Well i got some bad news for me but i thought i would share it. When my motor is cold it makes a slight knocking sound when the revs pick up just above idle round 1000-1200. u can only really hear it if u got the bonet popped and u are infront of the motor. Anyhow i told one of the mechanics i work with about it so i showed him the noise and he said " dude your about to spin a bearing". So that wasnt great news but then he said it could be the balancer or a heat shield. ANyhow i had to take my car to this mechanic place coz of a warranty thing and i got him to listen to the noise aswell and wizz bang he said the same thing. Stuffed if i know what im gonna do. I mean it could last for a while but then it might not, engines are unpredictable as im sure u all know. It sucks coz i have only had the car for 2 months and i already have troubles. Combination of little ones and big ones. Maybe i just bought a dud. i can only just afford the car as it is. I tell ya i just wasnt meant to have an easy life.

same thing happened to my mums car. Had to buy a new engine cos she kept drivin it around with the ticking noise problem. If that is what you are talking about i wouldn't drive it till it's fixed.

Tough luck man, my mum knows how you feel.

      Import insurance in 2025

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
