Here's my list of problems, with the fix for each in brackets:
1. No extractors (fitted pacemaker 4499s)
2. Leaking rear muffler (replaced with redback 2.5" cats back system)
3. Ride height in the clouds (fitted eibach "-25" springs in the front - same as King superlows, and got rear leaves reset 60mm. Have since changed rear leaves to King Heavy Duty items, with total drop at the back of about 40mm from standard - ie raised approx 20mm from original lowered height)
4. Black door handles (fitted chrome ones from a Fairmont Ghia)
5. Cloth inserts in doors (fitted self made vinyl inserts)
6. 16 x 7" alloys (fitted 18x8 & 18x9s)
7. Standard grille fitted to car (fitted custom mesh grille, then C2R grille, now XR grille)
8. Standard headlights (painted bezel black, a la T series. Now have XR lights, front end, bonnet and bonnet latch)
9. Air filter dirty (fitted 3" intake pipe, and pod filter in stock air box. Did the Casper/JC air box mod - extra intake from behind headlights)
10. Standard AU2 front rotors (fitted DBA 502S - slotteds)
11. Standard shocks travelled 120,000km (fitted Monroe GT gas Reflex)
12. Dead battery (bought and fitted new battery)
13. Stock CD player/radio (fitted JVC DVD player, 7" in-dash screen and 8" TFT flip down screen)
14. Stock speakers (fitted Pioneer 2 way 5x&s front and 4" 2 way rears)
15. Stock AU vinyl/plastic shifter (fitted leather gear shifter, but soon to fit AU SSS shifter and electronics)
16. Dash bulbs white (made and fitted blue & red LEDS)
17. No driving lights on Forte (fitted driving lights behind the grille, including switchable Red/blue flashing LEDs)
18. Unpainted rocker cover (painted rocker cover black)
19. No fanbelt shroud/cover (Fitted cover (signed by Marcus Ambrose) from my AU1 XR6)
20. MAP sensor, spark plug leads & plugs worn out (replaced all items)
21. Windows untinted/slightly tinted - (Got windows tinted darkest legal - 35%?)

That's about it. Most of them are not really problems with car, just problems with the owner - got that "Mod bug".
