  2. No worries... I really want to sell them together. Let me know if you change your mind.
  3. Hey Mark, sorry for the late post. Things got real busy. Not sure if you're still in the market for one but here are the pics. PM me if you're keen, I can try meet up with you half way if it makes it easier.
  4. Hey can you tell me how much it cost you all together including the tune?
  5. Hey mate, I've got a complete factory set cat-back... I'll post up some pics tonight but Im in Sydney. $300 pick up only. Cheers.
  6. You mean like Targa Tasmania or something?
  7. Hey All, Just wondering if anyone owns or has applied for a registration exemption. "A person who will only use the vehicle for designated motorsport activities may also apply for an exemption." --> See RTA Link HERE If you have, can you please tell me what was the process or conditions? I am trying to make a decision wether or not to sell my car or keep it as a dedicated track car. Cheers.
  8. You know the worsed thing about it is that unless Best Motoring or Hot Version come back and makes a special edition episode, we wont see Keiichi Tsuchiya driving hard through the touge. There's really no other show out there that will compare cars like their "Touge Showdown"... If there is let me know!
  9. Yup Newton did a service. Said the oil was badly contaminated with fuel so did an oil & filter change.
  10. Just an update guys. Took the car to Newton Automotives (Blacktown, Sunnyholt Road). Really happy with their service and recommend them . They actually troubleshooted the problem instead of assuming like those idiots at the Warranty place (I'd name and shame them but dont know if I'll be breaking any forum rules if I do??). There was nothing wrong with the engine. It was the computer playing up. Was leaving two of the injectors open causing a flood in the engine. Replaced the chip and presto. Working as new. Fan-freaken-tastic. Cost me less than $500 to fix instead of $1800 ++labour +gst +bad service for a new engine that wouldnt have fixed the problem anyways. Seriously, I wonder how some people are still in business with such bad service. Anyways, all sorted. Thanks for all the help & advice though... much appreciated.
  11. Just trying to get that second opinion... having a hard time finding a mechanic that will do me a written assesment report in case they have to go to court and have to take time off. Called NRMA, and they're good to do it but they only do an external examination (no dismantling) report for $299. Ouch. Thanks Luke will check the Vac Line thinga-ma-jig tonight. lol I'll work it out. So hopefully you're right. Hey ASPS91, where can I apply? Whats the process? Have you been in this situation before?
  12. Thanks for the feedback fellas... As for your questions, its a good ol Camery. Dont know how long its been sitting in the yard but like I said, I took it for a looong test drive and nothing noticable indicated bad fuel in the mix. Speaking of fuel, I filled it up 12 litres to get it to the warranty place. To put it in perspective, Its blowing smoke filled with fuel so badly that it ran out of petrol when I got there. The trip to the warranty place according to google maps was 13km. As much as it hurts, I got to LOL that shit. Thanks Terry, will check out the Traffic Lawyers today. Its been just over a week (11 days) and I've honestly driven the car 3 times. Dealer to home. Home to warranty place. Warranty place to home. I am trying to act as quickly as I can, but I had to wait almost a week before the warranty place could fit me in their schedule. Now that I know their intension (engine replacement\rebuild), I will get a second opinion in writing and then take that up with the dealer again in writing. If it still doesnt resolve it, Hello ACCC.
  13. Hope someone can help me out here... I was just after a home to station and back car. Didnt care about looks just function. I checked it out as best as I can (not a mechanic), found it a bit under powered but didnt care (old car), no oil leaks, no bad idling, no shaking, starts first time every time (still does), all electricals were good, took a loooong test drive, engine oil didnt look to be milky, no smoke, no smell (AT THE TIME). Dealer gave me a 1 year warranty from external company... Bought it... what a sucker... Literally with no exaggeration, that same night the car started blowing lots of white (not blue) smoke with a heavy smell of petrol. Called the dealer, redirected me to the warranty place... fair enough, so I tried to do the right thing and go to the warranty place but they're already talking about an engine rebuild or replacement and the warranty only covers a fraction of the price of that. Dealer and his mechanically A1 "promise" should take resposibility for false advertising but of course... he wont. Anyone had any experience with Fair Trading and or enforcing the Lemon Law on a bad buy like this? Any feed back and advice would be great. Thanks.
  14. My cars, not track prepped. Just a matter of giving it a go. But All good. Will wait for when you all decide on a date.
  15. Hopefully I can go to this... Will depend on the date for me. Any chance we can turn this into a V - Z track day at Wakie or somehting?! Would give us all a chance to meet and greet and to go above & beyond "spirited" driving on public roads without the cops. Plus I'd LOVE to see which set up can crack the best time.
