I can guarantee you would not have any issues if the gauge u got had lower ks than your current gauges. Harden the fuck up princess.

Tough Cefiros & Other 4drs
funkymonkey replied to funkymonkey's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
rewiring the ignition wiring. worked out it was missing like a kent cos 3 coilpacks were munted. picked up a full set of 4 CA18 coilpacks for $80 from a bloke who owned a Datto 1200 ute and pulled 3 of em out and about to chuck em in. While I was at it decided to revarnish and wrap the coilpacks so they last a bit longer. Gotta go to South Dandy and pick up the coil winding varnish and heatproof insulation tape though. Maybe on the weekend or something. Also pulled apart the wiring loom and redoing it. So once all that is put together, all back in the car and should run like new Then off to the workshop to get a roady, then advertising for sale While it was parked outside my house (granted for 2 months straight) some kent's tried to jam a key in to force the lock and snapped the key off inside it. Luckily I got central locking alarm on it, so don't have to use a key to get into it. Still... shit of a job trying to fish a key blade out of a barrel, might have to take the door apart to pull the barrel out. -
I use adblock as well, with the Adblocker elements addon, lets me block avatars, sigs etc on posts so that it doesn't look like I'm on a forum all day at work jizzy, don't lower it, it'll look like ass. Srs. The reason it look good now is cos it's far away from the fender so your eye kinda makes you think that it's flush, when in reality it's all over the joint. If you bring the fender closer people can spot how mexican it is pretty easily. Also when you said you were gettin it rolled, i thought you meant this: see how it's rolled out? not just lipped.

if you're goin from Apple to Android and you don't get a Google or unlocked phone, prepare to be restricted by carrier branding shit running in the background draining your battery. Telstra is the worst, Voda/3 is almost bad, and optus is OK. Also you don't get OS updates straight away cos it works differently: Apple OS update process: Apple -> You (via iTunes) Android OS update process: Google -> Manufacturer (HTC, Samsung etc who put their wrapper around Google's "vanilla" OS) -> Carrier (Telstra, Voda etc who put their wrapper on the manufacturer's wrapper) -> You I know guys who are still running 1.6 (currently up to 2.2 with 2.3 about to come out) on their phones because the manufacturer couldn't be arsed wrapping newer versions, which means the carriers don't get shit, which means you have a slim hope in hell of gettin an update. Most people with HTC's on Optus I know had to wait 6 months after Google released their vanilla OS to get an update from Optus. This sucked cos the update included Swype which everyone was raving about when it came out... 6 months before. All cos Optus could brand the OS and put their shitty apps on it (which you can't uninstall). Only way around it is to "root" your phone (ie jailbreak) and put a vanilla OS on it direct from google, with a couple of tweaks to make it work on your phone. This is why carriers love the Android phones, and sell it much cheaper and push it harder than the iPhone (which Apple pushes for them). iPhone = sell your soul to Apple Android = sell your soul to mobile carrier

paint looks hot. if you pumped and rolled your guards, why does it still have a lip? anyways, that wheel fitment looks ok, don't bother cambering and other silly shit, if you're keeping it that height don't worry about it.
-
sweet, was just about to pick up a pair of lithiums for the battery grip i just got for my D90. Got any discount codes or referral codes?
-
bez, spoke to the guy you gave me the number to. he thought I was on crack, but I told him we'll be priming and painting and all he has to do is plastic weld so he agreed to it. world's first golf to have a VE holden rear bumper

Tryna Import My Skyline
funkymonkey replied to Jumma Jumma's topic in Importing, Compliance, Modification Laws & Regulations
As much as this is gonna hurt to do, chop the car into two, piss the rear half off (after you pull out the LSD I guess), ship the front half to oz. In WA, find a car that's got an almost dead engine or soemthing, get the rego on it (mail it in), then swap the engine and all the parts over from the half cut. Probably the easiest way to get most of your old car on the road in oz. You'll make some cash back on the panels from the old car in NZ, and maybe some cash from the parts you pull out of the car in WA. Probably not much tho. -
anyone know any shops that do plastic bumper repairs?

oh no sorry I didn't mean to imply eneloops were cheapies. I meant Eneloop "or" cheapies... if you get what I mean.I used to use Eneloops before I discovered Powerex's. The Eneloops are on par with the 2400mAh Powerex's, but the 2700mAh's are in a class of their own.

i hear a disposable income is kinda cool these days. </sarcasm>

Tryna Import My Skyline
funkymonkey replied to Jumma Jumma's topic in Importing, Compliance, Modification Laws & Regulations
you could pull the engine and goodies out of the car, chuck it in a crate, send it over here and put the bits in an R32 you buy locally? -
HTC Desire HD? Fuck yes. Only phone I'd choose over an iPhone 4, not so much a jailbroken iPhone 4 tho. Don't expect the same battery life as an iPhone tho, expect to have to charge it by the end of the day every day. Other than that, it's awesome. Might wanna hold off a month for the Google Nexus S (built by samsung) or the Sony X10. Nexus S is like the new model Google phone (so updates n shit aren't provider dependent like with HTC, Samsung etc), Sony X10 is like an awesome piece of hardware running android... probably the best "phone" cos Samsung (korea) and HTC (china) aren't really up there with the build quality of Sony (japan/norway).

I get Powerex 2700mAh batteries. They require a digital charger (so you can't just jam em in your regular ones) best to get a charger from them too. Results in no memory, and they don't dissipate a charge if you don't use em straight away like Eneloops and cheapies. I've left some for months in a case, chucked em in and they still had 95% charge. http://www.mahaenergy.com/store/viewitem.asp?idproduct=415 amazingly awesome and way way more powerful than most other batteries on the market. I refuse to use anything else in my cameras.

alex. that's the same grille I got as well. Probably end up with same colour too, maybe a shade darker. but I'll be rockin wider wheels and more low Oh and real xenons, rather than those knockoff HID's he's sporting. Oh god. I've become a Dub Snob.

What's The Point Of Having A Horn
funkymonkey replied to Bizkit's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
just to throw in a curve ball, sometimes accidents in carparks are not covered by insurance. a lady scraped my bumper while taking a corner in a carpark. 1 witness and security camera evidence still didn't help. RACV just said they wouldn't cover it because it din't happen on a road. -

and no sydney spec failside knockoff kit or transexual tangerine paintjob But mad retspec for not caring about our opinions, same reason why I'm modding a golf. I couldn't give a flying fuck what you muppets think about it.

if you leave it at the height it is, it shouldn't matter if it's mexican... cos it doesn't look that bad. you'd only wanna camber if you're gonna drop it and tuck it... which I highly doubt you're gonna. so don't bother. it doesn't stick out that far does it?
