toshin Posted 2, November 2010 Report Share Posted 2, November 2010 So i went from this: to this Not a great pic but more to come later. So far have replaced the front speakers with some focals (deck/amp/slim sub to come soon) and plan to order a skoda front lip(took me ages to figure out what 'splitter' was). Also will be doing the aux/cam belt and pulleys next week. The car is sure fun to drive around bends...and its not scary in the wet, either!

griffyn Posted 2, November 2010 Report Share Posted 2, November 2010 Welcome. Well and truly welcome. Are you enjoying "flying under the radar" with the change of wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted 2, November 2010 Report Share Posted 2, November 2010 Welcome Toshin, glad your enjoying the 182, they're a fun little car. The S15, looks very nice too, some tasteful mods on board.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSA Posted 3, November 2010 Report Share Posted 3, November 2010 Welcome Love the S15, will go down as a classic for sure. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshin Posted 3, November 2010 Author Report Share Posted 3, November 2010 Dansa yeah i do miss the s15 torque from 3~5k. Actually looking at your sig...that was my original idea for buying a clio (a car with almost everythign included in stock form) oh well, just ordered the skoda splitter. $39!

Jeffie Posted 3, November 2010 Report Share Posted 3, November 2010 Cool jdm version! I still love these and they were Motor PCOTY for a reason (no dodginess that year!). Clios are great too, congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 3, November 2010 Report Share Posted 3, November 2010 oh well, just ordered the skoda splitter. $39! Welcome to our lil community Congrats on the purchase - I'm sure you'll love it. Probably a very different feel to the modded S15, but I'm sure you'll appreciate it for many other reasons. So, where'd you order the Skoda splitter from??

toshin Posted 3, November 2010 Author Report Share Posted 3, November 2010 Rick Damelian Å koda Phone: (02) 9560 1000 Only one more piece left in sydney (after mine). apparently someone ordered one yesterday too. Somehow...i don't think its for a skoda. Yeah the car is definitely different. Babying it at the moment though till i get the service done. 85,xxx on the clock and the belt hasnt been done. It's a late 04 model too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted 5, November 2010 Report Share Posted 5, November 2010 Hi Toshin, First off, thanks for the tip on the Skoda splitter. You've made friends alrerady. 2nd... i so loved the S15, but IMO, it should have had the CWest widebody kit as standard. THAT was a fantastic bit of kit. Like you white one as (as above) it was not over the top, and no rear spoiler (well done). 3rd... the 182 cup still beats all for me, it just makes my eyes dance knowing what it's all about. So cheers, welcome and enjoy. WOLF PM sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toshin Posted 28, April 2011 Author Report Share Posted 28, April 2011 Not sure if this needs to be in the my rides thread...but a few new pics. Just 5 mins after this shot i parked at maccas next to a commowhore, and a few hours later noticed a tiny ding on my door which looks distinctly like a door hitting it. Unnoticable to the naked eye but so annoying because i know the angle to make it appear. On the way to wakefield! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser215 Posted 28, April 2011 Report Share Posted 28, April 2011 Your wheels look a lot like mine! However they were put on by the previous owner.

strife Posted 28, April 2011 Report Share Posted 28, April 2011 get some dishes rims and coilovers. I wanna see a jdm clio. Also, are they 20% tints - im considering what to get at the moment, as the *legit* 35% tinting guidelines in NSW are a joke for personal privacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshin Posted 29, April 2011 Author Report Share Posted 29, April 2011 My tints are 20% Coming from nissans/hondas with many 'illegal' mods, I can say you'll most likely -never- get busted with anything over 5%. They generally overlook it, unless you get caught for being too low/intercooler etc. Yeah, Volk/rays ce28n 4.3kg each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toshin Posted 17, June 2013 Author Report Share Posted 17, June 2013 Just picked up my new ride! Been a tough week for me at work with redundancies and other personal issues. Was pondering a loan for a 250 but in hindsight i'm lucky I didn't! This was like a huge shining...yellow light at the end of the tunnel. Shame I barely got it past 3k rpm due to the peak time hume hwy traffic haha. Anyway, pretty obvious who the previous owner is: it has a sunroof. Firstly, a huge thanks to Esoteric, who provided me with whatever pics and information I requested without delay. Hope to see him in a 250 in the near future (which i'll happily also buy unsighted ). I bought it sight unseen and I must say everything is as described. The entire process/transaction went smoothly and without issue, albeit random confusion due to phone/email correspondence only. If i'm honest, i'd never have done this with any of my previous cars. It's the OZRS community, and the integrity of most owners which make things like this possible imo. Example: in my search, I came across the infamous FIR-26T (will resurrect that thread with new details). The owner immediately told me it was a writeoff without me asking. In my JDM days i'd get "bro it was just in a small front end ding" when the car was actually written off twice. True story. Anyway, other than the timing belt which may need to be done asap, it is a real pleasure to drive Will definitely try make the next meet, but in the meanwhile...cya on the roads!

toshin Posted 5, August 2013 Author Report Share Posted 5, August 2013 Pretty happy with the sound now! Too much bass in fact! Gotta play with the settings more. I was planning to change the fronts, but then saw that the oem speakers are actually Blaupunkd...probably explains why people don't hear any real difference with the Panasonics.. This sub does not need a direct battery connection, has an active amp and is ~$200 shipped. Single plug when you want to remove it, too. Heres a sound clip which sortof works if you have a Sub.
