Pretty......
firstly...do those buttons on the steering wheel do anything?
and secondly....what size wheels are they? What kind of price did they set you back cause they look rather nice, and also how far is that car lowered?

Hahahahah gosh even since i've put that steering wheel on, everyone ask me is it NOS!! I had a Momo Jacky Stuart before, & every ask me what it was as well. Anyway I like that steering wheel (Momo Tornedo) before Fast & The Furious came out! They just normal horn button!

The wheels are 17 x 7, it cost me $1600 from Japan as second hand, & it was only 2mths old. If u going 2 get it from Aus, it will set u back around $800 per rims plus tyres. So I don't think anyone else going 2 get a $4000 wheels 4 their car atm.

The car is lowed by 1 1/2" & is adjustable as well. I've got a better pic of that, but it was taken before I had the seat & fog light done. hmmmm maybe i should upload it 2 then.

hey nice ride! :wink:
what exhaust do u have fitted atm? looks like an Apex'i N1 - are they?

and where did u get your interior dash panels sprayed? how much did that cost you? i'm looking at doing the same - if it's too expensive i might consider carbonfibre film instead... :oops:

i'm getting my website sorted out atm, so hopefully it will be up with pics of my FTO as well...

Yeah is a genuine Apex'i N1 cat back exhaust system, & i sprayed the interior dash panel myself, just get a can from any auto paint shop! Cost me 10 bucks, 3 layer of paint in 48hrs!! Simple!!

I've also sprayed the door handle cover 2! (hmmmm i think thats what u call them)

nice.... was it hard to take the panels off to paint?

atm i'm kinda tossed if i should retrim the interior into light tan/cream suede or just retrim the seats in red velour (with grey inserts by the shoulder bolsters)

i'd like to have some light tan/cream suede with silver panels (like the Porsche), but how much is this gonna cost??

The panel took me 2mins max 2 take it off, is very easy! U just have 2 be carefull thats all! I've done this to all the jap import car I had so far, so i got use 2 it!

Yeah the Porsches style interior should look great! U going 4 the GT3 look? or the normal 911 look??

errr... aren't they're both the same?? :oops:
...i can't remember which porsche series but it has light tan suede with silver door handles, vents, dash etc... i'm currently looking for a Momo Combat gearknob but they don't come in light tan suede... bugga! looks like i might have to change the trim on the gearknob as well LOL! :x

The GT3 had a brush silver at the centre all the way! But the normall 911 only got the gear level bit brush silver! Hmmm thats what i remember, I check 2day, few colleage of mine got Porsches so i just check theirs! ehehehe

Dude, you should photoshop your license plate off your pictures . . .

The pictures are in the public place where all undesirables hang out, there have been cases in Victoria where someone has put their details of their car and pics without taking off/editing out the license plates and their car has been stolen . . .

Sad and sorry world but you've got to protect yourself =)

yeah i know, i did that with my old pic, but not the new one! Well the car is under 24hrs surveillance, so is kinda ok, but i will take the plate out as soon as i got time!
