well it's happened again.

Some punk(s) have tried to break into my ride with what looks like a metal bar, srewdriver type thing. The door hadle is seems fine, everything still works, but the clip on the bottom of the handle has been poped out. The handle at the bottom is sitting half an inch out just like the wankers dick who f*cked with it. I'm assuming i just have to push the clip up so the handle will pop back in which will do untill i get the dents around the handle fixed. There are dents around the handle where the champs have tried to lever the handle off. Has anyone attempted to push a handle back on and do i just have to push the clip up to pop it back so it will sit flush with the door again?? Also if i have to get a new handle will this set me back much??

Cheers all. :)

yeah i live down south and i'd like to say that i enjoy unlimited driving without any of the wrong attention from the authorities. (i hear that the northern and city suburbs aren't as lucky)

I have to blame myself abit as i parked in the "secure" parking at Noarlunga center complex near the train station. If anyone lives down there you will know that it is fenced off and there is apparently a guard there all day. But apparently no one saw anything all day. I asked if there are security cameras but i have had no joy, also at the time i was pretty pi*sed off as you can imagine. I usualy don't drive to the station car park but i was running late for work that day and i put faith in the "secure" parking.

I was curious as to where you the car was parked and now that explains everything. :D

Those dero Christie Downs bastard kids that walk around in their unwashed clothes. Just parking in Collonades makes me nervous. I've known many cars to be damaged and stolen.

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
