Hi all,

Just got my My08 CDX 1.8 auto from the auctions... very nice car.

Ive had a copule of cars in the past..
1978 TE Cortina 4.1 (worked)
TX5
1997 WRX
Hyundai Excel (wifes car when I got married and needed to save up for a House)
2000 Outback (when we had kids) (the car is For Sale)
2005 Prado (when we had a few more kids... 3 boys- all into cars)
and now the Astra for me.

I've just got a sunglass holder to replace the drivers roof handle and some new mats too.

I haven't searched yet, but I'm interested in improving the induction (some sort of new air filter) and also Exhaust and ECU mapping for a 1.8 petrol.

Look forward to contributing.
Fred

Hi Poita,

Nice to meet you.

I'm live at Rouse Hill, but work in Campbelltown.
I'm trying to get a handle on who is available to get ECU maping and exhaust jobs done.

I've just started reading about panel filters, and tubing for the airbox and stuff.
Do you know know of anyone you can recommend?

I'm in QLD so no help to you there sorry.
There is plenty of guys here who can help.
But the name Best Mufflers comes to mind, I think a few of the guys in Sydney have had work done through them
