Just throw some vinyl wrap on the roof and take it to final inspection m9.

Best $1000 you will repeatedly spend

Damn, that sucks. But even if you do a basic inspection of the second hand goods you wind up like birds waiting 12months for barry

My kinder surprise was an overly shaved head that was way too high comp and some rough machining on the deck...machinist took forever to get around to it. Not at all saying my man hasn't sidelined his engine builds for drive in drive out mechanical type work, but that's been a major hold up for us. Talk is end of the year for completion so fingers crossed.

But yeah luck of the draw with second hand engines. Have to ask yourself; there's usually a reason the engine is for sale - either the car got thrashed out and trying to offload problems, a part out (why?) or stacked, in which case strong possibility of a hard life pre-stack too. Lot of shit engines out there. My seller didn't lie about having issues with the engine before I bought it - it was worth more in parts than what I paid for it, which is why I took the risk. On the bright side I got a chance to make it powerful and near bulletproof.

Has anyone got any recommendations now Mick has hung up the spray gun?. I want to do a windows out full car respray with my 32.

I can recommend my panelbeater if you want to PM me. Just had a respray done by him and I'm very happy with the job. He does a lot of hotrods and muscle cars and those guys are pretty fussy. Very passionate about his work and it shows, but he's always got a full shop so could be a wait.

The word Bulletproof should never be written on the same page as an RB, let alone to describe an RB!

There was a decent accident and took a while to clean the spill

GKtech - made in China (apparently)

Hope the pound keeps falling, might have to buy a investment property in the UK

 

 

can always trust Freddy to use cheap parts 

[Leroy Peterson]

Apparently gktech is a sponsor, and who would turn that kind of sponsorship down?

[Daz]

I would if that's the quality of their parts

[emts]

the sort who want to live.....

[Leroy Peterson]

Well if its the first one theyve had break, then quality wasnt a problem beforehand, was it?

[Birds]

It is now

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

The other side was cracked too.

Trent mentioned on FB that it's a known issue and they need to be welded before use... Quality

Gosford car museum had 2 32GTRs for sale. This one didnt look too bad (from what i could see).
They had another for $43k which was that red colour (possibly Aus delivered).

P plate Golf R gave the toot of acknowledgement after dropping behind in a rolling - is this the first non D-bag Golf owner in the history of the world?
