should've got
mudflaps

its an AWD... its needs more mud!!!!
well at least you have taken it to where its made to go...
unlike half the Toorak tractors (luxury 4WD) we have in melbourne... damm thing spends more time being detailed than seeing mud...

should've got
mudflaps
You can get ones for the back but not for the front.
About $80 - 100 from mitsubishi.
They said to me that nun of the ones that they
can get will fit the front.
They dont look great but stops some stones and mudlol

should've got
mudflaps

have you looked at my avatar!?
saphire verada... at the end of the road trip, it was a lovely 2tone colour... well... if you count the nose and the inner edge of the bootlid - oh and part of the roof resembling the clean saphire colour!!! lol

last post/reply... i got muuuuuch dirtier than that by the end of the trip (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54308&page=2)

at least your colour, kinda hides the dirt/mud a lot better than.. WHITE! lol

My TL ES, only thing I have done so far is lower it.

Looking to put some bigger wheels on it and would love to get a VRX front bar, otherwise I will try and put in a VRX nose grille, foggies and mayber VR grille for the slot at the bottom of the front bar.

if you want the VRX grille then your gonna need the bumper too
the bumper is completely different to the standard one
but the fog lights and VR grille should fit

Hi all,
Newbie to the AMC and being a Magna owner :D . I have a 2005 TW VRX AWD in Sapphire blue. Pretty stock standard at the moment, have personalized plates, custom floor mats and reversing sensors. Future mods are baby capsule and sat nav, and what ever the boss allows.:)

Noice one. You know it isn't just a baby seat, bags, pram in the boot, plus mother in law if you're real lucky! Enjoy!

See the sig!

If your like me and think that the TL'S
look great and you have one let us all know about it
and what you have done to it:D

mines a black (or "sable".. hehe) vrx too... pretty much the evil atmo clone of your car :P

bought it about 2 months ago with 27,000ks for $20k.

bone stock atm except i hav thrown in a dvd head unit

planned mods so far are lowering and 18s + a pod filter... apart from that, pretty happy with the car. love the exhaust note!

I have just installed a vrx front bar onto my TL ES and it looks fantastic but it sits pretty low. I have 16" wheels on at the moment if i upgrade to 17's would it lift the height of my car any? I know it depends on the rubber they wrap the wheels in so what can i ask for? I have standard lowered my car on King springs if that helps.

Also do any of you guys with the vrx front bar who have lowered your car scratch the underside of the bar often?

Mate mines not lowered and it's showing white through on the bottom where it hangs down both sides.
Need to keep the same diameter when you go to 17's though

bentattoo is your car VRX42? i think was sold from Jack Caseys new.

My new VRX front bar on my TL ES Magna

saab-33, lookin good:cool:

My new VRX front bar on my TL ES Magna

It really toughens the car right up; especially with the body coloured grilles.

The Sprintex grille mod also looks quite hot -

http://www.sprintex.com.au/Supercharged_Magna_VRX_AWD_Photo_Gallery.asp

Yeah, it really changes the look of the front end. Hope to be getting driving lights and wheels in the next month. Wheels will make a big difference also to the overall presentation.

Love this vrx front though.:D

I think it looks tuff without the foglights, like an air intake. Slimline front plate is the go

<-----------I upgraded to a TW when "the wagon" was written off.
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l232/Sair_Bear_1980/016-5.jpg

Love the car, keeping it pretty simple on the exterior. Probly do some audio in the boot and maybe tinker with the engine a lil bit ;)

I gots meself a 2003 TL Sept. Build

I LOVE IT. It's pretty stock atm, but i've de-badged it. Hoping to chuck some king spring under it soon. I look after it as if it was a $500,000 Mercdes.

Here's how she looked when I washed her the otherday.

Where'd you get it man? and how much, i'm looking at one for mine. Can't find ANYwhere :(

Im also in the TL club :).........for a few more weeks anyway, get my new SS Commodore in a couple weeks.

Got an 04 TL ES

Pretty much bog standard, put a new Kenwood Head unit in it, replaced the speakers and tinted the windows. But im a bit of a car lover so it gets treated very well! cleaned and polished every couple weeks.......crazy but it looks great!

Absolutely love driving it on long trips very comfortable and very capable and has the power when you need it. On the longer trips, the car cruises very nicely at 140 kph (that i would know :redface: )

Thing that pisses me off is the fact people think Magna's are for old people! especially those morons in their VY/VZ. Magna's have a ****load of features that cars today don't even have, sequential gear shift, electric seats, climate control, MASSIVE boot and a well built car and just as powerful as the commodores and fords of the time.

Think my biggest regret is the colour, gold isn't a great colour to play with and put spoilers, mags etc on it.

Ahhh gonna be sad to see it go :(

i have to agree. Gold is hard to colour coordinate with.

im borderlining selling mine this year to get an 05 tw vrx awd manual if i can find one.
will see what happens with my career and what not. will prob take a year to find one.

The awd are not manual all auto, buy mine :D

i've got a 05 vrx manual. only mods to date are kings superlows/lows & i have removef the front resonator from the zorst. also fitted toyo proxes h4 tyres, rear map lights & front footwell lights. other than that she is stocko with 37,500k on the clock. cause i have a work ute she does'nt get driven much, have only clocked up 7000k since june 07. i do love my car but we are thinking bout selling, i just don't know if i could part with her.

The awd are not manual all auto, buy mine :D

really. im sure i remember test driving a manual awd :S
maybe it wasn't awd..

really. im sure i remember test driving a manual awd :S
maybe it wasn't awd..

....i'm sure it wasn't. :badgrin:

Unless i can be proven wrong i am 99.999% sure that they where all auto's (well at least the mass production ones ). I think the use the same gearbox as the EVO 7 GTA.... don't quote me on that one tho.....

my rajah! yes i know it needs lowering its a work in progress as funds become available :)
