Morning Mangs,

TFIT.

One of my tyres went down (thinking it was the valve) and i didn't know it had come off the back bead. Limped it to the workshop to put air in it and heard and awful scrape... that was the rim buckling. So now I need new rims. Ordered them, but they won't get here till next wek. To add to that I'm being screamed at to get my car out of the workshop. So awesome fun. :down:

That sucks mang :(. How badly buckled, did you look into getting it fixed?

Mine went from this:

To this:

It was only about $120 from memory...

My rims should arrive early next week.

What new rims you getting?

tax man ---> :spank: <--- me

good choice... :D

Hehe, my 5g payment was to pay of the remainder of my HECS as a voluntary payment and get the 10% bonus. So I get an extra $500 in my return for nothing. Rorting the system FTW.

And Chris is right around the corner.

Chris is always right around the corner ;):bunny:

So I sent an email off about my phone. got this reply:

Martin

Thank you for the email,

We have looked into the status of your device with the Samsung service centre. Apologise concerning the delay with the repair of your Samsung Galaxy S II. It appears that the service centre has received the device however they are currently unable to confirm the status of it.

We have provided the service 24 hours to confirm where the device is.

Regards

Sounds like Samsung have f*cking lost it! F*CK! This nightmare keeps getting worse :(.

Why did yours have to go back? I am loving mine.

I loved mine too, until it broke :(. Can't wait to get it back. Or another one back. Whatever, sick of this stupid nokia!

It suddenly stopped picking up signal one day - rendering it pretty much useless.

Spent about 2 weeks dicking around trying to get it fixed in AU, because I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it to the UK for warranty. NG, had to go to UK.

Sent it to the UK, ~1 week to get there then spent ~2 weeks sitting in customs, until I emailed the courier company to find out WTF was going on. Magically got delivered the next day.

Clove then sent it to samsung for repair the same day, and its been with them around ~2 weeks. So I sent clove an email last night, because I wasn't sure how long samsung usually take with the warranty stuff. Apparantly not normaly this long :(.

FML.

Buckled and cracked. Spoke to some people about it, but apparently it's very hard to fix. They'll probably have to put the centre into a new rim. So they can go in the shed for a while I guess. The new rims seem to be a multi stud. I'm hoping they will also fit a 5x100 pcd so I can keep them when I sell the car and not have wasted my money.

The new rims are ANZ brand.

Ouch... :( probably not worth it with the trispokes then, since the center is welded to the outer.

    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
