07 Black Barina

[Troy]

OK, here it is! Modifications so far are:
White and teal double V (vinyl sticker) on bonnet (Port Adelaide FC guernsey design)
Sports exhaust from cat-back
17" Auscar wheels
205/40/17 tires
K&N Cone Filter
Vortex (HiClone, TurboFan)
Debadged BARINA from back
Blue neon lights inside driver and passenger
Peddars lowered springs (lowered 1.5" front and back)
Audi style LED daytime driving lights (though soon to be changed to TK Barina LED driving lights)
Black LED Tail Lights






Still under consideration:
New audio system
Extractors (called headers in USA???)
Body kit
Changing double V from vinyl sticker to having it painted on.

All comments and suggestions welcome! As I mentioned in my introduction thread, I'm new to modifying a car, and still very much clueless on majority of mechanical side of things. So will be good to learn from guys with experience here.

Thanks people! Hope you like my ride!

Make sure that your air filter isn't putting any pressure on your AC line, if it is, the AC line may burst *apparently*.

Right on that, after having my CAI filter rubbing on to the aluminum A/C line for almost 2 years it made a tiny hole in it and did a quick fix with JB Weld instead replacing the whole line.

I actually just removed my hot air intake, butt dyno says that the stock airbox without the silly resonator is better than the hot air intake, ear dyno says it sounds less epic

My new tail lights turned up today at my mothers place (had them sent to her coz I knew she'd be home where as I'd be at work lol) so going there tomorrow afternoon to install my new lights. Will post pictures once I'm home tomorrow arvo/night!

Too bad the halo headlights won't fit Wanted to get them, but because of the headlight unit being a different size from the American Aveo, won't happen. Pfft.

Well, after all the excitement of my new tail lights finally arriving, put them on, and guess what, they won't pop in. For 2 reasons.

1. The pop in bits are too big. So took the ones out of the old tail lights, and the screw piece for those is too fat for the new one.

2. Were the plug goes in for the parker light, it's too big and won't let the rest of the unit go in properly, because that part comes out further than the original tail lights.

Well I MacGyvered the body where the tail lights sit, and the new lights are on! Will posts photo's later! Must say it looks so much better with the new lights!

Maybe I should "Joey mod" my headlights too??

Here we go!

Also removed the resonator from the intake today.
