Hey SKYLVIA,

I was after getting the same done to mine. I went to Quickfit in Fyshwick the other day and was quoted $230 a piece for respraying and getting the gutter rash sanded out. Was told they would be brought back to new condition. I'm about to get a quote from 'wicked wheels' which is a mobile type van that comes to you so will let you know what price I get from them, but to answer your question it can definately be done. Don't know how well it would go if you tried it yourself though.

I had Jax Fyshwick repair my Volks, they did an excellent job - Respray, re machine (for gutter rash) and they even left the Volk racing sticker on it, all I had to do was say that I wanted to keep the sticker - all for only $225.00 per wheel.

I highly recommend that you go see them.

So I take it you can drop off the wheels to them and they'll do the lot? Ie the tyres can be on the rim?

Yeah, I had tyres on my rims when I took them in.

They'll take a day or two to do them so its best if you drop them off.

      Don't think that can fit in physically. Are you referring to this?    If it happens again, I'm going to get the nismo ones.

      I bought the 1/18 scale celica and nsx from Justin and they are very detailed and good quality. I will definitely be interested in others in the series as they come out

      Just install a grease nipple into the centre of the outer steel of the FUCA. Make sure the bushes aren't long enough to touch each other underneath that nipple. Cut a few mm off each if need be. Then you can push grease in there while it is all assembled. That was the very first thing I did (to all 4 ends) of the FUCAs on my 32 when I put Whiteline adjustable bushes into them. They would squeeze the grease out real fast, and I could squeeze it back in faster.

      @GTSBoy I found the issue (sort of) when I took apart the bushing again, it was completely dry inside! When I experimented with it, all the grease would push out when I would compress the bushings. I wonder if this has anything to do with me putting in the poly bush first on both sides and then pushing in the metal barrel. Maybe I should have put in the metal barrel first then the rubber bushings so the spread pattern is different.   It's fixed (for now).

      Can't put strut back

      Just redid that entire job. 4 hours, but tightened everything properly. Had to jack the rotor instead of having the car on blocks as there was no room for the FUCA arms to tighten and the j arm. All good now. Cheers for the help!
