Good info Luke, thanks for that.

Anyone got any good ones around Liverpool/Campbelltown (i.e. SW Sydney)? I've heard good things about Bridgestone in Liverpool, but never went there (yet). Apparently Jax Liverpool is pretty decent, but they had no interest in my requested settings when I went for an alignment, and just set toe to whatever (i.e. production line-spec in/out alignments).

Bridgestone Liverpool have been good with my Lancer :) (no idea about good cars).

Had a bit of a meh experience with another place a bit further east up Newbridge Rd... (not naming names but if you're from the area you can probably work it out)

This is confusing. Why did he just assume you we're going to give him your 2 of your enkeis?

Because I'm Asian I presume.

Three other Asian couples were there and a couple were charged $20 more for the same type of job than their (same race) mates.

The last two Enkeis I assume he thought I might forget to take them. And they were the best condition ones.

I'm also of the opinion that he had a mate who was short of a Nissan hexagonal wheel cap.

I asked the owner of JLM today if people of such a race take advantage of Asians > the answer is one I cannot say here.

I think it's more a personality issue than a racial issue.

Arseholes are arseholes no matter what colour their skin, or where they come from unfortunately.

At least you are an unusually observant person, and noticed the cap was missing before they shovelled you out the door; and it was too late.

Agreed, though it is interesting how some races have a higher percentage of arrogant ignorant inconsiderant self centered egotistical elitist arseholes who think they are better then every one else that isnt the same race as them for no apperant reason then other races do :D

Well I thought that $100 for my job was a bit over the top. And it had to be cash.

I can't say though what they were snig- gering about in reference to an Asian couple or the job on their Honda. Body language was all I could rely on between rattle gun bursts. Didn't sound personable.

That's fuarked... I personally just go to Taleb tyres and they're pretty good to me (also Asian).. however I'm not your typical small framed Asian and sound like a lebo half the time (grew up with them in Fairfield) so that possibly helps them behave.

They let me walk up to my car and inspect on what they were doing... so thumbs up to them

Yes thank you Anthony, Dale Nick and others...

Even at my age I'm willing to take people at face value, but when things start to unravel, heightened vigilance goes through the roof.

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
