Owner Comments: Hello.. Bought this tx5 about christmas 2003, completly stock as a rock. Had only done 124,000kms so i was pretty rapt. Plus i bought it off a old lady so i knew it wasnt rapped too hard so thats pretty legit. Slowly doin it up.. want to get a exhaust system happening soon..dunno if i should get 3incha or just 2n1/5... i doubt i will run too high boost caus im paranoid i will launch a piston out mi bonnet.. and plans for a mass cooler and big pipes to match it.

Hey  I nearly brought taht green car 2 weeks ago when I was buying mine. test drove it and everything yeah that front mount is bloody huge and the cooler makes a great sound. IT was a nice car mechanically but apperance wise it needed a bit of work. he wanted 7,500 for it I talked him down to 6,800 but decided to get my balck one instead. The car was quick but you know, hadnt really be maintained the best and needed some work. NEwayz yeah intercooler is huge. |

hmmm, im a fan of the tx5 cos i have one !! , but i reakon that looks so ugly....bad choice of paint, and it looks like its badly maintained.......
and the intercooler is a bit over the top, plus its a truck intercooler which doesnt work that well compared to half decent one.
haha, look at the shit he wrote, looks so dodgy........ " car serviced every month" !!! hahaha sure mate
"i had offers of 7800" u must be a tossa if u belive any of that.......

| Yeah he did speak a heap of shit but yeah. As if it'd be serviced every month. He wasnt go get a rwc for it or nothing and the paint job was pretty shit he did it himself. only good thing on it was the bloody cold air intake which looked sweet but other than that it was pretty shitful really I much prefered my black one. What do you guys think should I have got the green one of the blackj one I now have? green was a 1988 mines a 1991 I got mine for 6,000 and it was standard except for the turbo time and some parts of the sound system. Green one I could have got for 6,800 minus rwc. Let me know. |

I second that....
Much better to start off fresh, annd then modify it yourself. It means that you don't have someone else f*ck up to deal with. But you may be able to pick up a sweet deal from someone, if it's been done right.

fadz84, relax would ya, haha,
im not saying your talking shit, who knows, u might have invoices ect to show ur car was serviced every 30 days, who knows, but if u do, you'd be the first guy in aus to be doing it.
Secondly, when did i say the cooler was bad for the car? all im saying is that its a truck core, which as many ppl know, arnt designed for injected engines and dont allow alot of air flow compared to water-air.
cheers lads |
