Spotted SXYGST twice this morning - Then my boy called me at work and spotted him too. Clean Silver 33 came through the Jerra Pub carpark at 4ish.

Now what was I doing there. Drowning my sorrows thats what. The !@#$%^&*(*) at Dickson knocked me back for the third time. The stock front pipe is 5mm too Low. Jelous is all i can put it down to.

Back at 9:30 2moro for another go. A hydraulic jack and 50 PSI in the tyres ought to give me a pass mark from the !@#$%^&*(() (**&&%$#@ )(*(*&%!

was dave there? he's a pretty young guy, and was absolutely fantastic and a few other young guys there were good too, if there are old guys there you could be in trouble, but the young guys were really good with me!

i know one guy who gave the guys at the pits a lot of trouble, being a smart ass talking down to them etc... so they drilled him for everything they could find. a big part of it is respect, if you treat them well they will do the same(in general)

i dont know if nick and ewan will remember but when i was going through getting my car over the pits a while ago, i put a big post up on another local forum saying that my dad was taking the car in and saying it was his etc...and i was saying how clever i was and how dumb they were, turns out one of the guys brothers was a member of the forums and told them all about it, the guys at the pits thought it was hilarious and gave me soooo much sh*t about it, and that they do read forums etc....anyway they all laughed about it, were very kind with checking the car and wished me well.

Guys keep in mind that some of the people from the pits -DO- read these forums (was talking to them about it when i went over) and some comments might make them pick on you some more :D

anyways, spotted gunmetal r32 gtst on lanyon drive in queanbeyan, gave a sort of finger/wave/hey thing and then realised i probably looked like a retard :)

No I was good, honest. I took the rejection on the chin. No smartarse remarks and was very sensible and polite, all three times now.

The gents who selected the defects and knocked it back were the senior ones and one was the boss (Roy). My cars very very tidy and alot safer than most new cars. 5mm too low with two big fellas siting in the front. She passed QLD RTA in October of this year as it was. The front pipe is dead stock and so is the Zorst Jayce lent me.

I no complain, maybe a little, but it appeard to me to be overzelous and I sincerely beleive it's because its an import or they have been asked to go hard on our cars.

Child restraint clips "actually" fitted. Not just the threaded holes like your Brand new this years model anything which just has the Plugs in em. Now come on!

dang i thought i had it hard when they nocked me back for not knowing the weight of my car :) at least that only took me 20 minutes to fix up but yea they seem to pick up on some stupid things though which i am sure 95% of others would let slide. oh well they can afford to be tight arses we dont have a choice in who we take our cars to.

i would have walked past on my way back to the library after my lunch break, but i don't think i was being suspicious. did he have a black blink 182 shirt on? if so it was me being freaky, otherwise someone else is a freak

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
