  1. Free bump, SEXY ass rims Any rim damage?
  2. Interesting, thanks for that.... weird noises are usually alarms for concern, and this is rather not "normal". I'll keep an eye out for changes in loudness
  3. So I'm trying to determine whether its my bearings or just normal noise from pineapples. I only noticed it because I changed to a super silent exhaust. Symptom: Driving dead straight on highway at 110kmh, decelerating to 100kmh I get a growling rumbling vibration regardless of clutch engagement. Doesn't happen on low speeds, and regardless of changing lanes. Very noticeable decelerating at certain speeds but not all speeds. The sound is not super loud, and its soft but noticeable. Now i have pineapples setup for traction, anyone else with pineapples have any noticeable sounds at high speeds, mainly when letting off the accelerator? At least I can rule out the pineapples. I've checked both my left tires for play but they're solid as a rock, (only check left side coz Mrs said she thinks its the left side) I don't wanna go buying parts without narrowing it down, if I'm out of luck researching I'll take it into the shop
  4. I too have a similar problem I get a grumbling, vibration at any speed between 100km -110kmh and it happens mainly on deceleration with clutch engaged and disengaged. I narrowed it down to wheel bearings, but I don't know which one it is.... I jacked up the car to check for play in the left side wheels, because that's where the noise is coming from, wondering if I need to pull off the rotors to check for play.
  5. Just drop the whole exhaust and inspect... drive up on car ramps, shouldn't be too much of an issue for a weekend job, at least you'll start to eliminate possibilities You'll be surprised on what you find, it's like a kinder surprise in there!
  6. I hope my address update goes through this time, it got missed the first time and now i'm renewing Sent an email as per instructions.
  7. They still have to do their rounds if scheduled. Other times they will be doing the flashing thing. And the schedule is in full force. I'd be more cautious. Even drove the daily in today on a Friday before the long weekend! No chances, had enough of supporting the Vic Police financially. Sif my Tax isn't enough
  8. Which part of Melbourne?
  9. Cops are in full force this week, and over the long weekend. All the Traffic Management Units are rostered for patrol so just be cautious. Not that it's anything to people who drive responsibly, but if you have a moded up car, be fore warned about being "randomly" pulled over for defect checks. Reminder that exhausts must be below 90dB (which is stupid because my car does 94dB from factory, either way I've lost). Still kind of a pointless political push operation as people are still dying on the roads, just an excuse for a revenue raiser. ANYWAY, you have been given the heads up.
  10. hks adjustable height and damper coilovers- $700 selling due to an upgrade to cusco zero 2 coiloversCondition? Rust? Leaks? Bushes/Cracks? Top Bolt threads? Pics?
  11. btw what's a blue battery triangle??
  12. Cool thanks, at least I have time to prep!
  13. Fixing up my paperwork but came accross this: f) Noise emission level is limited to 75dB(A) at 30 metres. Competitors who fail the drive-by 75dB reading will get 1 (one) chance to rectify the problem and will be excluded if the car fails on a second reading there will be no exceptions.

    Cops seem to be out alot lately, I'm figuring its to do with the numbers game since it's almost June 30. They tend to try and catch up for the EOFY, up til about Sept, when they do as much work as possible, then go somewhere and die for a while.
  15. Can you get a dB meter app on your phone and do a dB test for me? I can expect an EPA in the mail soon, lol
  16. think it was going on ebay for the last time as well, seller pulled the car off market...
  17. awww *sadface
  18. I got pulled over today, as you would... as my car probably does 112dbs or there abouts, he only took down my details and my phone. I have a valve controller that shuts up the exhaust. He said he wanted to go back and do some checks later (he was on a bike). Should I expect an EPA in the mail?

    ohaithar! yea it was farkered, i normally leave later when I take my car out, but man that was a bitch of a day.... think i wont even be able to drive my beloved to work anymore...
  20. Advice given to me by my bikey friends, go to a shop, any shop, try on, find the brand size etc, then shop online! The only time you get good deals is when they're on clearance, but that hardly ever happens, and usually low end stuff never goes cheap. that's what they told me

    How about we all get out and walk? Seems to be kind of heading that way with Greens, Road Rules and densely populated everything. Oh but wait, I might get a ticket for "speeding" (walking too fast) or "tail gating" (trying to get past granny on the sidewalk). Are they going to defect me for farting?
