IMO it looks hot on the yellow.. Was one of the first FTO's I saw and fell in love with..

Only you an the owner who did it.
I think it looks f**king horrible.

Despite the fact sucking for a long drive.
I do hope you put a factory stereo back in, simply for the looks.
I know Dwayne has a couple.

This is all what I'd do, so not telling you to do it.
But I'd try to factory option it out as much as possible.
Make it truly an FTO that in time will definitely be a gem and worth something.

My thoughts exactly

Factory radio with factory option cd changer, u can also buy factory speakers from amayama.

Does COTY come with factory tweeters etc?

I have the factory CD changer mounted in mine... In the centre console...

Yes if does...
factory speakers probably not as they are hidden so not really a big deal, same goes for things like brake pads and sway bar bushes etc...

I'm making a list anyway to give to Dwayne at some stage

Theres a centre console with the cd stacker/changer in it at panelhouse in Brisbane for $40!

Ive got the factory CD changer on the shelf in the shed. Also have factory stereo and speakers.

Put my name on the stereo and cd changer thanks!

Okay! she's home!

First impressions...

Good:
- Engine and gearbox work well, mechanically seems fine
- Hits MIVEC
- drives straight, steering is fine
- No accident damage that i can see (front is straight, no lost inner guards etc)
- Genuine K's
- 12 months rego
- 9,000ks till next service
- Near new tyres
- NO ROOF RUST!

Bad:
- Seat worn down to metal (typical)
- seat belt guides cracked (typical)
- Driving light switch likely burnt out (turns on park lights, Front and rear and number plate lights)
- slight scratch on front bumper
- some burnt out lights in the Aircon
- Maybe shocks... dunno, was on bumpy road, will need to check tomorrow.
- Front speakers blown (probably stock paper)
- Sunfaded rear seat (as usual)

To be fixed/replaced:
ASAP:
- Fog light switch(TBC)
- Air con lights
- Remove dimmer switch
- Replace rear parcel shelf (its not too bad as it is, but still!)
In the future:
- Replace/repad drivers seat bolster
- Return stereo back to stock
- Cambelt (doubt it was replaced at last service)
-Thermostat (just in case - car doesnt overheat though)
- waterpump (again, just in case)
- Shocks (?)

I read somewhere that the COTY model comes with rear strut brace from factory... mine hasnt got one and doesnt have the holes cut in the strut covers which would indicate it never had one...

Over all, Absolutely stoked! couldn't wipe the smile off my face!

could be wrong, but if the switch is dead, it shouldn't do anything, maybe no fog bulbs....

With the car off and the switch on, front park lights, rear lights and plate lights are on... I would have thought switch

Opinions?

Return stereo back to stock

Will have to see if they came with an audio in

Now begins the hunt for factory options...... 7 years later.....

The foglight switch does that on mine as well. I think it's normal and also a great idea

Lol... no its not normal... I have no driving lights, only parkers

Nah, I still reckon no bulbs in the driving lights.
The switch burns out on the input side or output side cant remember, so it shouldn't function at all.

Given you are getting all other lights, i'd say check the driving light globes.

2 screws to remove the cover and see if they are a:there, b:blown.
