Hi guys,

just got a 32 and need a few things done

Prob could do with a propper service and i has no tools so will need a name for servicing + also maybe re-install of aircon (was removed by previous owner)

need the suspension re-doing (coilys winding up and alignment and tweak for more grip etc.)

and need a good auto elec who knows about car alarms as i need the viper alarm in the car looking at and the door trigger wiring in

so if you know of a good workshop you can recomend in Launceston i'll be very glad to hear

Thanks,

Tom

for the alarm id be going to talk to Matt or Arther at auto barn in kings meadows

wheel alingment head to quick fit

and a basic service can be done by really any-1, boost automotive, fuel tech, rons automotive

Wayne Nichols at Parkside automotive.

70 Bathurst St Lonnie

He prepares my R32 gtst circuit car and is fantastic.

He also has a great auto elecy on site

He's probably the most competitive on price... some others are soooo expensive

well the service is going to have to be pretty extensive

will be getting all the fluids changed including ps and hicas (unless i get a lock bar sorted)

need a proper alignment and ride heights changing, camber adjusted etc etc

Rocket_Rosco - what exactly does he do race prep wise? engine tuning, suspension, corner weighting, or just general servicing?

how is he price wise?

and how badly does he mark up prices of oils etc? (would it be cheaper for me to but what i want him to change?)

Sorry for the long time to reply, have been away from the computer for days.

for an example, Ford charged one of Wayne's new customers $355 for a basic service on a EB Falcon and didn't even fill up the windscreen washer bottle. Wayne quotes $120 for the same service and he does it properly.

Give him a call with all the things you'd like done and he'll give you an idea of price.

thanks for that mate, may have to wait a week or two so i have enough cash to get him to do everything i need but i think i'll give him a try

Rons automotive, I have never seen a normal car in his work shop, all's that they seem to do is work on imports, which must tell you something. they are all to happy to help and dont charge through the roof.

boost automotive, i was there today putting the car over the pits and looking around and talking to the guy they seemed to have it all worked out,

If i was taking my import some where to get worked on, it would be one of these two places, yes there are other good mechenics out there but you want some one who works on them all the time and not just guessing on what they are doing

thats my two bob worth and why is my spell checker not working any more?????

thanks guys

looks like the abs unit is on the way out so the full service will have to put on hold

anyone know anywhere who is good with brakes and things?

i just need somewhere that can take the abs unit apart and put new seals in (can provide them if need be)

Tas Brakes are they guys to go to about brakes. they are on the corner of margaret and fredrik? street.

Simon in there is very very pedantic and i have never seen or heard a bad thing about them.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
