oh my god... that was SO bad:( worst of all the burnouts were done by my friend AND during the middle of winter when the grass wouldnt grow! AHhhhhh!

oh well, its recovered well:)

i cant believe how nice it is driving around with a sunroof. the sun beams in, as does the fresh air. im extremely lucky to have found a car with a sunroof. i never thought id end up with one.

the front chin and sideskirts are also a bonus. the only slight dilema with these is that in places they are slightly coming away from the car. how should i fix this? maybe some really good double sided tape? ive noticed that double sided tape has already been used in places to hold both the side skirts and front chin in place.

thanks again for all your comments. all u guys are starting to feel like family:D

ta.

Hey Nice one Greedy!

Greedy there is nothing better than at 5pm cruising past scarborough and take the coastal cruise with the sunroof open and the windows down..... now that is living! oh by the way... please don't stick your head out the sunroof at 140km/h down the mitchell freeway......it kinda hurts:uh-huh:

All the best to you and your ride..... have to check it out on the next cruise!

Shutup! Showoffs!

I searched for 6months trying to find a seriesII with a sunroof!! 6 MONTHS!! DAM YOU PEOPLE!

in the end I gave up! and YES, i rejected some VERY nice seriesII's (or just missed out on some, e.g DISCR33T's car) in looking for a sunroof!

cant wear a helmet in a car with a sunroof when ur over 6 foot

That's what I heard! I'm 6'3, so that was one reason. Also I just personally don't like the look of them, especially when they're closed. But that's all personal opinion.

Here she is :D

oops phil i forgot to say how awesome your car looks. looks as though its in great condition aswell.  

congrats on the purchase :)

Likewise! Even if you do have a sunroof :D.

You do have sideskirts though, lucky bastard! I'm getting them fitted while waiting for my plate to arrive. Can't believe they were an option.

very nice phil is that out the front of ultimate peformance imports in moorabbin?

Btw, anyone who is thinking of importing or compliancing, definately check out Ultimate Performance Imports. They go the extra mile and really worked to get me what I wanted (see above pic!). It's rare these days that you get good service, so I always reward it when it happens.

It should be on the road next week! Woohoo! :burnout:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
