Climate control aircon rake... thats what the Ti's have, not just the A/C on off button.

I remember chucky wanted to fit the cruise off a Ti to his Ghia once, i think he figured it was too hard and didn't bother.

Rake · « **Reply #31 on:** Sep 6, 2004, 09:27PM »

Hmm, I wonder why. The cars are 99% the same, it can't be overly difficult I would imagine?

I'd really like to find a wrecked Ti/TRX with everything still pretty much intact, and then steal everything off that.

But I think thats for another thread

Back on topic, is there anywhere else I can buy popout / saab style cupholders that anyone knows of? Incase Holden don't sell them / overpriced or whatnot.

I'm a picky bugger, sorry

what about getting tech and making ur centre console near the handbrake into a esky

keep ur drink cold and its big enough to hold a slurpee cup

Rake · « **Reply #33 on:** Sep 6, 2004, 10:05PM »

Naah, the position isn't practical for drinks

Either way I have a little peltier fridge which'll keep 6 cans cold for cruises

Also installed a second ciggerette socket so I can power two things at once!

Colzie · « **Reply #34 on:** Sep 6, 2004, 10:48PM »

turn the glove box into a fridge!

Rake · « **Reply #35 on:** Sep 6, 2004, 10:56PM »

Dude, no.

I've just intalled a new centre console out of an audi, it's got pop out cup holders and a cd compartment!! I'll get some pics up at some stage.

Actually, the TRX didn't have electric windows, cruise control or electric aerial.

Series 2 has power mirrors... But I think they had to be careful on the weight thing because they added the weight of the kit. *shrugs* I know there is a weight difference, cant remember it off the top of my head.

But yeah... I been thinking about stealing cruise control off a Ti for mine *lol* I need it to avoid speeding fines.

trxmad · « **Reply #44 on:** Oct 4, 2004, 07:01PM »

katie have you investigated the price of that?

Rake · « **Reply #45 on:** Oct 4, 2004, 08:24PM »

Corsair Ghia has power mirrors and windows.

Things I'd like to take from a Ti or TRX:

- Limited Slip Diff
- The better airconditioning control, perhaps
- Cruise Control
- Foglights + Front bar
- Electrical Arial

Hmm, can't think of much else for now but thats all for a diffrent thread anyway.

Budgie's HNU12 has factory cupholders in place of the empty thing below the headunit slot is! Arg .. must steal. Maybe I can get it as a part from somewhere?

In the meantime, I have discovered that a Maccas cup tray squeezes in very comfortably into that empty slot, and it seems to hold cups quite firmly. Even though they are more shallow than what I originally thought would be suitable, and made of cardboard too, haha! Still looking for a better, mroe pernament solution though.

noss · « **Reply #46 on:** Oct 4, 2004, 08:46PM »

trx doesnt have climate control, doesnt have cruise control and doesnt hae electric aerial. the models that have an electric aerial dont have their aerials iin the same location as the manual arials (a pillar) the electric ones are located on the rear quarter panel.

Rake · « **Reply #47 on:** Oct 4, 2004, 08:49PM »

My antenna is busted anyway. So I want to fix that up.

The Pintara Ti is actually looking like a better car to get things from, as the TRX seems to lack all of these things .. But to my understanding, all of those things - power mirrors, windows, arial, cruise control etc could be optioned into the TRX? Hmm.

noss · « **Reply #48 on:** Oct 4, 2004, 08:55PM »

i think they could be but never were. check the brochures that budgie uploaded in the faq section.. i think he has an article in the tech section too.

Rake · « **Reply #49 on:** Oct 4, 2004, 09:10PM »

yeah, I looked through the brochure before, hence why I said what I did

.. I wouldn't say that those things were never optioned into the TRX, its just a matter of finding a TRX where the first owner has had the things installed.

Milford · « **Reply #50 on:** Oct 4, 2004, 09:34PM »

yeah they decided to leave cool stuff out of the TRX

KatieSmurf · « **Reply #51 on:** Oct 4, 2004, 11:27PM »

*shrugs* I'm happy with my aerial, air con, fog lights etc... I'd like cruise control but I'm not annoyed that dad didn't get it as an option... I dont think he was offered a choice. But whatever.

As for cost, I did investigate the cost of the unit from a wrecker a while back but lost that notebook. I'll call up and find out. *lol* I know that we sell cruise control and power windows and stuff at work, but dunno how much they would be to get installed. I'll get prices tomorrow on units.

Budgie · « **Reply #52 on:** Oct 4, 2004, 11:30PM »

Cruise was not an option on the Ti, nor was power windows. Both were standard Ti equiptment and thats it.

A sunroof was an option though

Rake · « **Reply #53 on:** Oct 4, 2004, 11:52PM »

Where you work Katie? Will be interested in prices etc.

There was the Ti at the wrecker. I stole the cruise control button, but thats all so far :p something like that might be more difficult to take out though so it might not be something that's easily taken like, heh, a button

Anyway I've started a much more general thread of my car in the projects forum: http://www.antrx.com/smf/index.php?topic=5376.0

KatieSmurf · « **Reply #54 on:** Oct 5, 2004, 12:07AM »

I work at supercheap... and before you snort in derision, we can order anything in. It's just a matter of price.

Speaking of which, we do sell cupholders *lol* they hook into your air con vents.

Rake · « **Reply #55 on:** Oct 5, 2004, 12:13AM »

I ain't got nothing against supercheap, they're quite handy for stuff

Don't like or trust those .. I don't know, they just don't seem like they'd be able to stop a litre of slurpee from ending up all over my pants and interior.

The cruise control you order in, is that like, genuine nissan u12 stuff or what?

KatieSmurf · « **Reply #56 on:** Oct 5, 2004, 12:15AM »

No, that's like... generic cruise control kit. i guess i could see if we can get stuff from nissan but i doubt they'd still have any.

ring a couple of wreckers or even a place like all-jap and ask their prices. I've gotten some good info by ringing around like 6 different places and asking.

Rake · « **Reply #57 on:** Oct 5, 2004, 12:19AM »

I know the Ti at the nearby wrecker has cruise control. As long as someone else already hasn't, I could take it. Problem is, I don't know how it works or anything, how to remove it from the Ti nor install it into my car... Might see if theres anything in the factory service manual

KatieSmurf · « **Reply #58 on:** Oct 5, 2004, 06:58PM »

Generic super cheap cruise control kit is $199.00 - But I have no idea how much it'd be to get installed (or how hard) or even if it'd fit. Just pulled out a price today, will look into it more if you want me to. *shrugs*

Rake · « **Reply #59 on:** Oct 5, 2004, 07:05PM »

Nah, it's cool - Thanks anyway

I feel $200 could be better spent though, and it's not money I have. I won't bother unless I can get a proper one methinks, as I've outlined theres plenty of other things I'd like to get from a Ti/TRX, mightaswell just do it all at once.
