Title: Newbie From Lower Hutt
Description: mikeyde-that's me
mikeyde - October 6, 2009 02:57 AM (GMT)
Hi everybody, I bought my 1st altezza a couple of weeks ago after trading in my 1996 celica.
The altezza is a 2001 RS200 auto, it's all pretty stock standard except for the K&N panel filter i put in and the alpine stereo that the car yard kindly swapped outa the celica for me, O and its silver just like what my celica was.
Future mods? I'd like to get a set of aftermarket headers and get rid of the cats (don't know what the laws are about that now) a pair of eyebrows, maybe a bodykit and maybe lowered.
I don't have any photos of the altezza to upload yet but being standard it won't be too hard to imagine what it looks like.
Anyway I stumbled across this site when I was looking for some info on altezzas, I've found it really helpfull, interesting and sometimes funny.

O and hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have the 1200w panasonic amp and 12" rockford fosgate sub up and running, they came out of the celica as well and the altezza has only done 34000kms "apparently".

mikeyde - October 6, 2009 03:19 AM (GMT)
Cheers guys.
Hey xnickx I was reading one of the threads a couple of days ago, can't remember where I found it but you were selling your car for $18000? What was the outcome there? Looks like you spent a fair bit of $ on it.

I nearly bought a white 1 but didn"t like the colour of the interior :D
crazyeyes - October 6, 2009 07:47 AM (GMT)
big hello from another hutt member. (white one.... with club stickers and falken sticker on rear side windows)
best advice now that you own the car is to become a vip member... loads of good stuff to read in members section, discounts in the group buys and servicing
mikeyde - October 6, 2009 08:52 AM (GMT)
hey crazyeyes, how's it going?
The white 1 I saw was a fresh import at a dealer, the interior was a kind of beige/tan colour, thought it might get dirty easy.
mikeyde - October 6, 2009 08:54 AM (GMT)
O and I fully intend 2 become a v.i.p. member :)

Mega meet? That sounds pretty cool, I imagine there were heaps of altezzas, wish I'd been there.

Welcome to the club, Good to see another Wellington member B)
Definitely become a VIP member, there are some good discounts to be had and there is some great info only available in the members section ;) .
I guess We'll have to organise a Wellington meet soon, cant let all the Aucklanders have all the fun :P
Distrb - October 8, 2009 10:31 PM (GMT)
welcome in.
all this talk of a wgtn meet means i really have to get my car running! cant be turning up to an altezza meet not in my altezza!
mikeyde - October 9, 2009 06:44 AM (GMT)
Good 2 see who some of the local members are.
I usually see 4 or 5 altezzas each time on my way 2 and from work but I dunno if any of them are members or not.
Whats up with ur altezza Distrb?

yeah they're everywhere. <_<
mines pretty distinctive, its the one with the dodgy paintwork :( it is a work in progress afterall...
I guess you'll have to be a VIP to find out what happened to Andrew's altezza, yet another reason, Members projects.
mikeyde - October 9, 2009 07:12 AM (GMT)
Dodgy as in how?
I think I'll go sign up for my VIP status now :)

the previous owner thought they could spraypaint... they were wrong. One day I'll get around to a respray, but it doesn't worry me that much, as long as you don't look too close.
mikeyde - October 9, 2009 07:45 AM (GMT)
So it is the one in your avatar pic?

that's the one :)
mikeyde - October 9, 2009 09:37 AM (GMT)
It looks pretty good from here lol
Ard Righ - October 10, 2009 05:30 AM (GMT)
Ahh yes, another Wellington member!! We're a bit short on members in the 04 region I reckon, compared to Auckland.
Judging by how many random Altezzas on the road, we should have hundreds of club members
<_<
You may see my car around too, my car is stock at the moment, though going to start changing that :)
mikeyde - October 10, 2009 07:56 AM (GMT)
The plates I'll remember :)
but what colour is it?

Like most of them these days, Silver :P
It's rather strange, we did have like 4 or 5 white cars in the club, but some of the members sold their cars.
mikeyde - October 13, 2009 06:45 AM (GMT)
Hi 2ToneTezza this is the VIP status musta just happened today so I havn't had the chance 2 check anything out yet but I will.
Just the info and knowledge I've gained so far from even before I became a member has been worth the cost of becoming VIP :D .Excellent site except from the odd norton message telling me the site is not safe? O well :lol:
There's nothing wrong with silver Ard Righ :) I'll be keeping an eye out for your car :)
