Hey folks,
probably should have done this when I joined up, but hey to all of you from Brisbane! My name is Linkin and I recently got myself a 99 VR4.
When I first got the car a few months ago, the breaks were spongy as the car had been sitting for a year or so, and I had to replace them to get my road worthy.
It took some time to clean up the car, as the previous owner had painted the wheels in fluro green, and the clear coat on the roof was starting to fade. I eventually plastidipped the roof matt black. I find it more forgiving and easier to use than spray paint. (Sorry for the limited pictures, I haven't had too much time other than looking
after my little man, who btw loves the sound of the turbo spooling up
I'm still getting used to parking in major shopping centres and entering the driveway as the front bumper sits so low haha. Most of the time I spend cruising like an old grandma as the car is still quite thirsty. From what I've been told, I'll need to have a look at the injectors for possible leaks and replace the O2 sensor.
I haven't done anything recently yet other than spraying the rims black and reinstalling the stock filter box and snorkel (Thank you Herbs and Gridly). I hope to properly clean her up eventually and respray all the chipped and cracked paint
Enjoy EKKA tomorrow folks, and see you guys on the road!
Cheers,
Linkin.
