We have decided to upgrade from the $99 one too a $400 one which I'm not too happy about but I seem to have no choice.

The one we are getting has a scanner in it too so that might come in handy. I just didn't wanna have the arial sticking off the roof and the radio sitting just anywhere in the car.

I think it makes it look untidy. But oh well :)

OR you could be like us and have TWO FOR SOME STUPID REASON!!

But we might have two cars soon.. so the scanner/uhf will stay in my car and the handheld in the mini :)

But also we could have it on the scanner while talking on the dicky smith special!!

Nismogirl, this may sound like a stupid question but am I to assume the scanner/uhf combo model you have allows you to listen to crap eg. Police, Emeregency, GRN, etc ?

If this is the case then this is the model I will get also as it will be good to have a scanner around for activities such as the Peats Ridge playground ....

I was thinking exactly the same thing....:confused:

It is.. But you can't listen the UHF and the scanner at the one time. Its basically got 60 channels. 40 for normal UHF and the other 20 are being programmed for police on sunny coast/gold coast/brisbane. Not sure about other emergency services though. Not that you really need to worry about ambulance and fire pulling you over and taking your car off you!!

The price that we have got ours for is $440 programmed. They are usually around $479 mark (RRP) but we are getting it cheaper through a friend of a friend (plus its gonna be programmed which costs $$ too) Its a GME TX4400 i think. Its a DIN size so it can still go in the dash.

There the info. Looks pretty swarve. AND to cater for my needs (cause i dont want a dirty big ugly arial sticking off the side of the car) we are gonna get a glass mount one like the coppers have. I think it will look better than off the roof or the front quarters.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
