Pissed Off!

[SkyGTRline]

Hi..

Not happy today...

On my way back from the cotter with a mate, heading thro warramanga as i came thro one corner, something flung up into my rear guards and bounce of with a ching sound... went back and there was a bolt left on the ground pikced it up just incase, the bolt was threaded as well so i thought it was either bad, or just not mine...

About 200m up the road as i went around the roundabout, the car just drops and vears to the right. when i look at it the L/F wheels has a camber like -45Deg. Not a pretty site...

So what happend is the control arm bolts fell out and the car fell down... Spend a bit of time on the side of the road trying to get 1 bolt back in after trying to jack it up(bodykit in the way)

So i managed to get a bolt in and drive slowly home...

called stu at Capital steering and his has now sent a tow truck out.

My blame goes to capital steering as they threaded the bolts when they fitted the part.(Camberkit) im just glad i hadnt of been doin 100Km/h around a corner at the time it fell... as i could of ended up nasty.

So im not a very happy chappy! and sounds like i aint cruising tomorrow night.

bugger

that's nasty

any serious damage to anything?

Next time take your car to Inline in Queanbeyan, Chris does a proper job

[Amaru]

damn that sux man

[SkyGTRline]

Truck just came and took my baby away...

I took the front bar off, so i dont have any probs some of you guys had.

Do panel damage.. not sure whether the shock is damaged as there was alot of weight pushed up against it.. but well see when i get a phoen call.

Yes... inline should of been the go

[Amaru]

As long as they fix it for free, or pay for someone else (better) to fix it...

[Sinista32]

Close Andrew. Hope Capital steering stand up to the mark and make good dude.

[Jonneh Bravo]

sorry to hear that bro bloody idiots you would think they would check things like this

[Stevie]

Yeah i'd be asking for a free fix dude! It could of been much worse though

[race_snooze]

thats shit (free fix for sure and them some like a 4 wheel alignment)

[SkyGTRline]

the car arrived in the shop, and they assesed it...

All is good, there fixing it all up "for free" was some young guys fault which now doesnt work there.. There goin over the whole suspension, realignment everything, even offerin to pick me up when its finished.. And the best news, i get it back tomorrow.

So im happier now, but still pissed that it happened.

[Bluprint]

Well that's ok then I guess

they'd better be doing a shit hot job after what happened

[Scooby]

What Assholes, that sucks. Glad to hear it worked out OK though. I use Heasman suspension in Sydenham,Sydney. They quality check everything before it goes out the door.

[SKYLVIA]

im really pissed off ATM too andrew so im gonna join you, hope your line gets well soon

[oscar32]

I'm just glad to hear they are fixing the weapon mate, its what they should do - and thinking themselves lucky it didn't hurt anyone when it happend. It way to hot a '32 to be off the road!

It could've been a lot worse. Some companys will do nothing as I've found.

[Bullet32]

I thought that Capital steering were supposed to be good?? I go to Chris at Inline in Queanbeyan, theres no one I trust more, I actually once saw Jim Richards Targa rally Porsche GT3 in there being fixed once... Chris is undoubtedly the best and if you know him he's pretty inexpensive...

BTW what were you doing in Bungendore Andrew??

[SkyGTRline]

Good news guys.. you dant have to loose anymore sleep over my car..

Cars back, all fixed up, have to take it back in 1000km to re check...but all sorted for now...

just a lil scared to take it fast around corners now. :S

Bungendore... coming back from a mates farm.

[Bullet32]

Like I said last night Andrew... Get it checked out by someone else (namely Chris at Inline) cos if there is some major damage that they have bodged up so that you wont notice Chris will find it... Im not dumping on Capital Steering, they're mostly pretty good, Im just saying that it happens and dont take any chances with that hot car of yours

[KOS!]

Ive gotten all of my stuff done at inline, as well as all my mates and my dad has had his car through there as well. Last time i went in for work he had an NSX there, hot damn it looked nice.

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

I have had about 20 cars done at Capital and never had a problem, I think it is testimate to them they fixed it all without argument, they could have just said sh.t happens!!! I used Inline on my own GTR and was very unhappy with mainly the service and the unkept promises related to the time it was going to take and when it was going to be finished, but others swear by him....The moral is everyone has bad opinions and bad experiences with everywhere!!! the best thing you can do I believe is look at how long they have been in business and if you feel you can trust the place that does work on your car, if you go to their workshop (regardless of profession) and get the feeling they will treat your car sh.t trust that feeling in my opinion!!!

Good luck with the car should be sweet now!!!

[Bullet32]

The reason Chris takes a while to do cars is cos he wont let them out of there unless he is completly confident that they're done right... He just puts in al bit more time and effort and I dont know what you mean about the service, I have never had a problem with him, he's just about the friendliest guy Ive met.

I havent been to Capital Steering so I cant judge them, but there is in mine and all my mates opinions no better place to take you car than Inline, oh and he's been in business for over 20 years.
