Had a search, doesn't seem to be any recent threads...

A while ago you guys got a deal of 180-200 dollars for formula 1 plus window tint from camberwell tint-a-car...

I just got quoted $320 to get my R33 done from tint-a-car in formula 1 plus... plus another $55 to remove my existing tint...

Guy said he has a special on at the moment which is giving $100 off, why lie... and when i told him i had my previous car done there, he dropped the price further to $375 including removing existing tint..

seems a bit expensive compared to your $200 from camberwell...

The tint these guys did on my old car was great, never peeled/bubbled in the 4 years i had it, and when someone broke my rear quater, they re-tinted it free... so hence my return business.. just seems a little too expensive...

He said i can have it in dark (20%) medium (35%) or light (??%)...

has anyone else been charged to remove existing tint?

any input ? :)

Dont get that formula 1 shit, its not dark at all.

I got my car done 30% on the sides and 20% on the rear for $250 or so from the sunroof centre in noble park. Comes with lifetime warranty, the top quality tint used and its the same place all the new car dealers use in that area, but they just mark up the price about 300% when you buy a new car and get the optional tint. Tint-a-car will not go that dark without having a winge

Ferni - I asked again about 2 months ago about a group tint at camberwell. They told me it had changed hands also.

I will be taking my car up to the Doncaster tint-a-car, my mechanic knows the owner. My mechanic reckons on around $190 at mates rates - plus around 50 bucks to remove my existing tint.

I have not seen his work, but if it is ok, then I might have a chat to him about an SAU tint day :)

Inasnt negative as always... :)

Tint-A-Car always say they've got a $100 off special on the F1 tint..

Anyway, you might get a good deal if you gather a group of ppl together. In the NSW thread we managed about $160 per car for tinting, with $50 to remove any existing tint.

For the price I got quoted to get F1 on my 33 I got my skyline and my van tinted..and I think it's better than my mate's F1 tint.

Hey ferni, try Premier Tint in Dandenong, I got mine done there. I went the highest quality film called Elite and they also tint a bit darker than legal which is what i went for. The quality is really good and i was really impressed with the service. It's around 300/350 but i got mine done for 250 with two other cars. I've forgotten the guys name but i highly recommend them.

Got my front door windows done @ Premier Dandenong for $70 total - to match up with the "already [dark] tinted in Japan" rear quarters and rear windscreen. Also had another 34 tinted there for the same price ;)

Quality tint, lifetime warranty, great price!!!

At this time of year you should have no hassles getting cheap tint - they all start putting the price up around Spring time...

The jap tint like the tint my friends supra came with is just like limo tint, cant see a farking thing inside from the outside

Yeah I'm a little concerned about mine. I cannot see a thing through the back, and the sides are pretty bad too. I had a mate (a coppa) look at it, said its fine as long as the front windscreen isn't tinted. Reversing is a bitch...

My only issue is that you could not see my P plate through the glass, no matter how hard you looked. I finally got a sticker of a P and stuck in on the back windscreen. Not happy about it, but its only for a few months more and not worth 3 demerit points.

i got my tinted at the group buy. cost me $180 and didnt have to pay to remove the existing tint. mines the 35%, and i cant understand why you would want darker. the stuff on there originally was so dark that i couldnt see a thing when i reversed at night. so i would say forget about the 20% stuff.

The tint-a-car i called said they would do the 20% if i want, my choice.

Ronin 09: when will you be checking out tint-a-car in doncaster?

Sorry about the slow reply, Ferni, I'm in QLD - Noosa :)

My 32R is at the panel shop being straightened out - my mother backed into it - should be back end of the week. Will get a quote from Tint-a-car Doncaster early next week OK?

Cheers

    • 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.
