I'm from Sydney
My ride is MY99 Gen 3 RX 2.5 Manual, Green Mica colour.
I bought it off a work colleague, with about 170k on the clock, for next to nothing, a few years back and it wasn't in the best shape at all. I believe it was in a big front-ender at some point, as the driver's side front end seems to sit a little lower then the rest of the car.
I cleaned it up the best I could, but it still needs a fair bit of attention ... I think the Green is bad luck
It attracts idiots hah.The first week I got it:
- Fixed some wiring
- Removed the spoiler, as it was held on by masking tape
- Replaced the back seats and cleaned up the interior majorly
- Major 200k service done, with belt, pulley's and water pump.
Mods it came with:
- Extractors, hi-flow cat and an X-force cannon
- New KYB shocks and king springs (though I swear they're not the right ones, as it sits higher then stock)
- Crappy aftermarket sound system
- Converted to LPG (I know, I know.. but at $35 for a full tank, I couldn't complain, being an apprentice mechanic and now a broke uni student. It's overall not that bad, only time you really notice it is with aircon on in summer.)
- Python alarm upgrade kit
Mods I've done:
- Protex slotted front discs, Bendix Ultimate pad's all round
- 18" rims
- Replaced the entire sound system with Kenwood Headunit, JL Audio Splits (front and rear), JL Audio 4 Channel Amp, JL Audio 12" Sub, JL Audio Monoblock Amp
- Dynamat boot
- De-spoilered
- K&N Panel Filter
- LED's in dome light, map light and reversing lights
- A few tasteful stickers, courtesy of my friends
- Green on white number plate
Mods to come:
- Optima yellow-top, relocated to the boot.
- Strut brace
- Different grill
- HID kit or JDM Headlights
- Momo steering wheel
- Garnish, tail lights and side indicators tinted
- Leather interior and/or STi buckets
- LPG tune to 108 octane and switched to Liquid injection, from the current Vapour injection
- Nolathane bush kit
- New rear muffler, as I'm not keen on cannon's
Mods I'd like, but will probably end up buying a new car instead:
- Big big brake upgrade
- Supercharger + Tune
- JDM body kit
- Boot/Spoiler fixed
- All dents and scratches fixed and a possible respray
All-in-all, nowhere as immaculate as some of the beasts on here.. but, I'm slowly working my way there!
