Heya fellas,
My name is Brian. Im in the process of selling my 1966 VC Valiant and moving up to a CJ lancer, a car with airbags and air conditioning amongst many other things. Going to buy my lancer hopefully this month and have it decked out by the next. As this is my first non brick car ill be pretty nooby about how to get parts, put them on and fix things so bare with me.
Should be fun
Cant wait to see you guys out on a cruise,
BR14AN

Hi There and welcome.
Bring on the questions as we have a lot of knowledgeable people here who love to share said knowledge.
Sydney guys are having a meet at Homebush on Sunday morning, partly on account of my being up from Canberra for the weekend (I only get to meet with interstate folk generally). Details in the meets and events section.

Welcome aboard!
Further to SIR-VRX's advice might I add GO VRX!
The Smart key makes a world of difference!

Welcome to the club mate.
Like Ofey said the smart key is great the looks I get when I walk up to my car and it unlocks as I touch the door are priceless, the seats are great too.

Not to be picky but MY10 ES has all 7 airbags and 5 star ANCAP now.
I bought the VRX mainly due to the 4b12 and the coolness of the smart key. I tell people it reads our finger prints under the door handle lol
Don't forget about the sport trim

Nooo they don't
MY10 started in September, and only now the 7 airbag as standard ones are rolling in
