Hey the names Jason,from N.S.W Sydney, i own a 1997 Ford Falcon Sapphire GLI.

Yeh most of it is stock.
Thinking about getting rims then lowering it.

If you get rims, make sure you do lower it Welcome to the site, btw like your sig

Hey a Sydney boy! where bouts in sydney you from?

Yeh, im more concerned with changing my globes on the dash. If anyone can help me please just tell me.
Marty im from around Parramatta way, yourself?

another boy from sydney... nice
clean car mate, i like. When you figure out the dash let me know. Then again if i figure it out i'll let you know lol

Hey Brad,
I think I've figured out what to do about the dash.
One auto-electrician told me theres no point in changing 2 or 3 globes and just wait for all of them to blow, so i left a couple of my globes blown. I decided I'm going to buy an EL GHIA's cluster which already has blue lights and put it in my Sapphire, because i forget the exact amount the auto-elect quoted me around $1000 (i thought WTH- Labour). The guy I'm buying it off I'm also getting to install it because he's done it before and i haven't, the only complication was that my car has around 168,000km's and his screen showed that his car had 200,000+ so after a bit of talking he agreed to put my screen into the cluster so it would still show 168,000.

MIGHT be a little bit of info here on the dash mate viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11414

how much is this ghia cluster + putting it in going to set you back?

The dude quoted me 250.

hey nice clean sapphire mate

$250!

you can get the led's off ebay, gotta put them in yourself and whatnot, they are around $30

bit of stuffing around, well in my case it was a bit of stuffing around. up to you though !

I live at camden, if you know where that is...lol im always cruising around livo and parra area so il keep an eye out for you. should come on a cruise with me and some other eseries boys.

Lol yeh for sure, always around parra and city.

And FOR.0EL, im not able to do it myself, i haven't done that kind of stuff before and if i **** up im stuffed , or else i would do it by myself, meh i got quoted by a auto elect that he would charge around 600-1000 labour and parts.

k

you forgot to censor out your number plate in the last pic.
car looks good, just need to lower and remove mud flaps

Haha MEH, was thinking about removing them today as i was washing the car.

haha love how people hide there number plates hahah who cares what ya plates are. will look cool once its dumped a bit

Was thinking about it, need some more cash.

Havent saved anything since i started working. Most places quote me 700-800all up for shocks/struts plus springs fitted. Most probably next pay.

Paint looks good, I would lose the pinstripe. As above, dumpage++

Dumpage Inc. , paint seems pretty good few chips and dark spots here and there, didn't end up polishing it today (we ran out) lol.

wats the 90 on the p plate mean?

We have to drive over 90km'h in all zones.

lol nicee

i go by the add a 1 rule. little hard wen u get to a 100 zone but i guess u cud give it a good go.



so ur saying u hav to stay under 90 when ur on ur p's?

Yep, they say that...
Lol.

that sux balls..

does it change when u get on your greens?

Learners = 80 and < 1 year on them
Red p's= 90 and < 1 year on them
Green p's= 100 and < 2 years on them

Got to be at least 20 to get a full license, i think its 21 now. Got to be 16 or 17 to get your learners here i forget which one.
Then 110 for fulls.

yer same rules here except we dont hav the speed limit crap. and noone of the limits go over 100 where i live.

Is it immediate loss of license if your speeding there?

nuh uve got 4 points. if u do 40k's over its immediate loss but thats cus its classed as dangerous driving or something.

u only hav to be doin 24k's over the limit to lose 4 points and thats all uve got if ur on ur p's.

i got 1 left

LOL farout, in N.S.W its an immediate loss anything over the speed limit. The point system only refers to things like stop sign's and red light cam's and stuff like that. Pretty stupid i hate it, and some cops act like dickheads.

yer like those wankers with the speed guns. theres like 10 cars doing the same speed as you but the guns aimed at the p-plater car cause we are easier to get off the road.

i got done just after a 60 sign. i was slowing down to 60 from 80 . they got me at 74

Damn, yeah lucky i haven't been pulled over yet.

There was this one d*ckhead, my brother slowed down from 50-maybe 10 km's to a stop sign that everyone just rolls through, bro ended up getting done for rolling over at 10km's or less. They were like 3 points and a fine, WTF there weren't even cars coming.

yerp stop signs are gayy. everyone beeps when you stop and theres no cars coming.

even if theres someone in front of u and they stop, when u get to the line ur ment to stop again. bullshit!

Yeh haha, when the Parramatta Eel's got into the grand final for the NRL you should have seen the main street in Parramatta, cops everywhere, everyone is still doing burnouts, no one gets fined. They had to call the riot squad lol.

lol thats the wayy. get a heap of people doing burnouts at once so they cant really handle it.

Yeh, don't think they're really active enough to start filling out paperwork on 20 different cars, lol.

lol true that.

nice car btw. kinda like mine but mines an ef. u shud pull that pin stripe off. i had a blue pinstripe like urs and 2 blue dolfin stickers on each side of my car when i got it lol.

Lol think im going to take the stripe off and the black mould thing and get some clear repeaters.
