got me a new EX :-x06

Hello every one

It's good to be here again, I bought a black 2005 v10 Ex 4x4 xlt had 26k miles on the clock
It's like new .
what should I do first for service , because it was sitting in garage for 5 years ? Second what upgrades do you recommend to make it even better? Am open for nice ideas

Thanks

Pics first

Then change all the fluids. Prepare to change a few seals that may have dried out. Really just have to drive and see what leaks. Being in a garage out of the sun may help prevent a lot of the normal setting issues

Yep Pics is coming . I'll take it with my new phone Nokia 1020 when I receive it .

And I'll change all the fluids ( engine, transmission, differential, coolant, break oil )+ spark plugs +fuel filter, air filter.
What else?

Wonderful! Welcome back to the club! Now we need pics!


With a gas engine I would simply change the fluids like mentioned and drive it.

I don't want to disappoint you but today I sold it for bloody outrageous deal
I bought it for 23k ,,,,,,, sold for 46k . ← I couldn't say no $-$

Now it is time to fix and rebuild my 2000 X with new interior and new body paint new face
Grill head lights. + 20'' rims.

What is the best and most comfortable 4'' lift out ther ?

That was a fast turn around, we didn't even get to see pics of it...

Well atleast you doubled your money, make your '00 look nice, and keep whatever cash you have left over.
