I just found the "H" monogrammed carpet mats that were in the JDM CA wreck I first bought, a Tan colour. Vacuumed them off today, will give them a clean tomorrow, just a minor bit of heel scuffing on the driver's side H, otherwise very good cond. Put them up for sale soon.

Yep, it all works as it should :) When I turn the temp up, it heats up, when I turn it down, it cools. I just need to get the aircon regassed :)
Mhm, I'm very happy with the book so far. :) It's helped to provide a good insight of certain jobs I've been doing as there is next to no information online about this engine :P

Oh nice, I've seen those carpets in pictures. :) If they were gray I would probably buy them from you :P Do you have any pictures? :) Post them, let's see!

Weathers been a bit damp to give them a clean and get dry. Will be posting pics as soon as I can.

Does it have power steering?

If so watch out for the hose spilitting, mine split in the worst place of all.

Mine split in front of the exhaust manifold so there was smoke every where.

Okay, cheers for this info. :) I will check them when I get the car back.

After a lot of time on the phone today I found out that I cannot get insurance for this vehicle as it doesn't have a compliance 'exempt' sticker (something all imported vehicles needed to have). The reason it doesn't have one is because technically the Aero doesn't need one because it was made before 1989 which means it doesn't have to comply with the ADR (Australian Design Rules). BUT, South Australia overrides the rule with their own laws stating that cars made before 1985 don't need to comply. So I have to follow the SA law. Which means even though I don't need a sticker, apparently in SA I do... So insurance wont give me insurance for the car, but I can't drive the car without insurance. So after more time on the phone, I got an application for driving an unregistered vehicle which allows me to say "I'll be driving the vehicle from A, using roads 1, 2, 3 and 4 to get to B". It doesn't give me insurance for my car, or cover emergency crew levies in the case something happens... it just covers the other person's car.. which... was enough to get me to the chassis repair shop. :D So today I drove the Aero down to the chassis shop and the helpful owner said it should be done late next week or early the following the week. :) I must say, the drive was amazing. Very comfortable, I felt safe, I thoroughly enjoyed it. :D The shop owner's assistant also gave me a compliment and drooled for a little bit :D So win-win-win!

So after I get this done, I need to get a new muffler, and then it's off to our inspection agency for an ID check and a FULL roadworthy test (I am unhappy about this) to ensure my vehicle is up to standard with the ADRs so I can get that exempt sticker... :mad::mad: This is going to be a long and painful process... :( :(

JDM > all

haha I'm sure it'll be alright. These guys are actually some of the nicest guys I've met in SA. :) I'm sure it'll be fine.
but yes, a minor set back. :( Now I have to fix shit that doesn't work (like rear wiper, hazard lights, etc). But I suppose it's better I get it done now rather than put it off :P
