Yeah but I am very fussy, and will pay for a perfect job. Also seen bad work from the other place mentioned.

Problem is such places pricing is pretty cheap, so i think that is why they can be hit/miss at times.

Autobarn spray can = wonders.

$32 for 4 wheels.

lol away, if you want a flawless what about high octane in NSW. Pay for it though.

Stuff going to Sydney lol

Well according to the Habib at the car wash last night, his best mate has one of 2 ken style accord front bars in Australia, (my mate has 1 and his mate has the other)

AND, his lil bro has a manual targa supra that just got dropped off to queen street in sydney for a 25k overhaul. Lol

I feel like saying something, but then I'm reminded of Darwinian theory.

Rimon I showed my panel beater mate that E46...dude works exclusively on top end Euro and reckons it would need a new boot floor and K frame, not worth doing for the price he selling - statutory write off. Makes sense cause if it was that easy the guy would probably have done it himself. Possible damage to diff and axles too, been hit pretty hard. With rear enders, you never know the extent of the damage because it travels up through the chassis and doors.

Side note, he's currently repairing 2 M1s...journalists stacked them both lol.

yeah not worth traveling interstate for it if it was local would definitely take a closer look though.

M1 wouldn't mind one of those either

in other news,

got out of tafe to my car to find that the moron in the corolla parked next to me had slammed his/her door against mine.

minor paint chip hardly noticeable but i was so fuming i took my key and ran it along their door. also left a polite note under the wiper

can't stand inconsiderate f**ks i bet he/she will be more careful next time they open their doors.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
