2nd Hand 2000 Exalta Sta

[niky]

just bought a secondhand exalta. anong kailangan ko i-watchout or malapit na palitan na parts?

any add-ons you could recommend?

Add-ons? Keep it simple. Maganda na yung porma ng STA. Just have everything detailed and polished.

Don't clean the shifter knob too vigorously. If you get oil or grease on it, it'll eat the rubber, and scrubbing it down makes it worse. I've seen a few old Exaltas (including our former one) with this problem.

Check your alternator and battery condition religiously... all those gadgets take their toll on your electrical system.

Keep your aircon in good condition. Compressor problems are expensive.

Take good care of the leather... the beige seats collect dirt very easily.

Enjoy your car. The Exalta is one great little commuting car. It's soft, comfortable and the airconditioning is great. You could drive it in your sleep!

EDIT: Of course, I've always liked the looks of STAs on BBS mags, but that's personal taste. 15's are a bit too small, 16's or 17's might do the trick. Will make the car slower, but hey, it's a slow car already... you don't exactly buy an Exalta to go fast.
