thanks
it is very clean inside and out
but i need new pads as the brakes are terrible
prob throw some slotted rotors on also
will also have to check lhs strut as theres a bit of shock noise
other than that i am pleased with car
we would have preferred a mivec but couldnt find one with low k's
planning to do cai and exhaust soon as brakes are sorted
cheers

If it is really an Aero then it is mivec. What you have is a limited edition Version R (Top of the line sports edition FTO). I have one and I know of maybe one or 2 others in Australia.

Welcome to the club and hope you enjoy the car.

    Aero GX interesting, I have never seen one before :? .
    as said before it is very clean, great pickup :thumright: .

    could you post up the full vin number so we can check it up for you?
    it can tell you when it came off the factory line and what it came with (options) and so on.
