So, what plans do you have for your AU in 2010?

[Dauphin]

1. Repair some damage.
2. Get Rimskins (if they will fit). Hoping to give them a slight dished look as they are gunmetal grey.
3. Find it some AU LWB friends at our meets.
4. Service it later in the year.
5. Am considering swaybar(s).

Getting a TS50

Fixed it :-)

[cedric]

for my au3 xr8 sedan ,remanufactured leather interior of ebay (anyone know the quality),for my au2 xr8 ute lower 1" all round and paint focus orange or silver and if i sell my t-bucket project i might get another xr8 and go the whole hog as a hot rod ,black with flames, on its guts, debadged ,and a bonnet scoop of some description

[private9]

A wash and possibly even a service.

[sneaky]

as above.

wash it from time to time, and service (get someone else to service) when it is due.

i'd like to retint rear windscreen, but won't get around to it. and i'd like a new sticker for the rear windscreen - jetpilot sticker is dying

[grandpa_spec_F6]

so it looks like we'll be loosing a few of our au brethren to newer model cars :(

as for me, I've finally got it sitting on super lows in the rear and lows in the front, just need to get the windows tinted and some extractors to compliment the 2 1/2" 'zhorst and i'll be happy

[Ride]

My plans:

Interior - Already partially completed, only a few pieces left of woodgrain to get rid of and have mod-coated
Exhaust - Its criminal with a single 2.5" pipe behind the stroker
Swaybars - Spent a on the Koni's and Eibach's yet stock Ghia sways :/
Paint - Start taking care of the paintwork a bit more, wash and clean properly.

The far-fetched plans would be a supercharger, set of track rims with wider rears + semi slicks, set of alloy heads and a cam swap.

Well as the owner of quite possibly the oldest AU ever, i suppose you are in a position to comment.
also i'm surprised no-one has flamed me yet over my ancient comment yet, perhaps everyone just knows its true.

There"s a thought AU 1 to AU3 is a upgrade. Au anything to B is a side step : now I runs of to find Flame suit :SaiyanSmi

No no, true enough question. If i wrote off my AUII right now, i think yes i may replace it with an AUIII 'mont, but i'm not going to change whilst my AUII is fine. If i say had a window winder'd, no height adjust on the seatbelt dirty AU1, then an AUIII would be a nice upgrade, but not over an AUII it isn't.

And one of the reasons i've stuck with my AUII is personally, and like RG, i see the B-series as possibly a backwards step if not at least only a side step. They are just far too plain.

Now if only the FGs'd drop in price a little...

[XR6_4EVA]

Hmm....2010 plans...Fix everything I planned to fix in 2009.

[ebxr82nv]

couple of other little bits of mischife
break the 200 rwkw barrier and laugh at those who said it couldnt be done

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

Well... I dont know..

I hope to have the turbo back on and running again..

I hope to have a shed built to do this in, so I guess that effects the AU =D

[lotus]

Since my "baby" is just over 10yrs old and done about 255klms, there are a few things I have planned to do this year.
1. Uprgade front brakes to 330mm (back brakes later) and suspension
2. Fit leather interior from ser11 fairmont ghia
3. Fix bracket that holds pedal box under dash (spot welds cracked)
4. Fit T3 heads,crow cam and timing chain,Trickflow manifold.

Have all of this sitting in the shed, just have to get time to put it all on!

[XR8GRL]
