Thats what I will get next.
get some tints too Snap. Much better than the fish bowl look.
Hoe many kms has that one done ?? Look after it, change the oil often ( My service interval is 5000kms)
Oil filter every time. Fuel filter every second. G/box and diffs every 25k kms. Air filter as required.
Where are you based Snap??

Thank you for the insight Tac A1
I have a seat cover and that little tray that goes around the gear stick coming this/next week,
Tint (FM7) is booked for Friday.

Done 30 km so far,
Good idea to get the oil replaced at 5k before Toyota service is due (10k), especially for a new engine
I hope my mechanic neighbour knows what oil to use.

I'm currently based in Wainui - Auckland.

I may or may not need it but will look it up ,
dont want to do anything that I dont need or might void Toyota warranty.

Quality car audio in Chch for sound systems, good fullas. Also Manawatu Sound Hub in palmy, but there’s gotta be a good one in Auckland. Alpine for good gear.

I used to use JonVy but for the $ that I spend and the sound quality, I'm not going back there again.
