Got my TRX Today EDITED WITH PICS
« on: Jul 7, 2005, 11:59PM »
Hey Yall,

Newish to the forum and just wanted to tell u that i just picked up my new pintara TRX 91' series 2.

Its in quite bad condition body wise, not that there is any dints just that its in need of TLC. The engine is abit cold having not been driven in 4 weeks and the car is in desprete need of a service which i will probably get tomorrow. This car runs so well, How could anyone pay it out.

the gear ratio's are perfect, and the car is as quite as someone who is really quite.

Will have pics tomorrow, I have them here but i cant find the camera cord.

Will update this thread more tomorrow, currently installing my car system!

Update Day 1:

Today i did shitloads on the car,

1. Wax'd half of it. Looks a new shade of red. Oh and for some reason my boot and spoiler are more pink than red? another weird thing.

2. Changed Spark Plugs. Put good 1's in.

3. Put a "DRIFT" pod on oh and drift is the brand. Yes i laughed at it 2 because evey Commodor own knows that pod filters make ur car go sideways. This is still only 50% because i still have the bottem of the original air filter box in it.

4.Changed Oil to high proformace oil.

5. (biggest) Installed Stereo, sub and amp. This is working fully but not fully set up. But sounds "fully sick" Got it up to 126DB. Just bought new speakers for it at the sound off so they will be put in tomorrow as well as another amp to power them.

And thats it for today. Tomorrow i am working but will still do stuff. Pics as soon as i get my friend to upload them!

Week 1:

1. Fixed air filter and completly removed the old 1.

2. Finished Stereo Insallation.

3. Wax'd and Polished the car all over twice.

4. Fixed Brake light.

Pics:

The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so f**king temperamental.

Looks like it's in good condition body wise, although it sort of looks like the passenger side rear door is a lighter shade of red???

As KA-Bluey said, could you please resize the pictures in future, if you have to put up huge pictures for some reason just post up a link to view the picture in another page/tab.  Also if your able to - crop the picture so the car takes up most of the image.  It makes them alot easier to look at :)

Sorry about the size, dint no much about resizing pictures.

Will edit and post and put links in.

As for the colours of my car. You should see it. It has like 4 different reds on it. For some reason it was resprayed then left out in the sun. So the boot is pinkish and the rest of the car is a darker red. As for the door, yeah it looks abit more red in that photo but that was b4 it was clean'd and wax'd so now the difference is less noticeable.

Have a look at Ryan's car and you'll see what different red paintwork is all about :P

Homer!  What have you done to the car?  I don't think it had broken axles before.

Before!  Before!  You're living in the past, Marge.  Quit living in the past.

What, I never said I didn't like it asshat! :P

At least I don't think I did... but if I did, then I'm the asshat.

Thanx, Since u saw it i fixed up the boot and all the wiring to the amps and shit so it looks neater. Looks like its gona be a while till i can fix everything because of the money problem.

I will have to make a list of all the shit i can do without money so i can get started on them but mainly i need some1 who knows what they are doing to tune the ECM cuz the car is eatting petrol atm. Going thru 20$ a day.

If any1 on the GC could help me that would be greatly loved

TRX's don't come with tuneable ECU's mate, if you want a better tune get in contact with Noss about a chip.

Looks good, although i prefer the full factory spoiler so it bends all the way down to the edges of the boot. Still looks good. though.   Most red trx's are a bit faded so dont feel like yours is the only one.

So do i just that that spoiler was on it when i got the car. It wasnt put on properly and it rattles. It looks ok but not as good as the stock 1. I plan to get a new 1 soon, as i get money.
