oh so thats what an original TRX radio looks like. Mine was different. My mums 92 ford festiva radio (which is sitting on the garage floor) is exactly the same. And yes the sercurity coding is F*cking stupid these days. Thats 1 of the reasons i took it out.

I've seen 5 different 'original' decks in Pintaras/corsairs/TRX's. I think they chucked in whatever they wanted at the time.

I've seen about 6 different models of car with the same style radio as the TRX. Skyline, Pintara, Laser, Festiva... I think they were one of the cheaper OEM radios around at the time.

hey that looks decent!

its giving me ideas that if i get a new dash, center console and the trim around the steering wheel that I might give it a paint job too! (there are some parts where it bolts up and stuff is broken so it doesnt seem to hold on well and movie a bit)

If i get new panels or turn my corsair into a pintara front end conversion (more likely as pintara parts are more common) its gonna need a paint job on the outside anyway, and white craps me off on the outside so hrmm!

but great job anyway dude! looks pretty decent in the photos :D
lmao we could see you in autosalon next year if you get all done up nicely :P

It would look good from outside. The white of the colour of ur car with the white of the dash would look quite good. If stuff matches........

Didn't you know it doubles your power to the rear wheels, Chad?  ::)

It is looking alot better with more white, but you definitely need to do the rest of the dash. I reckon do the gauge surround white, and then the bit with your air-con vents silver or a bright colour... don't forget to clear-coat the silver.

Check out the interior section of the FSM.

To get that bit out you need to pull off the bit you've already painted white, then undo all the screws along the bottom of the black section, the ones below the 'hood' of the dash (look directly above the steering column), then flip your steering wheel down as low as it will go and pull the top of the black bit out first. I find the easiest way to get it out is to stick my fingers in the screw holes up the top and pull. It's a bit tough to get out the first couple of times but once you get the hang of it it's a piece of cake.

All the Executive and GLi Pintaras came without a clock there, and yes, it is just a filler plate thingy. The vent section is exactly the same whether you have a clock or not. I put the clock out of my Corsair in my Pintara a week after I got it. All the wiring for the clock is already there too.

Waldo, I'd scan you the pages out of the user's manual for how to set the clock, but I don't have a working scanner.
Here's what the manual says:
With the radio off, press the 'CLK' button and, at the same time turn the radio on.
Release the clock button. the clock will be displayed with the minute digits flashing.
use the up and down button to adjust the minutes display.
press the 'clk' button to switch between minutes and hours.
turn off the radio when you're done and the seconds will reset to 00 and the clock will start normal operation.
There is a small 'P' to the right of the display to signify PM

yeah i dare-say spotlight would sell the white vinyl. a handful of ppl here have retimmed their doors and what-not, and most of them say that it takes a bit of effort, but essentially not that hard.

perhaps try searching for other ppl here that hav done this or search under "retrim"

That'd look great, especially on a white car. How do you plan to hold the bottom edge of the vynil down?
