Hi guys n Gals,

well my pride and joy got shafted by some space cadet SAAB driver today :kiss:

i was coming up to a red light camera intersection and the lights changed, i didn't want to risk a fine so put the anchors on and pulled up

a sec later i hear a screach look into my rear vision mirror and bang crazy bat was day dreaming and run right up my ar#e .........not impressed

rear is all out of wack and my exhurst is farked, just before the cat its bent almost at a right angle. car feels a little unsettled in the back now to but might just be me.

anyway i'm insured with Famous ......tried to call, but getting no answer just some message telling me to call back later (didn't specify working hours), not overly impressed with that.

has anyone had a claim with them ??? How were they to deal with ??

cheers

I can vouch for Famous, 2 of my mates wrecked jap imports without a third party involved, each car had been modified with the usual.

The representative came out and had a look, lodged the paper work and it was done!

I am also with famous myself, haven't needed to make a claim though. So far I have been impressed.

One thing you have to remember is that there office is in Perth, so if you are on the east cost you have to remember the time difference.

Unfortunately they don't have an emergency line though, so you have to do it all in working hours.

Cheers

just so you are aware, famous are in WA, so they are a couple of hours behind in time for their opening hours...I've made a not at fault claim with them few years ago, very efficient. If you have called outside working hours you will get that message.

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
