but then the car loses 10 dollars worth of value, lol.

nah its driving me insane- for about three years ive built this thing to the point that i wanted it at. won a few comps here in Vic, nothing major but hoping to get into bigger things soon.

A copper pulled me over about 4 months ago and about the only thing he didnt poke at was me. Ever since then its like BANG got ya as soon as we seeya. If i was being a dickhead on the road fine i would understand, mate the car is driven like once a week and when it is driven i baby it. I cant afford to thrash it spent so much that if one thing goes wrong then im up the creek without a paddle.

dont know what to do- dont suggest sell it- i couldnt bare to do that.

The only solution I can see is to join the police force & apply for a job at your local police station (or the station where you will be doing most of the driving), so the next time cops pull you over they will be "Excuse me sir, we believe you have illegal mod on your..." <sees you> "Oh, hey mate, don't worry about it, drive alone now. See you at work tomorrow."

Actually I might do that... seeing I can't seem to find a job with my uni degree...

Seriously you are WAY over-qualified to be a WA cop.

Some of the young new recruits are borderline unemployable in the real world IMHO. You've got a combo of 22 y/o women who weight about 90 lbs soaking wet plus overweight pasty faced guys with bad haircuts.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
