My new car!!

[Timmy G]

Hey guys,

I have finally purchased the car I want. I will be taking delivery of it on Dec 3rd.

So far I only have auction pictures:

The only difference from those pictures are the wheels and the exhaust (returned to stock).

The only problem is that the front Nismo chin spoiler has been cracked (about 1-2cm if I recall). But I took in on a drive and it was sweet (I have never driven a GST-T, but this one was really smooth).

Many thanks to all those out there who offered me pics and info about their cars for sale, good luck in selling them.

I'll be posting pics when I take delivery

Cheers,

Tim

why no wheels or exhaust?? did u not want them or something?

EDIT**

almost forgot

NICE ONE TIMMAH!!

Well I wanted a stock car and he said he'd reduce the price for it. If I do anything to the car I want to have done it, I didn't want someone elses modded car.

I could have taken the exhaust and wheels and flogged them, but then I'd have to find stock ones, not worth the hassle.

*EDIT oh and that ugly ass radio antenae in the auction photos is gone! The exhaust was nice though, too bad it will be returned to stock (I'm not going to bother renegotiating to get it thrown in).

Well done Tim!!! I know the feeling the first time you jump into a GTSt!

Glad you finally found your S2... and it's got a SUNROOF! now i'm jealous!

about those rims... if my eyes arent playing tricks on me, they're Silver Volks rights ? PIMP!

Nice work! post up some specs on the car too dude!

Looks nice.. where/who'd you get it off?

[DLuded]

Thanks for the congrats Strich9ine! I'm happy! I am getting the stock wheels I could have gotten it as-is and tried to flog the wheels, but then I'd need to source stock wheels/exhaust. I really wanted a stock car and he was willing to drop $1000 off the price (even if he's getting a better deal by keeping the nice kit - I save money I can't afford ).

And I bought it from North Shore Prestige in Manly Vale NSW. It was a long and windy road with a couple of hiccups along the way but everything turned out okay.

The sunroof is pretty cool, one thing is that it doesn't go back ALL the way due to the size of the roof. It's factory fitted, but still 2-3" of the glass top doesn't go into the roof. But still cool!

One thing I did see though.. I lifted the spare wheel felt cover and looked at the chasis. On the left, above the exhaust (but inside the boot) there is a join between 2 panels. On the right hand side there isn't. Furthermore, there isn't rust in this join, but kind of like rusty water (no water.. but it kind of looks like if you painted a water based rust colour onto it).

I don't know how alarming it is, I don't want to be soured by this small thing (provided it is small). Probably should get the NRMA to inspect it? I get a 3 month statuatory wty plus an extended 3 year wty, will that cover these sorts of problems if they become serious? The metal itself didn't look rusted.. just a bit of rusty residue on top.
