Re: My first car
Update time!
so i bought another car from sahin and have used it to scavenge some stuff, mainly the suspension as mine were way to hard and one was blown, picked it up the wrong way and it separated and awesome smelling goo came out Im also torn between stock spoiler or the VS one that came with sahins car, its just a little too big i think :S its almost ready for a roadworthy just the small roof rust and unfortunately i noticed the radiator is leaking on the top near the pipe. is there anyway to test if its radiator and not just the hose? and if it is the radiator can i swap a auto radiator into a manual car? Ill get some pics of it tomorrow after i fix the roof rust.

Re: My first car
Yeah u can swap the auto one straight in... If its cracked and leaking then piss it right off. Put the spare in and check hoses.
Because nothing is faster than a p plater in a commodore.....
except maybe a p plater on a unicorn

Re: My first car
it had a couple of spots of rust when i got it, but i ground them out then primed and painted. unfortunately as i have never done any painting before i did too many layers, now there are 2 raised circles on the front of the roof. will have the sand them down then re-paint, but im lazy.

But damn she's looking goooooooooooood.
Can always just test out the VS wing. Only a couple of bolts holding the stock one in I'm pretty sure, surprising sometimes, it could really suit it.
Keen to hear a detailed run down of everything, you must be so happy.

Re: My first car
Would just swap the whole boot over, the VS one is likely to have an adhesive on it as well as screws.c3rbera wrote:Heh.Chebus wrote:had these on my iPhone 5 (great phone by the way *nudge nudge*)

Re: My first car
I just find the VS to be wayyyy too big and draws too much attention.

also with the stock spoiler, it has adhesive on it as well and leaves a pretty ugly stain depending on the car
