Hey all... My name is John. I'm known on most forums as Tiger (forums such as Mobile Electronics Australia, Phoenix Phorum, RollaClub etc).

I purchased a silver 2002 XC Barina SRi off a friend of mine (was neglected for 6 months at the front of his place) and I discovered the mechanics were still A1 on the car. The elements got to the roof of the car, so a new paint job is on the cards; but there's been a few mods done to the car already.

Keyless entry/start
Angel eyes up front
Clear indicators
Blue LED dashboard lighting replacement
De-badged front grille
Tinted windows (pretty damn dark)
17" Enkei Wheels included with the car
Sound deadened floorpan and rear guards
Optima D34 battery under the hood

BUT... I've had to get a few things sorted for a roadworthy.

New windscreen
Wiper blades
Remove driver/passenger door tint
Rubber mount for rear muffler needed replacing
Bolt holes in the boot needed grommets in place

The car goes back for it's final check on Monday afternoon and by Friday I should be good to register the car :)

You have all been warned in advance... I have a dangerous car audio fetish. I'm a cabinetmaker by trade and a car audio industry supporter/enthusiast for over 12 years now, so I have a bad habit of doing crazy things with audio installations. 6 months alone with a Hiace saw myself and a friend completely destroy the interior of this thing. (nothing original left except the front seats! haha) Here's my facebook build logs of the poor Hiace:

So once this Barina gets registered... it'll get audio therapy.

Thanks all and I hope to be of some use on this forum, as I have tried to be with other forums I'm affiliated with :)

Cheers all for the welcome posts :) Glad to have joined.
I also look forward to any VIC meets/events in the near future; which I can offer up a hand to assist with organising, if required.
