So..... Still have no idea how to use the forum :/ been sitting here looking, trying to suss it out for the last 2hours (not joking).... so im posting this and i actually have no idea where its going to end up,BUT, i have a few things to say/ask?
theres a few things i'm looking for
- alternator (mivec - if it makes a difference)
- post facelift front bar

Advice on things?
- new head unit, (brands etc)
- neons (w/ switchs) too douchey or would look sick?
- tow strap

- alternator (mivec - if it makes a difference) ask dstocks
- post facelift front bar ask dstocks

Advice on things?
- new head unit, (brands etc) Alpine, Kenwood
- neons (w/ switchs) too douchey or would look sick? Gayer than aids.
- tow strap - For all the track work that you'll never do? Stupidest P plater mod ever.. if its a track car then sure, but I get the feeling it isn't haha.

I'd recommend using a Nexus 7 2013 tablet in the dash.

Just put a regular head unit in like a regular person

Nah, tablet FTW.

it has a 'regular' head unit i want something with gps and such


also, why is "the lorax" so famous on here??

Just get a nice double din unit then.

We know of all the nice cars on here. That was one of Dwayne's cars so we all know it.

Nah, get a tablet, gives you all the features of a head unit + more. Is also more responsive and cheaper. Got my Nexus 7 for $120 off Gumtree.

Tablet also looks better than a head unit.

i was going to unwrap him and go black & white but when the hype started i was like 'uhhh there is no chance im ruining this icon" so now i need to re wrap the roof (it needed it anyway) and im going black bonnet and getting custom LOR44X plates in orange and black.... Dwayne is apperntly super keen to see one of his babies again ahah

also, bonfire, how do i find whose driving from sydney to go with?

ill have a look at the nexus cheerss Vectose

Yeah we all love Dwayne (dstocks) 'cause he's our parts guy and all round helpful bloke. I bought my first FTO off him also back in 2013. He's also produced the best body kit pieces available for the FTO, though he hasn't make a straight facelift yet, you can get one of his Facelift Factory Ts bars which is based on it. It is lower overall though, so can make getting over steep inclines a bit tricky.

Otherwise stock facelift bars pop up occasionally, but not very often. There is a mob that make them, but I don't know if anyone has ever purchased one from them to see if they're quality or not.

I somehow don't think a lower front bar will be an issue, I'm already so low I scraped when I was pulled onto the flatbed Lol

What do his factory TS bars look like ?

This is the Facelift TS as fitted to one of mine.



And here's the Prefacelift TS. Which is moulded to suit the prefacelift indicator/foglight combo so you don't have to source the facelift ones.



But yeah, from memory I think Dwayne said they're about 12-14cms lower than a standard facelift bar. They're also fibreglass, so they do crack if you smack them on something. Best looking bars for the FTO though, and the fit is superb because they've moulded off a stock bar.

And here's dstocks car, with a set of modified skirts that also has available.

Yep, Have an alternator and can get a prefacelift or facelift TS Factory made if you want. It will end up lower than the stock bar though and there will be a small wait as I have a couple in the queue atm.

I put LEDs in the footwells. You can only see them from the inside and it comes with a switch ofc. Whether or not you should get it is entirely up to you. Personally I like it because it brightens up the interior of the car at night. I'm going to do the same to my Evo.
