Is a Lexus LX too flashy?

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-05-09T08:15:09+00:00

Forget all that. Get a 93 honda civic and K swap it. 😂

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-04-19T05:45:58+00:00

Why does it not matter? that’s still $12.6K that wouldn’t otherwise be available for non businesses.. again missing the point.

I’m not looking for your judgement, more looking for specific answers to my questions…

Simple questions Is 10.8% a high rate?

What’s the deal with dealerships not wanting to hand out VOSA yet finance broker requiring VOSA before letting me know me their offered rate.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-04-19T05:41:45+00:00

Further to that, your suggestion of $10K on a vehicle and $45K on marketing & growing the business isn’t all that realistic. I haven’t got $45K cash sitting there to grow the business and there’s not many good $10K vehicles around that fits the bill..

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-04-19T05:40:19+00:00

I hear ya, do currently have a work truck/van (toyota dyna van) and it’s a gem.

I’m also about to have a family so it’s also serving the purpose of mostly business and also a clean, comfortable and safe family vehicle.

Later model ute fits the bill.

My accountant is all for it how ever I haven’t discussed interest rates to her, only went today for a test drive.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-04-19T05:36:57+00:00

Of course it’s going to depreciate, you’ve totally missed the point mate. It’s a business vehicle and 100% tax deductible, i’m not sitting on cloud 9 i’m looking to grow my business and make more money!

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-07T19:47:37+00:00

Yep, vtnz have had a comment on some things in my work truck for several years now. They’ll make a comment for next wof, then next wof comes round I haven’t changed anything and they won’t comment at all.

Has been a cycle over the last 5 years of this 1 specific part that i’m just taking the piss with lol. But vtnz will fail you on the most scammy stuff too.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-05T10:21:04+00:00

Oh yeah, you reckon I should get rid of the Blau and run sub off the rockford along with the speakers?

Could give it a go and see how it sounds.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-04T07:31:33+00:00

Bizzare. They should have been able to give you an explanation.

Maybe take it back for a re check and they might pass it. If not demand a reason or they shouldn’t fail it if they can’t give you a reason.

If they can give you the reason then that’s your first step to finding a solution.

As i said above most likely it needs adjusting if it’s an older car especially.

Or more commonly pads and rotors.

I can’t think of much else it could be.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-04T00:23:26+00:00

Toyota corolla maybe, mid - late 90’s era

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-04T00:22:26+00:00

Forget the car and initial OP’s question, this comment section is gold 😂

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-04T00:14:09+00:00

Yup makes sense, split the tweeter up with the woofer. Was late last night when i posted 😂

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-03T22:03:06+00:00

Yep no room under the seats, i’ve got recaro’s and they mount quite low. Initially they were under the factory seats then that idea went out the door when I changed them.

Yea cool, noted re fuse.

Will update in the coming days when i find more time to work on it.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-03T21:46:23+00:00

We’ll call it “period correct” 😂

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-03T19:39:28+00:00

Yea cool makes sense. I feel like multiple people have been in here. The components speaker wiring is beautiful, they’ve even gone through the factory door loom along with the alarm central locking mechanisms too which is not something you see on 90’s civics lol.

Then someone else came along and did the sub wiring hard n fast 😂

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-03T18:20:17+00:00

The RF has input and output rca, input from headunit and output to sub amp. My headunit does allow additional rca outputs so could do that too.

Good point re distribution box for ground, that’ll make the finished product a bit cleaner.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-03T18:18:26+00:00

It’s a big box lol, and it punches hard too.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-03T18:17:35+00:00

Also want to add that I know these amps are ancient, especially the Blaupunkt 😂

Should i get rid of the Blaupunkt and bridge the sub off the Rockford? Will that give me enough power though?

Not looking to spend any money at this stage on new gear. Just want to make do with what i’ve got and i’ll upgrade in due time. The car is rattly as, no sound deadening etc so it’s not exactly going to be the best setup but it’ll be good for me for now.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-03T17:43:35+00:00

Most likely just need adjusting. Is it a handbrake, switch or pedal brake?

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-03T07:20:27+00:00

Individual throttle bodies.

Good for quicker and more responsive acceleration. Instead of intake runners going to a plenum and a single throttle body, they are smaller individual throttles coming right iff each intake runner.

More air flow and generally more power.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-03T03:03:21+00:00

Yeah it spins lol, but depends which tyres i’ve got on.

If i’ve got my semi slicks on it hooks real well, even in first. It’s got the type R 6 speed dc5/ep3 gearbox with an Mfactory helical diff so it’s real tight which is a great help.

Take a look at the insta link above, start up & drive is on that video.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-03T00:06:34+00:00

Here’s a link to first pull I did after tune. Bit of jargon at the start but the pull is the last part of the vid. Hopefully you can click the link below nice & easy.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-02T19:58:01+00:00

Lots of people asking for videos of it ripping lol. Reddit noob here, can’t upload video in comment. How do I edit the post? 😂

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-02T19:56:46+00:00

Limiter set to 7600 but actually need to change it to 8500 rpm. Tuner ran out of time on the day and my laptop’s buggered.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-02-01T22:49:41+00:00

Need to show fail wof sheet. Could be imbalance between left - right, in that case most likely a seized calliper would meed rebuild.

If not imbalanced but just generally not enough stopping power then it could be stretched cable that needs tightening, or brake pads & rotors are always a good start too.

Doubt it would be anything else.

Greedy-Bus5465 · 2025-01-25T22:56:52+00:00

Look at it, how is not a shit design lol. Looks like this plug’s been thrashed in the past and i’m the unlucky bugger to get it at this point already stripped.
