My 360 GLT... slowly getting there... lol!

Post by **Aussie 360GLT** » 28 Aug 2008 07:28 am

When i first got her she looked like this...

And so far i have modified the grille, removed the clutch fan and a/c, and eadded the thermo fan...

And then i removed the foglights, as one was damaged, and modified the air intake etc...

And then just a few little touches to the interior...

steering wheel, stereo and speakers...

And of course security...

Now i also have a nice tuff sounding 2 1/4 inch exhauust with a hotdog and custom muffler with twin 3 inch tips...

So...

What does everyone think??

Sweet car!

I am all about originality so I don't like the steering wheel and the exhaust is a bit silly (big).
I DO like the modified grille, it looks so much better without the fwd slash in it!

thanks!

yer thats fair lol.

i do like the original 360's as well aye especially with the bodykits etc like the one u just picked up .

i guess its more up to personal preference lol.

To be honest, I am going to mod my exhaust to be gigger (or just look like its bigger) too, but I will keep the tip at the original location because of the bodykit.
Original 300 exhaust tips just look stupid... Like you ran over a toddler and his knackered little arm got stuck in the leaf spring and is sticking out from underneath your car...

The size will be like the 740 pic in my avatar. 1 x 3"

Reading back, it could have been a bit less violent...

Yeah, and I could've just kept my mouth shut

I'll just replace "toddler" with "kangaroo" in my mind

BTW nice GLT Aus ... As ever, MkII GLTs are the best-looking 300s IMHO!

Any idea how much it'd cost to get an Aus 360 shipped to the UK!? They look lovely over there!

Beautiful job. I've gone back to my stock grille - decided the car just didn't look right without a volvo slash on the front end. I like the way you've touched in the GLT badge - looks really good. I just deleted mine.

I like that exhaust - a lot. Bet it sounds good too. Wheel is very fitting. I have a grandad retro wooden one. Amazing how much sportier a V300 feels with a smaller steering wheel.

How does it feel after deleting the viscous van? Free up a few horses?

What's that nav unit you've got slotted into the cubbyhole, can you read it ok down there?

lol thanks guys!

im not sure how it would be to ship over there sorry lol ive never looked into it...

"How does it feel after deleting the viscous van? Free up a few horses?"

by this do you mean the clutch fan?? lol

yeah its helps a bit lol... well i did blow the doors off a CA18DE nissan silvia lol TWICE! and the dude had no idea what my car was and he said that i had flames shooting out of the exhaust hahaha!!

oh and its not a nav unit down there its just a 7 inch lcd screen for the stereo to entertain the misses on long trips etc lol.

Post by **Aussie 360GLT** » 02 Sep 2008 11:32 am

Just a bit of an update on what ive been up to....

Just picked up another 360 a couple weeks ago thatwill be a donar car to get mycar back on the road. It has 2" lowered suspension, and im also stealing the torque tube, gearbox and diff etc. and a few other little bits that might come in handy lol.

i also have got my hands on a 740 turbo engine that im stripping down and rebuilding, to eventually be put into my 360!! wooot!! lol.
while pulling it apart i came to learn that must have just had the head replaced as all the internals are all nice and clean and look brand new so that was a bit of a score.

i was hoping to put up a few picks of what ive been up to lately with my car but my pc is deciding to be difficult atm lol.
