Lighthouse - no.

North/South Beach - no.

Robertson Pie Shop sounds cool. Can go up Macquarie Pass and down through Jamberoo. Great driving roads.

Again, I'm not keen to cruise with dickheads. It's hard enough to drive these things without getting attention as it is let alone travelling in a group that appears to be hooning.

+1

meet somewhere like albion park rail maccas then cruise up?

anyone else have experience wif WAS?

My white R33 is currently sitting in the workshop of WAS.

Kon is a great bloke. Just don't expect to rock up and have it booked in for the next day for things like tunes etc.

He's great, but busy!

Does top notch work too...

PS: i'm from Wollongong, but it's been around 8 - 10 months since my Skyline has graced the roads of Wollongong (Other then a 10 minute stint up the freeway a few weeks ago)

Whats yours getting done there?

I drove past the other day and just saw commonwhores so was a bit turned off.

It's in for a full tune.

Plus oil flush, coolant flush, and a few other things like a few PS lines changed.

Currently it's at the state if you can get it to start, it'll barely idle, won't rev much at all.

I KNOW I won't get a phone call, until it's basically driving like factory

I've given up on servicing my car now-a-days, I just can't be bothered jacking it up and doing all the shit, that it'll be going to WAS for everything from now on.

Kon does work on a lot of Holdens and Fords as he loves V8s, BUT if you go by enough, you'll see those Holdens and Fords being challenged for numbers by the WRX, Skylines, and other imports.

He deals in them all, and his quality of work is TOP NOTCH.

I just moved to Kiama last week, would be good to organise a cruise and meet some sau ppls..

Does anyone know any good workshops in the area for general servicing?

Cheers

Johno

I'm interested in a cruise this Sunday. Be good to meet at Kiama Leagues Club car park, an maybe go for a cruise to Gerringong or ????. open for suggestions.

Ive used Screamnperformance at Fairy Meadows and if you dont mined the drive JEM @ Ingleburn 45 minutes from the Gong

cheers

Yeah im from the Gong also.

Bezerkly was my choice but just do most work myself now.

Ha ha ha, I went the other way, used to do everything myself, now I just can't be f**ked jacking the car up after the conversion, so I just pay Kon @ WAS now to do it all.

    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
    • Interesting post(haven't watched the vid). I'm surprised companies can be fined for selling products that are specifically meant for certain applications.  How can you force a customer to use or apply your products in 100% the way intended? People have been misusing products since they were invented. Heck, I ate dessert last night with a soup spoon. Does that mean the spoon manufacturer could be fined? And what of the customers who actually want to use the product for its intended use?   I'm sure we could discuss and debate this for a while, but this is an introduction thread and I dont mean to take over it.
