Shane: Noel and I were chatting about the projects and time taken to complete them tonight. It all boils down to one thing - PREPARATION.

If you start out blind and just think I want this, and just add bits until you think you have it right, you will always be disappointed with the hack of a job at the end of the day and you will always spend twice as much and it will take twice as long.

Before any great project you have to sit down and write out your goal. Write down a list of EVERY item you think would be needed to achieve that goal. Then take it to someone who knows what they're on about (not some cash junkie workshop that only wants to sell you parts that look bling or might be bits he has to get rid of coz they been on the shelf for a while). Once you have all the information you need, take your list to another place and get a second opinion. If there are differences in opinion, ask why, then go somewhere else reputable until you get two well known and good quality workshops to agree on what it will take to achieve your goal. Then you proceed with a plan of attack to get everything done.

Once you have broken it down and know what you need and how to go about it, all the legalities etc. , then you will have a smooth operation.

Either that or just FRIGGIN ASK ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!

Then you wouldn't have to spend so much money on crap you didn't need.

Yeah BOI!!!

lol ill walk on him.

lol!!

hows my fist sound..??

I dunno, hows a criminal record, and an expensive civil suit sound to you?? Honestly marki, we've been through this before. Get over it.

dnt worry its not just me i knw of others that arnt too fond of u. its just the world as u say

What, you know a few people on this forum who aren't fond of me? How genuinely sad this makes me. I know people who think the same of you, does it really matter at the end of the day? No, not really, unless your seriously vested in making everyone on this forum like you. I don't know what your social status is Marki, but I don't depend on this forum for friends.

DAN, whats the total?

Dunno mate, the lift pump was $130 but the filler I won't know until it arrives. The express air freight from USA he said would only be $50 and will take 3-5 days. But not sure on the actual cost of the item. Just fix me up when it get in.

K brudda?

And that's all that matters.

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay  
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the piss  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot!
