Talking Ideas and help.......

: I recently bought (my first car) a 1994 AY TX5 Ghia, with a 5sp man 4cyl fuel injected motor. Heaps of stuff on my car can be found on this site a friend wipped up for me (excuse the bad photo of me on the front page!)
http://web.mac.com/inthatribe/
Im looking for some ideas for the car, some cool things you can do, just to make it original, I wanna personalise it but just dont know what to do.

Also im going to get some new mags for it, but dont know the offset or bore (but i dont think that realy matters), i think the ratio is 5/114.3.

Also do these telstars have an automatic aerial (think i spelt that right) because i cant get mine to go up, manually, and it does not go up automatically...

cheers

Welcome to the forums

Yes probably the best brand for after market aerials based on what you have described would be the viagra brand of aerial's, Should be able to ask at Dick Smiths , you will need to describe the problem as above then tell them the brand you need and all should be good. :eclipsee_

with the aerial, the current head unit i know does not support the automatic aerial, but the one going in does... and i was more wondering if anyone knows if the car has an automatic aerial in it already... because i cant seem to get it up manually, i got it down a tiny bit and when it moved it seemed to do it like at a pace, kind of when you push a motor a bit it keeps spinning a bit, but where as if it was manual, the metal and friction would make it stop immediently.

in reagrds to the body kit dirghty hands, ive had a real good look around but can seem to only find one and it looks like it should be on a silvia or something, so square, does not suit the curves of the car
