I have just purchased a new run about wagon/tow car so I am removing the roofracks & towbar from the Stag.

They are just no longer needed now I have a larger falcon wagon to do all my towing/transporting stuff. Which means now I can concentrate on modifying it. Anyways...

Towbar was made by Towbars of Woden & is rated at 2000kg (have paperwork)

Roofracks are Thule items and are rated at 75kg each bar I believe.

Towbar $550

Roofracks $250

To first buyer with $$$. I WILL NOT hold for 6 months while you try and sell your camira to pay for them etc.

Give you a better offer?

Mate as the seller here I think you should be making me an offer lol.

What sort of roofracks were they at Repco? Garuntee they wern't Thule, not at that price anyway.

$200 I will let them go. I won't be matching an inferior products price sorry.

BTW these roof racks have key locks and are adjustable. Once locked they can not be moved and are 100% secure & safe.

Hey mate, just a quick question did you buy the towbar for the car or was it previously fitted when you bought it? I am just wondering at what cost it was to build and install.

Cheers

Sorry mate.

I had like 8 people interested and all were waiting for me to remove it.

I have been answering PM's for the last month or so explaining that as soon as it is off the car I will let them know.

I had even refused several peoples deposits because I was not 100% sure exactly when I would have the item removed.

I didn't want to commit to a sale and take a deposit and stuff the person around for weeks because I didn't have the time to remove it.

Anyway, I pulled it off today, updated the post stating it is 100% available on a 1st come 1st serve basis.

I started replying to PM's that it was ready to go but I had to wait several minutes between posts and this was too time consuming

(I am a busy man hence the length of time before I could remove the towbar). And I sold it to the 1st person that comitted to buying it. I am sure there is another 7 people peed off with the situation also, but I feel I did the right thing by not committing any sales before it was actually ready to be sold (hence no promises or deposits taken).

You had it advertised 8 weeks ago! :/ Of course people will be upset when you advertised it 8 weeks ago. What did you expect?

You words were:

To first buyer with $$$. I WILL NOT hold for 6 months while you try and sell your camira to pay for them etc.

But they had to wait around for you to get off your ass??? :domokun:

I advertised the item 8 weeks ago because I was supposed to have some free time then.

It turned out I had ALOT on for work & a deadline to complete the jobs and never got the time off that I was supposed to recieve untill now (several weeks later). I also had to cancell pre-booked holiday accomodation which I lost a small amount of cash on as well as several other planned events and let down a Mr's and kids, so don't think I purposely stuffed anybody around or took my time removing it as it was not a case of "getting off my ass" as you state. I had very valid reasons why I couldn't do it any sooner and I made this perfectly clear to those that messaged me regarding the bar. I told them directly that I am unsure when I will be able to remove it due to lack of time and for that reason I refused to accept a deposit or commit it to anybody untill it was actually off the car. I was working 12+ hours a day 7 days a week in order to get this time off that I now have. And to be honest now that I have the time off I just want to relax not work on cars or have to explain myself or my situation to a bunch of internet users. It was never a case of being lazy or stuffing people around. I had obligations & priorities that far outweigh the importance of any member of this site (which by the way are complete strangers to me). Sorry buddy but my business, finances & family come wayyyyyyy before some dudes feelings on the internet especially over something as petty as a towbar. I'd rather upset some users here then risk losing business & finances etc.

As I said above I am sorry to those that feel somehow jerked around and yes I do expect some people to be upset about it (I wasn't complaining I was simply appologising) but whats done is done and it was out of my hands. Anyway realistically I was not obligated to sell to anyone anyway just as they were not obligated to buy from me. I never put it on hold for anybody nor did I tell anybody it was theirs. I was upfront with all enquirers that it is still on the car and as soon as I get the time to take it off I will let them know when it is available. If this isn't good enough for anybody then PM a mod and ask to have action taken against me. Because I don't particularly want to hear it hey. I am off to enjoy my long awaited free time. Enjoy...

Anyway the items are sold.

I couldn't care less about people bitching about it, I have appologized not much more I can do.

Sooooo, feel free to lock the thread as there is nothing more to sell or say to the members here...

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
