Been wanting to start a Build thread on my 03 Cuore for a while and now that my exams are all over.
LETS DO THIS!!!
I turn 17, been begging for my parents to allow me to buy either a nice lowered sv6 ute or a jacked up hilux. They didnt like the idea of both and just made me drive the breathtaking Holden Barina with the 1.6 of course. I hated driving it. It had no sense of personality, nothing about it made me smile apart from its rather neat handbrake in which you can do mad 180s on a private road in Mexico. I was still adamant of getting something with a largeish engine and lowered/lifted. Dad decided that he would lend me our family Prado for a month. It had a 100+ litre fuel tank and I absolutely loved the turbo diesel’s pshhhhhhh sound. However when it came to fill up the damn thing. My bank account was going to be reduced by around 200 bucks. Sooooooo 4wd’s were out of the question for now for me to afford. After some youtube browsing I came accros the Blue Turd. Something about it made the hairs on the back of my hair stand up. I immediatley wanted one and searched on Gumtree and came accross the Cuore I have now. I didn’t want to wait or anything, called up the owner, made the deal and got a mate in Sydney to hand him a deposit. Dad and I caught a train to Liverpool to pick it up.
Next day I drove it to school and or school carpark was filled with these nice Sv6 utes and jacked up 4WD’s and the odd hyundai’s. Since the windows were so dark no one could see behind the wheel. I could see my mates just pointing at the car thinking what sort of a knob would be driving that shoebox. Well I got out of it and it was the laugh of the day apparently. It somehow managed to get the attention of the principle and the vice principle all of which kept laughing as I struggled to get out of it.
I noticed a strange characteristic of it. It made everyone around it including me smile. I noticed that when I was facing the stress of year 12 and other stuff that I was facing, the one thing that calmed me down was driving this.
AYYYYY its Christmas and I have no idea why I spent a whole day trying to install some reindeer antlers onto weather shields and then because I set my priorities straight, I just decided to take of the weather shields and clip on the antlers.
The car is officialy named…The Curry Cruiser. The fact that when a staff member from toyota dropped Dad home, he thought we had a Curry restaurant. So I took of the window sticker and just had two little ones near the wheels.
It’s service time because the car came with so service history and the previous owner was unsure of when anything was changed.
Thought I would give it a nice polish and wax.
Went to my first car meet ever and was super pumped. Even saw this mad cuore with 10+ speakers in the back from memory.
Just a cheeky night time pic.
A dude with a commodore wanted to take a pic of my car. I also took some of his mad SS.
My ghetto method of seeing whether ebay flares would look good on the car. Still stuck on with bluetooth at 60km/h.
I found out that there was a DSLR camera in the house and after blowing the dust off of it, I tried it for the first time. Gonna put it to good use now.
. So I bought the Sirion Gtvi unit from a seller on ebay brand new and it arrived in a few days after ordering. I measured out the unit and the length and width was the same as well as the location for the inlets, outlets and the bolt holes.
