yeah the fine was just a cheap shot really. the car is 350-355 all round so it isnt rediculously low or anything. i was gonna lower the back to 340-345 to even it out but having second thoughts about it now. uneven tyre wear and a low exhaust pipe. wouldn't have thought it would be a major defect but it apparently was. im getting the car booked in for new tyres, fix the rear camber and remounting the exhaust if needed. might have to get the exhaust brackets re-welded back on to get the extra clearance which is a pain. i just love my exhaust too much to change it...ha will be eating dry noodles for a while, cant afford the hot water..lol

thanks Rekin. will have to check that RWC place out.

tell me about it...ha. was it really worth a defect notice? i hate it how they make it soo obvious that theyre gunnin for ya, expecially when they chuck a U turn to chase you down. i have to say though, the officer didnt bust my balls which was good, he was just pointing out the obvious. thanks kaz. i might just try popin in close to closing time..ha. as far as i know the car is in tip top shape but will find out soon enough when i go for the WRC.

to easy thanks ash

yep, so i finally got done in the 7yrs of owning the car. just minor stuff that i should have kept on top of but a bother none the less....bad uneven wear on all tyres and my exhaust pipe too low. Ive got a dual N1 exhaust and that second pipe is a bit of a pain to tuck up. The $180 fine hurts abit too..ha.. ah well should have tried my luck and asked for a warning. but back to the noob question, the box ticked says i need a roadworthy cert, where do i get that from? just the local mechanic? so do i just fix the stuff, get a cert and go to vic roads to clear whatever defects were listed. will they look for other good bits that werent listed in the defect? can anyone recomened a good place in S.E burbs to get wheel alignments and camber kits installed? the only place i can think of is traction tyres. cheers

if only they had a seat to sit on and a steering wheel.

are these proper hotdogs....theyre not one of those ones outside the night clubs are they? they are soo dirty but i still eat them anyways...ha. will def have a go if im down the area. what are your opening times and days

yeah im still in but waiting for the end of the group buy to pay too

is the group buy starting or is everyone buying them at $150iddy? can you wack me down for the group buy and see if anyone else wants to join me for the $135 goodness.

i was gonna suggest the same thing.

yep 33's are H1's. so is it a direct plug n play or do i need to hack into the housing? cheers.

is it a simple plug n play for 33's? dont want to hack into the housing or anything. i assume i will have to take up warranty issues with the hk dealer directly and not you? with the hi/low setup i assume that they are both on instead of switching from low to hi? cheers.

dont forget to post up some pics.

get your gf to do it...unless she's got man hands. easier if you remove the airbox and water bottle but not necessary. its a quarter turn, stick 2 fingers in and use the tips to turn the housing.

do you park under a power line? bird pee or discharge perhaps that has gotten to the paint..tree sap maybe? i get the odd white spot once in a while but nothing as crazy as yours.

isnt that lining some sort of fire retardent thing? i may be wrong.

i dunno. that particular ford is a pretty tempting piece of machinery. i would have been shocked if they stole the oddessy instead..ha

i let my bearing whirrr for a good 3 yrs or so before i needed a new clutch and replaced it all then.

thats not a pretty sight. yeah that particular section sees alot of accidents. ive had my fair share of close calls there. the kid probably wanted to play some lan games..lol i dont think he will be playing or walking for a while when his parents have their way with his arse. surprised the kid didnt do a runner..lol. insurance is good.

have you changed your clutch and flywheel lately? do tiptronincs have clutch's and flywheel's? ha...best not listen to me as i dont know what im talking about.

thats gold! "whats as hard as a stone but as light as a feather?.....i dunno, but seriously you look like a fag!"

the word clinic makes me wanna steer clear altogether. theres a fair few reputable workshops on your side of the city.

ha...done and done. ive got most if not all of the streetfighter anime series.

ah that looks perrty. i think ill leave it silver after all. good to see the shroud is still there. answers all my questions.

sounds like you just gave the car to him without running over exactly what you want done. might as well give him your pin number. i paid around 1600 for mine with genuine parts. exhaust studs and gaskets and rocker cover gasket change was included in that price. i think i paid 180 to get my brake pads changed and discs machined. 400 sounds abit excessive.
