  1. Yeah you can get them on Ebay, although I got mine from Just Jap. They're pretty cheap but I've used them in the past with no problems. This one is giving me the shits though, the low pressure warning keeps sounding as I drive. Time to check the wiring...
  2. The one I'm using only cost about $80. I'm hoping it is just the ground, but the other gauges are using the same point and seem to be working fine. I'll have to get the multimeter out and muck around with it later.
  3. Duncan, what problems were you getting from the interference? I've just wired in some autogauge gauges and the fuel pressure one is playing up, reading too low and dropping when the headlights come on.
  4. Northside mate, and yeah it's the factory white. It was resprayed not long ago.
  5. Series 1 sorry mate, located in Bridgeman Downs.
  6. Does anyone have a recommendation for a spray painter reasonably close to Aspley that's happy to work with fibreglass? I've got a new bonnet arriving on Wednesday and need to get it painted ASAP.
  7. I've got a recently painted white bonnet for sale, but it needs to be picked up by the 16th because I'm going away with work, so if anyone needs one right away then make me a reasonable offer and it's yours!
  8. I've just been down to Blits and took a couple of photos of the trial fit. I'm very very happy with how it looks and even happier with the quality. It's nice and solid but still lighter than the factory bonnet. The vents are just behind the radiator fan so there won't be any dramas getting the coils wet. They also build a small lip into the edge of the vent which minimises any water running in. Blits are really great people to deal with, so I'd highly recommend them!
  9. Not sure on the weight or position of the vents, but I'm going to check it out on Saturday! Their website is here: Blits Bodykits if anyone wants to check them out.
  10. AFAIK it will be unpainted, pretty stoked though! Just goes to show it doesn't hurt to email in to these types of things! Normally I wouldn't have bothered!
  11. As some of you would have seen Blits Bodykits ran a competition in HPI to win one of their street legal bonnets, and this morning I found out I won! Huge thanks go to both Blits and HPI! I can't wait to get it fitted, will post up pics as soon as I do! This is what it looks like:
  12. Over the next few days I'm adding an extra amp into my boot and changing a few things around and I'm wondering whether to change the way my sub box is mounted. At the moment it's attached by 3 brackets: 1 screws into the MDF false floor, one screws in under the battery tray, and one screws into the metal body in the corner of the boot. I'm wondering whether having it screwed to the metal chassis could be passing unnecessary vibration through the car, and whether it's worth screwing it only to the MDF or even putting rubber under the mounting points? Any thoughts?
  13. Why not just get one of the "in your face" kits (ie something like Blitz or JJR Stealth depending on what you want to spend) and paint the pipes and core black? If you're really keen you could replace the silicone couplers with black ones as well.
  14. The question you need to ask yourself is whether the cause of your engine failure was Trent's actions (or inactions) or whether it was the poor condition of your engine. It appears fairly clear that it was the latter, and that it would therefore not be reasonable to expect him to have responsibility for your loss. Your engine was going to fail regardless. While he probably made a mistake in terms of communication and allowing himself to get into this situation (and no doubt regrets it), that doesn't make him responsible for the damage. People make mistakes, that's life. As others have pointed out I think you need to take responsibility for your engine yourself and accept that you need to foot the repair bill. On the other side of the coin Trent will no doubt take away a lesson in risk management. Hopefully the experience won't detract from your interest in cars, or from Trent's willingness to help out others.
