Hi all. Got myself a r32 gtst and during the inspection the mechanic said that the front wheel bushes (i think thats what he said) were worn and needed replacing and the air con needed regassing as it was not cold at all.

So anyone can recommend me any workshops that do these? I should also be getting the car serviced (check oil, check for leaks and stuff) at that workshop at the same time (scared of car dying on me while i'm driving in the middle of nowhere :Oops: ) since I'm there.

Thanks for any "positive" inputs :P

And by the way my rear wheel tyre threads are getting very thin and I will need to change my rear tyres my friend told me to go tempe tyres should i go there? Just seeking more suggestions from fellow forummers.

:D

I've been there heaps, and Grey Imports in Annandale do great work :)

Ask for Nathan, but you might need to call first they are pretty busy atm 9557 5938

BTW it is probably wheel "bearings" that were noisy and need replacing

And yes Tempe can be very cheap but for gods sake don't buy the Falken 326 they always sell, they are terrible tyres

It's cos if you're fully sick FALKENS ARE SICK BRO...

I wish I got money every time I have to explain people brands can have different tyre models and they look at me like a dumbass and reply "I've heard falkens are good" or whatever other brand their mechanic sells.

PS. When my driverside bearing was buggered (as it was tightened too tight by some retard before I got the car) it only ground (grinded?) when I turned the car one way - this may give you a clue.

tempe tyres is a sh1t load cheaper than just about any other tyre retailer I can think of.

Grey Imports are a great little shop. above all else they are good guys and won't screw you over.

    • Gotcha, I mean that is at least good to hear. Are there signs, or troubleshooting tips to make sure the transmission is operating properly?
    • Well thats probably not gonna happen right away. LOL
    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
