after no street parking decided to go to the car park on roe st (right near china town) i think half my front bumper is still in there :(

could anyone throw some ideas as to some decent car parks which have little-no huge ramps/speed bumps.

cheeers.

You mean low car friendly?

I have coilovers but it's not ridiculously low so I don't scrape shit, have no dramas with the carpark at Perth station. Throw a button clutch and a 2way into the mix though, and carparks are always an exciting adventure :(

last time i drove a car with a button clutch was a hire car nissan pulsar i think about 2yrs ago, that thing was a disgrace haha dropped a good skid tho especially when u were just trying to take off normally.

yeah didnt even leave first gear, had about 10 cars waiting behind me last night, was good times.

excellent feed back. cheers for ur input guys.

*Note to self, never go in there again.

im running hks coilovers, and get in and around cbp fine.

although i dont have my coilovers at a extreme low. just take it slow up the ramps and it gets over them fine.

my car is pretty damn low, have GAB Sports adjustable coilovers and always seem to be able to park at ROE ST CPP all the time no problems, just have to go sideways at every turn... suspension has always been okay

"go sideways at every turn" -- so that was you in Tokyo drift? :)

with lowered suspension and a body kit you're always going to scrape on things

with practice you will learn exactly where the front of your car is and how much of an angle you need to take to get up certain ramps etc

i have also found the car park under the library to be quite friendly

"Go sideways at every turn" I think he just means take the hill at an angle and very slowly.

The Alexander Lib carpark is def more friendly if you can get a park there. Less level changes and still close to everything in Nthbridge.

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
