Falken_KE30 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) has k crossmember, so i think anyway. looks to be standard. Ahhk, so anyone have a good grill and lights to trade?, 4AGE id like, but i just want it on the road by end of year. EDIT, pics lol Edited May 12, 2008 by Falken_KE30 Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Posted May 12, 2008 hey Si, do you know if those tinted windows are legal?..they look a bit dark. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 I reckon thats why it has a passenger side mirror! Being Nick's car, i highly doubt it would be illegal, maybe very close too, but not over the line!! :D Quote
Taz_Rx Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 Just stumpled across a pic of the grill that used to be on it..... Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Posted May 12, 2008 yeah i think it looks so much better (sorry nick) with the round ones. Should be a straight swap yeah?, or does the mounting brakets have to be changed? Quote
Taz_Rx Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 The square ones have extra mounting brackets that bolt to the rounds ones holes. I've got some round headlights and a grill, but not that one. Its an early 55 grill. Come round one day and have a look. :D Quote
HEKTIC Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 that is why it got defected i think? (the tinted windows) and huge LOL at nicks cars not being defectable, are we forgetting this originally had a non engineered 20v silvertop swap? or that he had a 3.8ltr v6 in this car and the red thing for f@cks sake! yeah well offer stands my grille is the same as what was on it I'm pretty sure $10 or something of interest if you want it Quote
Murd 55 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 yeah my tint is darkest legal and i don't think its close to as dark as this. but then again depends on the light on how dark the tint appears. Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Its pretty dark, ill try to pass rego with it on, if not ill have to remove the tint. Hows that done anyway? EDIT, googled it, looks like a pain in the a$$ to remove tint!! Edited May 12, 2008 by Falken_KE30 Quote

Falken_KE30 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Posted May 15, 2008 Started, havent finished. will finish off and primer tommorow maybe Quote
NickZ Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 The reason i was pulled up was i did a little wheelie, but he defected it originaly for the harnesses (SEAT BELTS), Well is wasnt even a defect, it was a safety check for them, but then by the time the third cop came over the thought he had better just check for oil leaks, thats when i poped the bonnet and he looked and said it all looked ok, then one of the other smart assed cop said "isnt that a commodore engine" DOH, But it still wasnt defected, he just said that better be checked at the safety check. Looking good dan Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) ahhh good to know, Never you new you had the V6 in this car? Edit, Also i didnt realise the Ass end had no Shocks in it!!! i asumed it did cause its so stiff. guess thats what 7 leafs a pack do lol Edited May 15, 2008 by Falken_KE30 Quote
