About my car

(click here to 505)

When it was bought in 1997, this 1986's 505 GR was in a very good shape. The body is perfect and also the engine. Without rust at all, the paint was bright, and when I checked it, there was no oil leakage at all in the owner's garage. Manual instruction, service books, service log were complete. I was very lucky to buy it and inspired to make this car in a perfect condition all the time. Now, 9 years later, the car is still great and there is slight changes in the fascia. I changed the wiper's stick with 205 model which is very popular one in Japan, when I studied there. I also added the corner pole, with dimmed Blue Lion's light at night. The seat was covered with luxury cover as common accessories in luxury cars in Japan.

Rare!!!

CORNER POLE with exotic blue dim light at night

Let's see the cabin. I changed the steering wheel to NARDI with 3 spokes. The handle was made from leather so it's easier to grip comparing to the original one even the diameter is smaller (36 pi). The steering converter also comes from NARDI with blue lion's logo attached to the wheel cap.

Blaupunkt tape was changed to SONY MDX-C500 head unit, an MD (Mini Disc) player with 4x45 W power output. On the left side of the steering column near the headlight stick, I put a remote control to change the MDX settings.

I also changed the gearstick knob to 307 model since the old one has broken. Recently, I finally found the cigarette lighter missing in the picture.

SONY XS-H58, the original SONY Explode Tweeter on the speaker box. Notice of the "BLUE LION" sticker on the wind shield which I bought in Japan.

My audio system mostly comes from SONY XPLOD. The rear speaker shown here is 3-way XS-V6933 with max. power 200W.

Rear windshield film seems too old.... :)

Last month (April), I installed an active subwoofer in the trunk KENWOOD KSC-9902 RV ( 4O, 200W×2)

Lion logo in the center of the steering wheel

New original dop was replaced the old one. I could'nt find the model but it was perfectly fit to the wheel. For the last two years I used SIMEX, rubber wheel made in Malaysia without any trouble.
