First Car...Pintara TRX
« on: May 1, 2007, 06:30PM »
Hey guys just joined the site and currently discussing buying a Pintara TRX manual for first car. What do you reccommend as first upgrade(s) to make it look and sound like a beast. THanks! my friends will drool in envy!!!

welcome to the forums mate, this should really be another section, but anyway.

it depends on how much you want to spend,

if you want it to look good, the first thing i would do is lower it and take the rear spoiler off (trust us, it looks unreal) then a nice set of wheels to match the style of the car (ie not chrome dolce's)

to sound good ? lol, well id prefer it to go better :P, what you can do is maybe
invest in a 2.5 catback with a decent muffler (cannons will make a fart noise if not turbo)
you can get some extractors and just have engine noise heh
cold air intake (give it a strong roar on WOT)
stage 3 chip to make it go better

where you from ?

Make sure its running 100% first mate... fuel economy is right, etc etc

But I will assume you've done that before you start spending money on mods.

lowered, rims and a 2.5" cat back will be cheap'ish and will look good and sound good (even though I think the KA24E sounds a big weird :P)

Remember, I sit behind a KA24E for 650km a week :P  It does sound funny at higher rpm's....

his turbo car ONLY makes 88kw

:P... track time soon.  Dyno readings hate AWD U12's.  Refer to bluebird.co.nz for further reading chris.

possibly paintjob as its white and i need some colour in my life.

White goes nicely with some dark tints, dark gunmetal rims... maybe clear front indicators.

Agreed chris, refer to pics of noss' car for ideas.  But just change the rims (not that the white buddy-clubs don't look trick ;))
