White teg joins the ranks - Hi !
Hey Everyone!
Bought my late model 92 teg earlier this year for $5400 with 125,XXX km's on the clock from the original lady owner (god bless those lady owners) and I love her!!
Just thought I'd introduce myself as this site has been the best find ever! I'm no mechanic but OzHonda has inspired me to learn as much as I can about my teg as I can.
Since joining here as a member, and using the knowledge found on these pages I have...
- learnt how to reset my ECU
- learnt and performed a power steering flush (glad to have that red muck out of my system) and replaced with gen Honda fluids
- changed air filter
- gained a bucket load of knowledge on tire pressures, tire choices, suspension setups, exhaust systems, intake systems etc
- installing rear taillights
After reading all about power mods etc I resisted the temptation to throw some money at the I/H/E and decided to first get her running beautifully at stock. First service was at Honda dealership (I know I'm paying for the guy who greets you in the morning) who did the usual fluids etc plus I got the tappets done. Glad I did as they were too tight!!!
Anyhow then I figured probably best best was to even out all round performance/drivability so the next things I'm looking at are handling related...
Plans for my baby include:
- c-drives going on this week (quote $560 on the car @ 195/60/14)
- K&N panel filter in the mail ($95 delivered ! go the aussie dollar!!)
- Awaiting quote on Endless brake pads
- koni yellows/ GC quoted on from states for $999 US delivered (holding on these for cash flow)
- X-Force header and catback system quoted on $1000 on car (maybe save up a bit more for TODA quality header instead - the decisions the decisions!)
- Hondata s100 with tune
- replace rear bumper (maybe add lips kits)
- EK side skirts
- HD clutch and lightened flywheel (actually probably first power mod to go on)
- rob a bank (j/k) :P
Scarey thing is I was never really a "car guy" untill I found my teg and this site - damn you guys :P !
Anyhow I've attached some piccys (to avoid ban) and yes she has altezzas atm (cheers Vtegra for perfect easy transaction) but of course I kept the stockies just in case...
(altezzas are a whole different story and b4 u start yes I know they are prolly defectable although i have gone to measures to at least ensure the indicators flash amber - so far so good... oh and I bought these b4 i knew the definition of RICE lol)
Thanks for reading and THANkS for this awesome site !!
See ya round,
Joe
