what an odd title...

shit man I'm in Bris this week!

hey mate how come the oil temp gauge isn't at zero? aren't they stepper motor and electronic therefore should read zero when off?

agreed

err, no his income would be around $122,000 (pre tax)... that's the 1600+ a week after tax /takes off accountant hat/

seriously no one want this? good quality end tanks and core etc...

oh i missed that part about the Wall Street nice. i always see the guys from 101 at bisq in the mornings lol

have you guys who put xenon projectors into non-projector headlights (eg. R33) used a trim bezel or make a fibreglass surround? got some close up pics of them with the lights off? i take it all you boys from the UK found this thread from here? http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/67640-ga...gtr-revamp.html

hey rockability - is it fibreglass?

rubs hands together with evil laugh... oh and I'm a tax guy with Mech Eng background (!?)

someone get me a z-tune louvred bonnet... that would be great

from vicroads... http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyre...5E3/0/VSI26.pdf

The firm doesn't happen to start with "B" and end in "R" would it? My best mate works as a stock broker in 101... I'm in 147 at 'one of those big accounting firms' there. Heaps of my mates are lawyers and work in 101...

I'm SO lazy lol

about that loop, SK... can i just get that?

going to need some more pics mate looks great

damn right it does happen... it's called stolen cars and rebirths! step 1. acquire 'repairable right-off' or statutory right off step 2. acquire* perfect vehicle that is the same, but not banana'd step 3. remove and swap plates step 4. present to relevant government registration body for re-registration step 5. sell for mucho cashola *may be acquired by non-legal means thankfully data-dot technology is starting to make this more difficult; stolen cars tend to end up in parts rather than rebirthed. If only they sold data dot paint to general consumers so i could unleash it all over my car!

NO that's illegal mr west. plus you'll not get one into the country without a CAMS L3 on a side note, see all those nice pink arrows? a repairer has gone over it and marked where the body has moved... looks like the whole shell is twisted in the direction of the arrows

It was initially done by race cars so that there was no reflection off the bonnet... So no, it's was not a ricer option in the past. Maybe it's being done to look 'cool' now, but it actually serves a practical purpose, especially when the bonnet is matte instead of gloss. same reason why you don't trim your dash in creme leather (well unless you like to be distracted by the sun off the dash).

there used to be a doc on vicroads website explaining this... but i can't find it. since when did they move to crappy scanned PDFs instead of printed PDFs so you can't use the search function?? damn fools

FFS i'm just trying to say be considerate!

no offence But seriously, if you can't see how this may not be in the business owner's interests, then that's fine. A lot of guys have their car worked on by Racepace, I for one try to stay out of Ben's way because he is so busy. OK so it's not my shop but if you put yourself in the the business' shoes, they may not feel it is appropriate for people who don't own cars in the shop to wander in. In this age of litigation, a well run mechanical workshop will not allow any non-workers into the shop because of the high risk for potential injury and subsequent legal action. That's fine if you disagree munch, but business is business... how many of these so-called tuner shops have been and gone, that are more of a 'fast & furious' garage where everyone is mates, then BANG 3 months go by and they've become insolvent. I think I'm done here. yeah mate i know Alex is close to there... maybe i misunderstood your initial post. like i said, not having a go, but just trying to give you the heads-up that's all. Ben is a great operator - it will run well once it's done - good luck!

Hey Shan will you be in the city anytime soon? I'm here every day this week So you have 56 and 77 for me; still waiting on 109? cheers Marcus

no offence but have you checked with Ben? it's not a Dyno day - I don't think it's fair that a mob come down to "check it out!!" it's a business after all (and a good one at that)

locking in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
