Hii there, i just got my silver gpx for about 3 weeks. It has 178k kms on it.

Had some headaches on the tappets and A/C, but all fixed by now. (well, hope it is ><)
Spent a big $$ to fix/service it,
engine oil + atf flush = 400
adjust tappets = 300
spark plugs = 120
A/C evaporator + regas = 600

It's stock all round except the spoiler and wheels.
I plan to do some works on the air intake as currently it has 3A pod sits just beside the engine, sucking hot air. I don't have the original pipe/box comes with it.

nice car phunky, you have the wing that i admire

as for your intake, you can do something to extend it if its too hard to box + front cold air pipe it as it is now, but other than that, nice car

oh, +howevermuch to the reflectors

Better earlier then later, right?.. .
I'm in Mt Gravatt but am always in Coorparoo due to work / drive through the city as i'm my friends taxi most of the time ahha. So now if you see a black FTO I think there's a high chance it could be me.
