        we got our navara, right? now I am organizing to upgrade our head unit from OEM to 7 inch LCD/dvd/cd/mp3/iphone/ipod/radio player :-) for Christian and his wiggles - at the same time i will upgrade the car alarm system.

        Then if money permits - I want to upgrade the navara's bushing and install adjustable arms for the lift kit I have sitting in my shed already

            They changed the entrance from near the surf club to GAN GAN rd opposite Old main rd.

            Super fun.

                No permit. But dont go if the cars leaking oil or some crap. And there is signs saying were u can and can't drive. Before u go i recommend u get recovery tracks! Or go with some other 4wd and have tow rops. And its best after a rainy day. It compacts the sand. When i went. every foot step you sunk past your ankles! Ht's and At's are the best for sand. Muds dig u down and get u bogged. And road tires do help keep u float but give bad traction on the sand. Drop your tire psi to around 15 psi on the sand!

                    No you can never stop!

                    You might slow down when you have to watch the bank account, but in my eyes even air fresheners are a mod hehe

                      I love modifying my car but the funny thing is, when I look back it, the time spent to mod my car always goes like this
                      - first few minutes, the install is going to plan, I'm calm and collected
                      - next few hours/minutes, the install doesn't go to plan, s**t hits the fan and I get frustrated and say stupid s**t
                      - last few minutes, finally relieved that I won't have to repeat this install anytime soon.

                      I modify my cars purely on the basis of improving the driver experience. Modifying a car for the sake of not leaving it stock is just money down the drain in my opinion. I'll keep tweaking it and adjusting it till it reaches a point where I'm happy with how the car behaves and then enjoy the car until I think it's time for a change. Even if I wasn't happy with how the car behaved, I would still take time to enjoy the car for what it is. I buy the car for the car, not for the mods.

                      Time and time again, I see a highly tuned car for sale that only has a small number of km's on the engine e.g. 500-1000 kms. I just don't see any fun in that.

                      That's just my opinion though, rant ended lol.

                        Easy...Sell the car that you spent countless hours and money modifying but never drove and get a holden astra for 5k (although i did put a $100 headunit into it)

                          Modding is like changing undies... Sometimes you wake up in the morning and you're itching to change something.

                                I think modding a car comes down to personal preference and where you can draw the line, problem with all of us and correct me if im wrong is that most of us will never be happy with JUST that cold air intake or new set of wheels.
