Wasn't the bumper itself, it was the black under guard thingy that was making a horrible noise along Wanneroo rd... I fear I've left great chunks of plastic along the road just past Marangaroo drv... :w00t:

Mum told me about that, thats real bush mechanics spec there :w00t:

I know... My old man would be chuffed with my effort...

Go on fibrevision, match THAT using only twine, electrical tape and a pair of scissors! :rofl:

Lol. Yeh, i was thinking about the splash guard 2day, how it mite drop down. Sorry, I completely over looked it today! As long as you can drive it, and you'll be the laughing stock at the mechanics now.

Mum told me all about your visit, including running out of petrol... :w00t:

Hey all, Andrew got Yellowed on the Anti-Lag cruise last Friday night, and had til today to get rid of it. Last night He (Fei-Sti Rex), Mark (Marko_R34GTT) and yours truly (NA_Goodness) had to do some work to get it ready for the pits today, which he thankfully past, and the yellow is no more!!

In the 5 hours we were on my front verge, we managed to change his brake pads (the indicators had been grinding for 2 months before we realised what the noise was), swapped Mark's and Andrew's front bars, removed the side skirts, and changed his park lights (blew about 3 of them as well :ermm: )

Anyhoo, I'm just throughing some pics up for your entertainment. It isnt the best garage (on the side of the road in the pitch black ;)) but his car wouldnt go into my garage cos the front bar scrapes... Wonder why we're removing it? :P And it doesnt usually take me 5 hours to do brakes, but with no light, shit tools, no hoist, and two guys who keep distracting me... It took a while.

Enjoy!

And we had just put the wheel on, tightened it up, removed the jack, stood back to admire a job well done with the brakes, and...

and everyone...

NEXT BACKYARD JOB AFTER STEVEN'S PLACE IS AT BRENDAN'S... HE HAS A HOIST!!!

Yeh, the side skirts had a bit of double sided sticky tape, but didnt affect it at all. The hardest part was getting Marko's bumper off... Andrew's was held on with 4 screws :)

I have a large garage with plenty of lighting, except Andrew's car won't get in cos the front bar scrapes... Slight problem.

Cheers Ryan, I have more, but they're pretty shit.

Brendan, you have a hoist at your house??? Your not looking for a housemate who cant afford the rent... are you? (Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes...) I want a hoist :banana: Or at least a trolley jack, or a garage we can get cars into ;)

Mark, do you have any pics of your dodgy front bar? Didnt get any of the "paint" and I want to see this number plate mount :D

    • You could check/calibrate that with a thermometer, we have long glass thermometers at work which go from -10 to +150°c, they are pretty cheap too I believe,  as monkey fisted soldiers tend to break them, and getting new ones don't seem to send red flags to the people that hold the purse strings Edit: after a google they apparently cost about $80, but, digital ones seem to be much cheaper at around $40

    • Me, I would happly spend some more coin on better tyres for my street car  Will they work, yes, of course, but why substitute some dry grip/braking distance, and wet weather grip/braking distance on what is really old tech to save some coin on your "precious" street car In the end it might not be you that farks up, it's the thousands of other idiots on the street that you need to worry about  For a street car that gets some "fun time", I have found that a quality tyre that can handle dry, wet, cold (Canberra gets pretty cold) and hot conditions, which may costs a little more, is great insurance  From my experience with them (driving around Goulburn in the winter) the RE003's are pretty poor in cold and/or wet conditions on the street If RS4's didn't hate gripping in the cold I would be running them always on the street,  great in the dry, OK in the wet, but, they do hate the cold, with a passion, I run PS5's year round now, basically, I've found the PS5 to be a great year round street tyre for all conditions, they last well, and are mid range pricing wise TL;DR. Tyre choice is probably like what brand and grade oil you should use, ask 10 people, and get 10 different answers... LOL
