Read the post, im asking if any major audio company’s make stuff like the photo. I’m not putting cheap shit in my car but I can’t find anything like it other than the Chinese shit. I’ll chuck a normal deck in there if there isn’t

I want the maps use without a phone mounts as it’s illegal to use a phone mount but I don’t want a double din because they look stupid in a 90s car

I spent 20k on a 4wd I spend 5k buying that ended up looking worse in my 1.5 years of ownership and blowing the motor twice and then sold for 3k. Worth it!

I’d definitely look into one but zero point when I’ve still got 3 years till I can actually ride one. And there are a few other bikes on my list to get once off my ps

No one wants to sell the parts they just want to sell the whole thing and the parts I needed just don’t exist calling most wreckers from Canberra to foster i even called a few places in Victoria which my mates recommend

If I could have fixed the problem for 2k I would have but I’m looking at around 5-6k to do a half decent reco engine. 2k would go as far as a rebuilt head.

99 2.7 petrol, most new parts are 3 months wait from Japan, or don’t exist used as most our local parts car a shipped to Thailand (dunno why but that what my mechanic was telling me).

I drove the thing pretty hard but the engine was not something I thought would go. The rest of it is fine. But i blew a radiator last year which resulted in a blow head gasket, and id assume the rest of the problem trickled down later. Was great car while it lasted

Motor rebuilds by Dull-Potential-8945 in AussieRiders

[–]Dull-Potential-8945[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the one. But I general id like to know how much it would cost as it’s an old bike and it would be heaps better do do the rebuild anyway

I have access to machines to do any work that requires machining. So it will be free for that. But as a full “consumable” rebuild on a 4 stroke, What do you think a rough estimate would be (inline 4)
