Guessed it!! But gotta give it to Adjacent on that though.

Cheers, i love the interior as well, so nice and comfy. Central locking is on the driver's door already, but isn't working for some reason and also window switch going up isn't but down is for the passenger side. Probably loose somewhere when the compliance people ripped off the trim to check inside.

I'm thinking of using CCF and some dynamat to dead the doors, they seem awfully light, should be good when i order the stuff. Going to drop it off at a garage soon and see if he can fix the leak and change the water pump while the engine is still in. Fingers crossed.

AE92 doors take well to Dynamat. Mine loved it and theyre definitely wayyyyy more solid now. You can see pics of my doors in my ride thread. :)

Cupholders are awesome! :D I want some!! :D haha

UPDATE:

Failed to get rego twice now, but car is running sweet! Love that 1.6l 4AGE!!!

Need to install child restraints, new brake lines (braided or not, still deciding) are to be fitted and rear head rests to be found which i'm having no luck at the moment.

Pics up soon of the new wheels fitted. :D

UPDATE:

Well finally got rego this week so hooray for that!

Here's the only good pic that turned out well, will try and take a couple more when i get around to them.

Currently on are 14" gunmetal takumi rims, wished they were 15s though, but 14" semi-slicks are a bit cheaper so win for me there.

Next thing to do is tidy up interior and get the stereo working again, wiring up speakers and etc. also fixed the alarm.

Then once i saved enough for shocks and springs, will install the swaybars and the bushes.

Won't be soon though, too much work time and less car time recently, but will try to do things slowly. :)

Cheers dude, yeah, really enjoying the FX alot, but still got alot of things to patch up to be show-ready. Working waaay too much for the past few months so not much has changed (still haven't even got the air-cond regassed yet! :/)

But hopefully, once i get a weekend to myself, then i'll be putting some effort into the little car.

Bought the Rims second-hand locally, so don't know where the previous owner got the set from, they had near new tyres on them, so got them for $400ish, can't remember exactly now. Hope this helps. I think the closest you might get is Work rewinds from ozzy, might be more, but it'll be hard to find any 4x100 watanabe's (try toymods maybe)

Cheers.

Ummm, no.

The guy i sold my old ae92 to had my plates still, and then he sold it to his mate and bought a CRX, and then i went and took those plates back and they are back to the rightful owner. lol

Only if you had a Trueno, i would buy it, that's what i want next

Wouldn't have minded a Trueno either, even more WTF sort of car is that?

Need something bigger, looking at a few things at the moment, Legnum/Chaser

Really want a chaser, hard to find one I want though

LOL, Legnum? Chasers are becoming like Skylines here now, everyone wants one, but cant find a decent 'manual' one anywhere.

How about a Caldina? GT-FOUR running gear and you'll be able to get in the shits with Adam on it, lol. Dunno about sourcing one of them.

Oh, haaha, yeh, he bought a crx and sold that ae90 off to his mate, i got the plates off him (originally mine anyway)

Cheers, still nothing special done, actually having steering problems (knocking noises at the moment) so its resting for now.

Still waiting to get a reply for new bumpers and then save up for a nice coat of paint!

From afar, it's looking closer to track-spec, and i LOVE it!

Thanks Justin for the tail-lights. Bad lighting and it was a rush camera-phone job, try and get a couple more pics when i wash the car, its been raining for the last couple of nights, so not worth it.
