ask for him to post up reciept of postage at least? is it a big item? might be sitting at your nearest post office cause there was no one at home at the time to accept it? then again i think thats only for reg mail isnt it.

just stick a drivetrain and some wheels on the boat instead. Even I surprise myself sometimes....

+1 VW R32 all comes down to does your bro need the space, luxury, power. wagon, hatch, ute. maybe all the above. should get a transformer

dont you have a list of wreckers in the syd forum? we have a list for melb wreckers in the melb forum you could try them if your desperate. i dont see why there should be a difference in mirrors for a 2door 4 door or gtr...i may be wrong though. go to a pannelbeater, workshop, forsales section?

thats a hard one. will be your word against theirs really. If theyre decent they might own up to it but i highly doubt it. If you can prove it by say hoping theres still some yellow paint on whatever it scraped/hooked onto at the garage then you might have a chance. Ask them if they had any troubles putting your car up the hoist and when they ask why explain to them your front bar was damaged when you got it back. At the end of the day is it worth your time and effort persuing the issue. sometimes its easier just to walk away. Now you know to check in the future what kind of hoist you need for future work. A tow truck gave my newly painted front bar a good scrape with its chains jacking the car up and putting it down. I could have argued with the fella but something just told me it would have been a lost cause.

sounds like he needs the special kind wouldnt it be in your best interest in the long run to get the car up to par anyways? I could understand if it was a shitter. All the places I knew of dont offer it anymore cause theyve all been done for dodgy RWC...lol.

its more a combination of tyres, road and amount of water as some others have stated rather than the car itself, be it all wheel drive or rwd. Ive had the front of my 33 aqua plane for a sec while the rears still held grip where you would first expect it to let go. +1 for just slow down and adjust your driving to the conditions. I was in traffic on thursday in melb when we had heavy rain and hail and the like and theres people flying around and tailgating, speeding and swerving like it was dry. I guess nothing bad has ever happened to them in the rain, YET.

so how was the burgers boys'n'girls? i had to lash, was a decent meet though.

very noice and clean....wish mine still looked like that. for a sec i thought your car was all carbon from that pic above..ha. +1 for handling mods first $11,500 man you should have seen what i payed for mine 8 yrs ago. makes me wanna cry,...lol

any more info kev on how the days gonna be run? what corners, groups? etc.. thanks

or you could just stretch your existing clamps like i did.

we all hang out and chat in the Vic section of the forum:D what kind of chatting are you after? casual car chat or i need to make new friends chat? you just missed out on a casual meet and burger cruise that was on tonight. would have been a start.

all depends on offset?

and i always thought it was factory cause it sure looks like it. my antenna switch is just above my left knee..that looks factory too. thumbs up to the compliance guys then. yeah the tube is for your climate control to measure cabin temp, im pretty sure of it.

i got caught in the hail on the way home at 4ish...they started getting really big so i parked my ass under a couple big trees in one of the side roads. Didnt make much diff...haha. hail the size of marbles...im sure i got a couple dings on the car now.

from the horses mouth..ha. i was gonna suggest just pop into your local cop shop and ask.

yeah and your never gonna stop young men killing themselves or others by driving recklessly. I know what your getting at but are road rules that hard to follow? Im sure if you knew the cop was there you wouldnt break traction doing a U'ey and the like which means you made the choice to drive that way unless it was the cars mechanical fault that was out of your control. Im sure after that you made sure your P's were always up yeah? What im getting at is yeah the penalties are tougher but the rules have never really changed. Tougher just means people will learn from their mistakes alot quicker than before and if they dont they deserve to loose their license for a while to remind them that having a license is a priveledge and not a given.

my dimmer switch is where your antenna switch is....strange.

that was like god scrunching up aluminuim foil. absolute shocker. i waited to see if the dummy would get up and cry for help like simpsons.

............. wheres those hay bails when you need em

back arm rest piece is held on by clips, they probably all fell out when he took it apart. as for the seat, take it all apart and put it back together properly as he probably didnt clip it into place. rust in the boot may be signs of a prev accident, leak in the boot. maybe give it a hit with sandpaper and rust killer and prime it back up.

im gonna have to pop down to the meet to check your car out James.

they could have charged you just a small fee to look at your car and see if theres a problem and then go from there but then again your steering was pretty out of wack wasnt it I got TTyres to do to double check the dodgy alignment i got previously before i went ahead with anything.

+1 I think you will be quite safe getting a V35. dont forget to give it a decent kit. Ive seen some really nice V35's going around kitted up. Makes me wanna buy one.

+1 i watch for entertainment but its nice to have a good review once in a while.
