Thanks for the help boys, the damage is not that bad at all considering I will be getting a new bodykit anyway straight after christmas. I will be taking it down to Blackburn Motor Body who are world class and are the authorised repairers for Porshe, Lexus & Mercs.

The guy who hit me was around 90 years old and absolutely had no clue. I rang up his insurance and they basically told me that he had four claims in the last two months, what a joke.

What ever you do, don't go to a certain panel beaters on Molan St in Ringwood (there are about 3-4 on Molan St - PM me if you want the name of the one I'm talking about).

I got a $6,000 quote for a repair, then took my car to a trusted (had work done there before) garage and they quoted me $3,500 for it!

There is a good PBeaters... Symes (on Blackburn Rd, cnr Kind St). I bit more expensive (couple of hundred), but they do a GREAT job. Prob, a bit far from Glen Wav. though (~ 30-40 mins)

I'm with inark on this one - Palm Motor Body Works. Don't think u can go wrong there really - even if u do have an issue they'll sort it out quickly and in your favour.

It took me two months to get my car fixed.. they're a nice bunch of blokes and did a good job, but if you end up like me, its not worth it - go somewhere else.

Admittedly it took palm about 2 months to get mine done too - but they did give me a loan car and every second my car spent there was worth it.

Those guys are flat out there and they take pride in their work. Id rather that than some shitty 2 day job that will look cheap in a year or two.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
