Dan - I think your issue might be a bit different to the norm, You're trying to get an online store to "replace" something for you, they've already got your money! This whole debarkle is 100% loss for them! God knows you don't expect these reputable companies to provide customer service! /sarcasm

Bad luck Russ Best advice: Fix up anything obvious. Say you lost the slip the copper wrote you. Then tell the pit inspector they did you for a leaky exhaust gasket or something and that you got it fixed! See what happens - worst that can happen is they pick some other minor thing and note it down on the work order, give you an extension and tell you to fix it. Don't listen to the noobs/self righteous posters above

while we're on the HTPC thing - Here's my complete and utter f*cking WASTE of almost 1500bux. P.S. It's the DVD-player looking thing with the single Blue LED on it

Nice post. At last a thread worth replying to in the WA section! Yes, there's lots of cowboys out there! I think every industry/specialist field is like this. Take IT for example, there's generally a lot more than 2 ways to accomplish the same thing. Option A and Option B. The correct way is often determined by experience in the end, ie Shop A might do something a certain way and possibly a better way due to later down the track it can cause Issue A. Shop B might not know about Issue A and continue down it's only line of experience to achieve the same outcome. Ditto with software development - Although add another 9384938 ways to do things and you're pretty much on the money. It comes down to the end fact, either you learn it yourself and make your own conclusions and methods to achieve what you want (As you have expressed above). OR place your trust in a Shop with the years of experience that you cannot achieve in your short timeframe. Now, I don't claim to be an expert in cars. Although I do not know a lot more than the average bear when it comes to diagnosing/problem solving and/or "the way things work" I like to investigate EVERYTHING myself before taking it to a workshop to do (some previous dodgy-jobs I've done on my car I've had to re-do because of this) but hey. It's all fun in the end. And regarding Point #4 - Customer service. I've found this pretty much doesn't even EXIST with the motor vehicle industry except for a few shops. Maybe years of know-it-all tyre-kickers and whingers have soured thier willingness to help the average Joe. A quick courtesy call, a technical explanation of an issue, FIXED pricing, accurate quotation, accurate timeframe estimates for jobs, etc etc (I'll stop now) Good luck in your pursuit for knowledge by the way

wow that was both amazing cool super and awesome i loved every minute the thread i mean, not the video

Adobe Photoshop

Cost ?

GK sold out pisses me off Now my mates can't come ps sux2bthem i got our tix agess ago

OK, Had a noisy third gear. yes. only 3rd. Replaced the box oil with Castrol VMX80 and NULON additive. Was a tad better for a while.... NOW.. This mofo is just getting louder! Now its 2nd and 3rd are noisy as hell. 4th is WHISPER QUIET! and 5th is an abortion its that loud when cruising! Diagnosis anyone? Cost? DIY maybe? Help me out here..... Cheers,

As long as your "Pawn shop" helmet is Australian Standards Certified, and has the correct sticker (with the ticks on it) it will pass scrutineering. You're not going to be riding a bike with it if it's just for drags, so spending $95489458 on a helmet is stupid. Hell, the whole helmet IN your car at the drags and driver training days for AMATEURS like us is completely stupid. 9-second drag car and V8 supercars, yeah, then its' warranted.

holy crap! The redbook now has imports listed! About TIME!

Always helpful with 5 people in the car and tackling an up-driveway situation! (looks at own ripped out front guard:() Who cares, lower looks BETTER

They're exclusive to JustJap - Interesting if they're just reselling them :|

And totally bullshit too! There is no way that bottom shock leg can come undone! Besides the fact you turn them TIGHT, the bottom of the shock can't TURN! Sheesh!

it was a roflcopter instead wasnt it dan

Dude, I dig the idea.. P.S. Those photochopped rims look absolutely SWEET!

I've got the G4 Coilovers in my car, price/performance you can't beat them. They're rebuildable so when they come to the end of thier life, just fix them back up. I've got the Street Spec ones, and find them pretty hard, I've got them on mid-damper settings. My car only does a few km's a day, but even then sometimes the hardness of them takes it toll on your anal ring over an unexpected bump! BUT that's the best bit, the car handles BEAUTIFULLY. I had the wrong shock legs supplied by www.justjap.com (the internally threaded bottom bits if you will) which made the car sit rediculously low on the highest setting. One call to Justjap had them express-post me some new ones to fit immediately! A++ Customer service! OH, and I fitted them myself too - piece of piss (NB. I had a hoist to use but!)

I got the same issue - my dodgy install I guess - But I still need an anti-drain valve! Can It be fitted near the fuel filter in the engine bay at all ?

Ah, sweet! Now it no longer grinds my gears on this lovely friday
