Title: Slow Turd
Post by: Ian3360 on December 22, 2016, 20:25
Thought I would add some details of my Sable '06, seeing as I've now owned her for four years.

This is her when I got her on the 23rd December 2012[attachment=2:3muh4f6s] ia2 image.jpg ia2 [/attachment:3muh4f6s]

Since I've had her, I've completed the following mods, with many more planned for next spring/summer. (Family issues have slowed/delayed progress over the last couple of years)

So far I've done the following:

 Engine Modifications:

Pre Cats removed
TTE Twin Exhaust

Suspension

TRD Sportivo Springs and Shock Absorbers (30mm drop)
Whiteline front and rear Anti roll bars
All bushes uprated to polybushes
Heavy Duty stainless front and rear Drop links

Brakes

Piranha Dimpled / Slotted disc all round.
Mintex pads
DOT 5.1 brake fluid
HEL Stainless Steel brake lines

Gearbox

Standard 6 speed
Brass cable / gearbox link connection

Chassis

Standard 06 front and rear bracing
Matts TTE centre cross brace

Exterior

Hardtop (winter months only)
Replica TRD sideskirts and front lip
AbFlug Rear lip
Ducktail Rear spoiler
Frenzy Style Bar
Colour coded rear Brake Light Cover
Simon Tan Style Colour Coded Headlight Covers
Zunsport full grille kit front, rear, side intakes & engine vent stainless steel grilles
C-One side scoops
Smoked Side indicators

Interior

Red Leather seats & trim
Red Leather armrests and centre console rest
Red Edition steering wheel
Wildermuller aluminum knob set
ChromDesign gear stick & speedo dials surrounds
ChromDesign stainless steel door handle trims
Custom wind deflector by BekaTee
BekaTee side window deflectors
Rear View Mirror Dash Cam

Audio

This is how she currently looks....far different to when I got her!

Currently refurbing a set of Rota GT3s....when it's warm enough in my shed to spray them, they'll be going on!
