Still learning the ropes of mod cars and how expensive the bastards can be! Willing to hear any suggestions to enhancing performance. Looking at engine re-bulid but us girls get ripped off the general mechanic who wants to make an xtra buck. SOME LADY RAN IN2 MY FRIKKIN CAR.

3" cannon

17" Romi chrome mags

Mongoose alarm and immobiliser, Not alot as yet 2 pink neons mounted at the feet and some gay chrome painted gear knob. Vinyl paint on dash looks dodge on the pix but loox sweet in real!

Self-installed Pioneer head deck, Pioneer 6" bullet spilts mounted into door panels, jay-car 10" sub, Fusion FP504 Amp.

Garrett turbo currently boosts a SMALL 7PSI, weak!

Definatley improved performance after the garrett went in place of the factory turbo.

You have a garret turbo in you tx5 did it come standard or what..thats pimnping as...what size and type is it..must have a lot of custom work doen in there

its good to see a female join the tx5 boyz!! nice car would love to see more pics of it and ya garrett turbo setup

I have no farkn idea! Garrett, I knew at one stage, Ill ah get back to ya on that. As I said, still learning the ropes. Actually not that much has been done to it, I had the head machined and replaced the gasket for a copperhead gasket, fun that was, I never felt more proud the day the garrett went in, I cried, sad. Got the saw onto the front grill and siliconed some mesh in which I picked up from Hi-way truck accesories for $20, cheap as for a massive size. Then wired some red LED'z although it wasn't the effect I wanted. I took about 3 films of when I installed the stez, had to get some help from a friends boyfriend but he said, Im not doin it for you, Im just tellin' you, man after the work and hours you spend boggin up mdf for pods its definately worth it. Although the remote wire wasn't functioning from the back of the head deck so we hard wired it to something else, works like a dream. Wouldn't recommend the cheap jay car fuse hloders, not very heat resistant and they crack. Im a bit concerned, you tellin' me all the tx5's on here are dudez, oh wait the chick that put her tx5 on photoshop or whateverr, good try, see that a mile away.Give me some confidence, Ive been trying to sell her but no bites, Im thinkong that Im meant to kep the bitch and rip out the guts, (keep the garrett) and put in something new, stronger engine component maybe to run a EMS. Apparently micro-tech is the go.

seems you pretty much know the basics thats more then i can say for most girls,most wouldn;t even touch their cars.

if u still cant figure out why your speedo and etc. arent working it because your speedo drive cable snapped or poppoed out of the gearbox myne did it couple months back nothing to worry bout just tell the mechanic or whoever looks at it to chek the sppedo drive cable

Cheers dude, I've checked the cable where the manual tranmission fluid goes looks all good but haven't checkt up behind the dash, should be a Saturday job huh

hey nice car,the rims look sweet.a cheap way to get heaps of horses get a fuel pump(at least 500hp) and fuel reg(mallory)should cost no more than $400, and a boost controller. but yeah ur car looks real neat one of the cleanest i've seen. can u post some pics of ur interior.

Sure, next week my bitch is down from TVL (my friend) she has a digi cam so I'll get sum photos of the stez and inside, neat as, I know and apparently chicks don't keep thier car clean! As for the others Garrett T15. Hairdryer.

What you recommend for a boost controller? Autobarn cheap shit or turbosmart seem to be pretty popular and efficient. Do you know anything about capacitors for the stez? i'm looking at more equipment in the next couple of months.

I see you live on Southside Brizzy, funny we haven't passed eachother yet!

No need for a capacitor as far as Im concerned and Im runnign 3 amps to 15 inch subs and 2 sets of speakers..soon to be 3 .... as far at boost contoller I'd suggest turbosmart although many people say the sp[ike with the tx5's Ive never had a problem either them or GFB

Thats all you had to say zorb! Thanks for that. Apparently you guys down South were doin a TX5 cruise, I was gunna say to old mate coz he lives up here, thatd be a good idea I'd be honoured to be the only chik at a cruise. Besides thier Gf's. Some wank told me The kicker Amps shit on Fusion, whats ur view?

u live in southside too ay, go the turbosmart its been good for me and gfb products all cheap shit dont waste ur money. we should do a cruz down here my m8s got a tx5, u near underwood? oh yeah no headache but i do get a lot of ppl lookin in.

Over the West side dude, but my Ma is on Southside and Im usually over that way, so it'd be sweet to see other tx5's. I had some dudes down Sydney hassle me to sell it but I said no. Then I moved to Townsville and theres like crap there, Im tellin you, CRAP. Theres like one place up there that modify cars and the other place are dodgy.

ur sterio comin along nicely u done any perfrmance stuff yet? check out the dash i got 4 sale next time ur ova soufside u should come have a look.got a shit load of spares too.

Yeah, not too bad eh. Still alot of work. Still haven't taken her to the Dyno after the turbo was in but I'll get around to it.
Performance wise, I don't really know too many people with nice cars. My friend just put a hell of alot of money into her CRX so I'm way behind now LOL. Where on the Southside you live?

love those neons , they look tuff as under the dash , did u make ya door pods ya self or ?

Thanx. I have to mount the one on the drivers side but thats minor.
I did the pods myself, the only thing I didn't do was the holes in the door with the jig saw, gotta a mate to do it just in case I farked it! Yes, quite proud of my first job, even made a photo album, step by step. Sad I know but for a chick it's pretty sweet.

i live in yeronga but work at underwood, where do u stay?

Live on the West Side but work at Acacia Ridge. What spares you got?

back bar, rear drivers side door,washer motor, tail lights n brand new hadlights. oh and the dash.u know ne1 wants their dash done ne car. ive done a r33, hilux, commodore if u do let me know $300.

hey extreme how mcuh would ya wnat for those headlights?? Also do you have a spare tb boot lying around?? and an oil return hose from the turbo??
