What car (trim) have you got? The body kit and wheel set suggest CF ES Sport but the engine bay has hydraulic power steering suggesting something else (newer cars are meant to have electronic PS).

Mods can be put into 3 broad groups: Performance, convenience and cosmetic. Basically any of them comes down to how much money you want to spend and what skills or access to skills (mechanics etc.) you have.

As long as Club CJ is around there is plenty of back reading on mods etc. and enough people to ask for suggestions, ideas or technical questions.


Awesome! Im from Thomastown so not too far :)
Also its an ES ;D good spot haha. I dont really know much mechanics wise but i'm definstely open to learning and having you guys help me out!


Bit close to festive season but lets look at organizing a meeting at Maccas in the new year along with other members that wish to come.
Just food, general chat, viewing of our rides and mods, exchange of ideas and mods we have done and intend doing all first hand making it possible to get an immediate response of pros and cons. Perhaps chuck anything you don't need, that could be of interest to someone, at a price??!! in your boot.

Compliments of the season! To you all!!

Itl fit as much as it needs, the left side screw will only fit in as the right won’t reach but itl be fitted very snug even without the screw so no need to worry if that happens!

The K&N filter might not fit your airbox. As your box has the short clips it is the newer design with a different filter. You would need K&N 33-3015 instead.

Don't need either screw, the bonnet does a great job of holding it down when on the move.

When I changed my air filter I noticed the one screw I use was not there, had hoped off and was inside the airbox again. no chance of it going inside the engine because of the filter. Also took a few photos and pleased to see the inside past the filter is like new, spotless and so clean. You can clearly see the difference between the side before and after the filter.
