Happy New Year and thanks for the update, but blimey you got a lot done in the space of a day,

You put us all to shame :Giggle

looking good for a bitchin pimpin mobile, wow never seen Rotors in the failed motor that rusted seems the water seals failed on it for a long period of time.
The new motor looks sweet

Those look very cool - how much did they set you back? Where do you plan to mount them?

:wave

sim_rx3 · January 20, 2009, 01:56:06 AM

hi mate,

$1400AUS to my door.

but the features and alarms and data logging it runs are worth it IMO

was thinking ander the tv in the original stereo possition.

or do an overhead console and put them around the sun visor area. this way there not as vissible to theives as well..

Brett · January 20, 2009, 11:56:43 AM

That would be cool - do an overhead unit like the Rx4....

sim_rx3 · January 23, 2009, 12:42:27 AM

i know

thats why i thought of doing it

:cool

also should this thread be here??

or should it be in Cosmo and other rotary powered vehicles??

Brett · January 23, 2009, 08:09:36 AM

I can move it over if you like?

sim_rx3 · January 27, 2009, 04:06:50 AM

yes thanks..

it doesnt have chrome bumpers so not really "oldschool" IMO

cheers

Brett · January 27, 2009, 09:30:11 AM
