just thought i might chuck my car up. I bought it about 4 mnths ago, found it on the side of the rd for sale, only had 150kms on the clock, n was driven by an elderly person, it's in mint condition, without a mark on it.... im either planning to modify it a bit, and get some real speed out of it, or just sell it in a while, n make a bit of a profit from the sale..... tell me what you guys think........

i have installed a 2.5 inch exhaust,including a 3inch chrome dumpy...... looks good compared to the stock pipe. It also has a nice tone, not too loud

found the rims at a specialist store, cheap, so i grabbed up quick

i have a leather autotechnica steering wheel.... i saw this at autobarn, and knew it was for my car.... suits it perfectly... i have also added a chrome autotechnica gear knob, looks good compared to the original plastic crappy thing

The car looks nice. Good clean looking car. Needs to be lowered a tad....

Need to go for a cruise....
There's a semi big one this weekend. An MCCR organised thing. Whatcha reckon??

haha yeah i knw, im up there with all the 4wd's, im planning to get some rims, so il be lowering it then........

cruise sounds good, wat day is it? where bouts did they say their meeting up?

car looks neat as man.... got a good starting point there bro, personally having own one myself, i reckon you should try modifiying it up a little.... simple upgrade like pod, boost and exhaust will make a huge difference... top end on these things arent too bad with those mods....

Looks pretty standard but time and money is something that there is possibly very little like the rest of us at the moment. Would look nice with rims, lowered and a bit of a body kit set up on it. Would look good with some bonnet fins but thats my thoughts on em...

hows that crazy boost gauge going??? No probs with it???

ur ride looks insane man, those rims suit it perfectly. you should tint the rear (tail lights and panel inbetween). ive got the 88 model - same body shape - and i tinted the rear with this spray i got from a hardware store, and it looks heaps better. there's a pic of it on my page. my advice is keep it and get some speed outta it. with the right mod's the TX's can go qik as. keep up the good work man

It is looking good now. I still think you should spray the tail lights with that translucent candy apple red....Now that would look great.
I'll be getting rims soon, I'll let you know when I do. I had the bushes done, and the outcome is absolutly awesome....

looks good man... it's amazing how much better a car can look with a decent set of rims.. i scored mine for $400 too

I think i may have that same autotechnica steering wheel, will post a pic of it soon, just like rims amazing how it can change the look of the interior

hey man. i have spent way to much cash on it but 2 of me mates got the same car and i dont wanna be out down you know what i mean so when they get somthing i get 1 better ha ha,and hell yeah were all up 4 a cruze ne time.Im in brisbane where you at.

hey EVL, would you be interested in sellin me your stock rims, the 15's if you still have them? because i realised that im not going to have enough money for the sorta 17's i want, for a long time because of my crappy job situation. plz get back to me, thanks d00d

Hey EVL;
think i just saw those rims for sale on tradingpost, what size are they? what tyres you running? ive got an 88 tx5 ghia, n those rims look real nice. cheers.

here's a photo of the rims for sale

hey you really have a good car here, i think the TX5 looks mad. I have been looking to find one for myself, because im getting my p's soon. U say ur thinking of selling it, i would be very keen to buy if you do. How much would u be selling ur tx5 for....

Its one of the best tx5s i have seen
please get back to me

my email is shannon152@hotmail.com
thanks

What do you mean vn commo has the weakest motor i havent had a single problem with mine
Mate when u think u got power come and race me how many kws does the g-reddy sticker give y??

When u got power (not a little 4 cyclinder shit box) thats when u can bag other peoples cars

Hey evl ay gona have a lil laugh with me thius guy thinks his standard vn commie is gonna beat the shit out of your lil 4 lt turbo he he he he does he realise his car weighs like 2 times as much as ours and still only has bout (or maybe even less) the same power as ours. *lol* Ill drag him

Oh and due his greddy sticker prolly gives him the same extra kw's that ur bloody tinted tail lights give you.

Oi mates my vn beats my mates tx5 turbo which is running 10psi boost so yeah when u wanna race?
My vn pulls 182 kws
Anyone is brizzy wanna race ill put money on it just bring it on

Well good on you mate a whole 182 kw's gee how ya getting that much power? from ya profile uve done practically nothin to it must either be some immaculate thing. Post up ya slips and give us a look.

The only thing that would even give u some power is the chip?? and the machined cams. I mean whats a standards vn power?? Like 90kws?? So basicall uve gone from thats to 182 kw's with just those things bloody big jump must been tuned bloody good ohh and mate evl's right its a well known fact that the vn were one of holdens most notrious cars for engine wear and damage. So just cause yours hasnt doesnt mean it dont happen.

P.S Im not tryin to have a go at u or anythin im just saying ya dont bag people for driving there cars urs probably is quick but so's evl's and so are half the people's on here. all evl was doin was pointing out a fact that im sure most vn and commodore owners would know.

umm.. yeah i get ur point and yeah i wasnt tryin to pay out on yous (seriously) and mate ive but a new motor in cause i wasnt goin to do a motor up that i had 220,000kms on it so i put a new one in and if u want a copy of the dyno sheet ill be happy to email it to u

Naa man she's all sweet Ill still drag ya I was just thinking that my mate has pretty much the same car with a cnew computer new engine and shaved heads copper gaskets and all that and his only gets like 120kw's on the dyno and I still rape him when we drag but yeah after looking around I spose ya could have that much power if she's tuned well and all. So soz dude but I still reckon Ill beat ya with my measly 119kw's in my car thats like twice as light as urs *lol*.l YA gotta admit those commie's are bloody heavy.

thanks for writing to me. i had a look at your car aswell looks very nice mate. u said u paid $400 for 2.5 inch exhaust with high-flow cat, do u mind me telling where from? it would be greatly appreciated if u did. Thank-mate.

He got it done at Dandy Exhaust, in Dandenong.

EVLTX5 if your willing to sell your car im willing to buy it!!

i like your ride so if ur interested in selling it let me know, ive already got one like yours but its not in the best condition and im thinking of just doing it up a bit and selling it.
cheers
