Try Chris at Tasman Checkpoint in Brunswick. No one else is even allowed to go near my car for repairs bar him. Excellent prices, excellent work and excellent service. Tell him you're a mate of mine and he will look after you.

Call 9387 1955

hey guys im lookin for a place thats pretty decent and not overpriced in melb

got told my candy gold job is gonna cost me 12k and isnt gonna get started until xmas so im gonna look somewhere else

12k for candy gold? jesus

really worth paying that much?

Ill prolly get flamed for this, but a tip my mate told me to get a good looking job done on the cheap is to paint the car in a normal acrylic then apply a 2pac pearl over it, makes it look like a full 2pac paintjob :O

Mate had a red car and painted it red acrylic and applied 2pac pink pearl over the top, the painter said hed be able to tell people it was a full 2pac job.

Thing is i dont think beaters like doing this for people.

lol... i bought some midnite purple from protec in moorabin... only ost me $210 all up for 4 litre but im a bit wary that this isnt gonna be good enough for my car.... wheres troy when u need advice...

did that include primer and catalyst/hardner?

u looking to spray yourself?

spraying standard paints isnt that hard.. candy jobs look pretty sweet but i dont know if theyre worth 3x the mount of a standard full job.

i was going to buy the candy pearls from the states and try it out on my car and see how it comes out... then when that all blows up in my face, sand it back and paint it satin black lol

when i get my 33, ill be lookin for a shit heap to drive to work everyday as well....and i had this brilliant idea....im gonna buy a heap of cans of spray paint, like the shit you use on calipers etc, and im gonna paint the car in it. lol...I was thinkin bright green. then im gonna spray the bonnet black B)

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
