As in title.

For the last 10 years this was my wife's daily runner. It went from home to the station and back (3kms) and to the shops once or twice a week. It's got a towbar and I took a trailer to the tip every month or so. Probably an average of 50kms per week since we've had it. We're both in our 50's so hasn't had a hard time.

Runs well

Manual gearbox - new clutch a couple of thousand k's ago.

Airconditioned - works well (bloody freezing).

Seats/interior all good.

Good general condition for its age.

Paint is faded

Radio doesn't work

Needs a couple of tyres.

Passenger side door mirror is gone - some doofus at the station wanted it :(

It's currently registered (and in use) but selling unregistered.

$500.

No offers thanks.

PM if interested...thanks.

Would've bought this INSTANTLY if it was in SA

How many K's? Is it in road worthy condition? In your honest opinion would it make it from Brisbane to Adelaide without any hassles? (driven).

It's done around 200ks. The odometer cacked itself 5 or 6 years ago and was replaced with one from the wreckers but that didn't work either, although in both cases the speedo worked.

There's no oil leaks, engine bay is all original (no dodgy wiring etc.)

As I said, it will need a couple of tyres but honestly there is no reason why it wouldn't make it.

It's an honest car. We are the second owners. Previous owners were also "middle aged" so it's never had a tough time.

If you are genuinely interested pm me your email address and I'll take some more photo's and send them to you.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
