Not Fair!


Recommended Posts

:mad: Take a look at this:

Some people just have no respect for other people's property. This happened in my work carpark, and no-one even owned up to it! The rear left skirt is scuffed up and the panel dented and chipped pretty bad (may push out tho)

Goran, how much were your repairs at Vision? I have another coin sixed dent in my pax side door (caused by another incompetent parker) that i want to get fixed. Just sux tho, - I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SPEND THIS MONEY!

Does anyone know if the mobile dent removers are any good? do they do a good job?

i have this theory that people just lose it and forget how to park when near skylines. it such a shame, you take extra care driving around (trying not to destroy ure baby whilst having a bit of fun), and the next day it gets damaged by circumstances out of your control.

:mad:

btw; *BY BY* i'll be taking pics and reporting on the exhaust system soon! its all good, thanx again

Hey dude,

Sorry to hear what hapened....i know how it feels....and its really not fair.

I paid 600 bux at Vision....i got a few other quotes and all of them were around 750-800, so Vision was the cheapest, and they truly did a good job, im very happy with it.

My damage was similar to yours, it had a little bit more scratches than yours from the look of it, but very similar thing.

When u go to Vision, speak to Jerry and tell him u came highly recommended from the Skylines club (thats what i told him and he took care of me).

Good luck mate,

Goran

I know what ur getting at but around here the 1st thing they ask for at an RBT is your licence to check ur photo and see that its you... If they are suss they may do a check up on u. anyway i saw the RBT and i was the only car on the road and they were ready to pull me up so with no licence in pocket and no licence in the books i shat my self and tried to get away.

It's more sus turning into a side street, just go though the 'R'BT and hope for the best. I got pulled in once, but wasn't tested, like pulled into the testing lane, then decided to let me though, weird i know. Not a real good idea to try and be smart and say things like 'did i blow over the limit officer?" (no offence Boxhead), they seem to like taking out the defect book after saying things like that.

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
