Clown Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 Contemplated a "big win" or "hipposleek" kit, with some mad dished rims, but thought smegit, its my daily and i want it as much of a sleeper as possible, so the stock kit and the soarer rims will stay for the time being. Getting a kit would make me want to spray the whole car. While I'm working at a supermarket, i don't like my chances of the car staying straight. I had the car for less then a week before some moron drove into it and drove off without leaving a note. roladude: getting one cheap is kinda hard. I was in the right place at the right time to get mine. It's almost worth importing a jzx90 insted, but then again you don't get the sleeper factor. Quote
Clown Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 Was eyeing off these though! Oh anyone know if ma70/jza70 seats came in the light brown colour? Quote

Clown Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 Yeah they're not the cheapest of cars. I stumbled apon mine and went and checked it out the next day. Quote
roladude Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 i think for the $8000 price tag if it has mags, cruise control and aircond i would be very happy tho the one i seen didnt have the 1jz in it :P i think it was the 7mge can't remember exactly how much did you pick yours up for. :cool: Quote
Clown Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 Paid around 5k for it. So far i've put an alarm in it, and get a road worthy cert and transfered it into my name. For the money i've spent on it so far I'm verry verrry happy with the car :P Quote
7shades Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 Welcome to the JZ club... I recently joined myself :P 5k is awesome... my 2c: leave it externally stock (maybe some nicer rims) trick the auto, pimp the interior a bit, and just cruuuuuise :cool: Quote
Clown Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Posted July 13, 2008 Thats the plan so far. I'll start with boost controller and dvd player. Then eventually i'll put in my amps/sub i have sitting in the garage, then probably some Focal splits etc. I'm still getting weird looks as i walk away while the car's still running, and strange looks for having an alarm on a cressida :( Two people have actually commented on the car still running too!

Clown Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Posted July 13, 2008 grabbed my "Blitz" air filter from home and my dent puller. The standard air box panel filter needs to be replaced so i'll just use the blitz unit till i get around to getting a new one. Gotta pay for insurance tomorrow after work. Also just remembered that i have a turbosmart fuel cut defender installed! Quote
Clown Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Posted July 14, 2008 Just gave the car and the wheels a wash. I must have still had some soap on the wheels, as i left the carwash she was a little sideways! Car looks good, unfortunately i don't know where the digicam is at the moment :( Bout to head out and give the interior a bit of a clean. Quote
marvis Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 Sideways ftw. Needs neg + poke and stretch :( But as you said shes a daily... Quote
Clown Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Posted July 15, 2008 Went shopping day. 3k later, paid for 2 lots of insurance, mechanic and my dvd player for the cressy. WOOOT! Quote
