Help me mod my AU

[12]

Got a couple for you Dan, what do you think of AUMAZIN and AUESOM (or AUWSOM, AUWSME)??

[dansedgli]

Sound good, Ill have an awesome list happening when I go in and change them at this rate.

[TheSneakiness]

Can you get 7 letters in your number plate? Doesn't that cost more?

[dansedgli]

nope only 6 here.

With the brakes you have, you will need to be looking at 18" rims, I would think, or do 17" wheels fit ?

[dansedgli]

Im hoping 17's fit, I still dont know. I havent had a chance to try.

Then there is the problem of finding decent rubber to suit wheels that will fit. Its a nightmare.

But thats what I get I suppose.

These are VERY cheap

19" Starcorp 'Challenge' wheels with new tyres for the extroadinary price of $1999. This package includes 4 genuine Starcop Racing 'Challenge' wheels in the shadow chrome finish, 4 new Nankang tyres and wheel nuts.
The wheels arrive with a full LIFETIME STRUCTUAL WARRANTY. Freight can be organised Australia wide for only $80 delivered to your door steps. Challenge Package will arrive pre-fitted and balanced.

If you want something impressive I reckon you cant go past remote start. Very useful for you also since you can warm the turbo up before you tear off too :

Thats a pretty good site, I think Ill be visiting there more often!

[LG]

Nice, those Impul Wheels, do look nice! Will 9.5's rub in the rear?

[dansedgli]

I dont know but the traction would be handy, I wonder what I can get for my Fury's?

I wonder if dropping down to 18's would be a bad move?

[Tornado]

mmmm Impul in white on my car, nice track rim I think.

[SWOOP]

paintwork = id look at color'd/pearl clears and some ghost flames
wheels = 20 x 10 intro billets on back and 18x8 on front

hang on! I wanna do it to mine

[TURBOTAXI]

You could try to make your car a replica of mine - If you want everyone to think you have had lots of accidents. and been in lots of hail storms? The mods are free you just need a hammer and some roadkill to throw. I am sure people will notice these mods. How about the plates - "STOCKR" - I love understatement.

[dansedgli]

I think I would be shot by members of this forum if I did that. :(

Anyway Ive already had a sleeper.

* Auto wind windows up.
* Remote Start
* Shave the outter door handles and get a remote door open alarm (legal?)
* New Job Paint and change rims.

I'm sure theres a top of the line alarm system which does some of the above.

These are some 'other ideas'.

[au-steve]

why not strip it, tub it, and see what she can run on 25psi?

[jonbays]

I have got it!

Put a BA GT startor button in it!

[Stav]

Dan if you want a car to spend money on I am glad to swap your car with mine!!! Heaps to do to it :dr_Evil:

[GK]

I reckon the bonnet vents would be good.

Also the power windows in the rear.

It looks great as it is, but different rims down the track perhaps.

I would love my wagon to look as good as yours already is.

Drive it, enjoy it, drive it, enjoy it! LOL

Cheers

cant believe you even want to replace the fury's, they look unreal imo. anyway if u wanna offload em ill, uh, offer you 1K

another thing i thought of, which totally comes down to personal taste is the good ol neon underlighting (fast & furious style). some people hate it but if pick the right colour looks good it can look wikid when u switch it on at the lights and turn a few heads.
i reckon with the dark blue duco you got a deep pink or magenta would look phat.

you could also bung on some light-up caps if your going for a ride through the city. of course they only have a limited battery span so you'd need to switch em with the reg ones only when u feel dazzley. not too bad if u keep em in the glovey i guess...heres what im talking about off ebay:

i dont know if you have XR mats in the car but heres a nice set too:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....e=STRK:MEWA:IT

i'd bid on em if i wasnt up to my nuts in debt after buying my AU....

another option as "useless" suggested would be to swap with mine and then you've only gotta spend $1squillion to get it the same :

[Tornado]

Those floor mats don't have the holes at the base to secure them to the floor, as for the other sugestions, I think thay are pure RICE and I would never ever do anythink like that to my car, but we're not talking about my car and you never know, Dan might like them :

[Axle-F]

mmmm rice

[dansedgli]

Ive already got nice car mats! Neons arent my thing.

Im picking up a new engine for my mini when I get the AU legal. Im going to attempt to fit a turbo, DOHC, EFI engine into the mini and get into the 13's.

[Tornado]

I think once you get the AU on the track, You would already be in the 13s bracket, but having a mini in the same bracket would be fun.

[dansedgli]

Im predicting high 12's from the au as it is now. My eb went 13.6 and this feels WAY faster!

[GlennBA]

-rear power windows
-different wheels (something fancier than ROH furies, they look boring and common no offence)
- Blade above your airbag, you should get it done in carbon fibre through modicoat to match your centre stack of your dash

I wouldn't put a BA starter button on it..
other than that i think it looks fantastic.

[LG]

I just though of something else... if you want to combine some more Carbon Fibre look into your interior, is to get your Auto Housing Surround, coated in Carbon Fibre. You can get a Raindrops type one from Ford... Cost ya $80-100 though. But get a custom carbon fibre look to match your center console. Could be a bit too much. I'm gonna have a go @ changing that driver's door handle surround to a stealth setup, when i get some free time. I'll let you know how i go, or even write an article about it.

[EFFalcon]

leave the exterior as is...
go inside stuf f

[dansedgli]

Im happy with the inside too though :( ( ;) )

That strip above the glove box looks a little out of place, I could match that to the centre console.

I was getting a lap top from a mate off the back of a truck but it might have fallen through. I can use the cash from that to get a nice carputer setup started for multimedia. Ill try and mould the screen into the dash and make it so it is removable but looks like its supposed to be there when it is in.

Sort of like a plug in style thing going over the head unit and bottom pocket.

Once its legal the first thing I will be buying is race tyres. The 19's cant hold traction to save its life.


I want to replace the fury's eventually, everyone has them. Even though they look good I wouldnt mind wheels that are different to every other car out there.
