thanks for the info peeps. Yea..i'd definately go for quality work over convenience ...so looks like its a trip to West Coast Wheels for me.

Make sure you give him a call and book. I know he gets very busy :P

And not only does he do quality work, they are a great bunch of guys there that are always happy to help!

Yeah as Brad said we fully endorse his work here at WA Suspensions and would not recommend going anywhere else, I have seen some of the other companies and how the “roll” or for a better word “bash out” the guards, well worth the trip :P

Brad has my wheels there now. They are the silver "Lenso" ones.

He will put some tyres on them and fit them when i get down there next which will be a few weeks.....and yes, he will probably have to roll my guards to fit the rears in the guards

any guard rollers, that do similar quality jobs like WCW (as in use the right tools), that isnt an hour and a half away?

i live up in joondalup area, and the trek down there is :P

the tool boxes of a lot of the guard rolling people i have seen consist of a hammer and a block of wood :)

Quality work is worth the drive there. I live in Ellenbrook and always happy to drvie the hour and a half to get there. It doesnt take long to get the work down so get it down, then go for a coffee or something in Mandurah and drive back home. Make a day of it :P

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
