I should be able to make it. I'll probably just come down for a look tho... and some snags

Will you guys please shut up!

You mean near Brunswick St? Nah, was at uni most of the day. My car is not genuine black as I've added a blue pearl so you'll know if its me

vendetta, discl You guys pm each other with what you're willing to pay for each item and let me know.

You can buy my coola if you want refer to sig

Welcome. Thornbury is the next suburb to me. I'll say hello if I see ya round You should be easy enough to spot as there aint many 32s round here

You can have it for $200.

Whats with all this "bad luck" business. The result is the best luck anyone could've hoped for. You escaped the mandatory 1 month in jail and if the magistrate wanted to be a real prick could've put you in for 6 months. Lesson has looks like it has been learnt. Just dont drive until the suspension is over coz you will surely end up in the slammer and have to answer to big bad bubba.

The switch being the problem really doesnt make much sence. Why would it be affecting only one side? Surely both sides are connected at the switch?

Thats the trap fall into. Just because Vicroads say its clean, doesnt necessarily mean that it is. Thats why they offer the certificates. Eg you agree to buy a car and agree to pick it up in 3 days time. There is nothing stopping the seller from going down to their local bank and taking out a mortgage on the car before you pick it up. You ring VSR and they say all clean (because there simply hasnt been enough time for the bank to let them know). If you dont have the certificate, you're stuffed. If you do, the seller is stuffed. Unlikely example, but its happened before.

Would love to see pics. 800x300x76 is bloody massive. What other sizes do they come in?

BUMP I may trade for a decent ECU + cash etc

I love your new car too! Congrats. Looks awesome!

Sorry to hear. Serious bad luck. Saw it happen a fair bit when I was at vicroads. One case a guy bought a car for $45,000 then found $30,000 was still owing... he, understandably, wasnt happy. Especially after he was told there was nothing owing. He was somehow under the impression that verbal check would be enough. There are steps involved, however it is the responsibility of the buyer to do the check. Vicroads has a Vehicle Securities Register (VSR) which holds information about encomberances on vehicles. Its not the most reliable source tho because there is no law forcing financiers to use this register so it only holds about 85% of all encomberances. Obviously the a verbal check over the phone is not really enough. However, you can purchase a VSR Certificate, which is a legally binding document, that will protect you from any hidden encomberances (i.e. not recorded on the register) for the period that you own the vehicle. Then when the bank comes round and says "give me the car" you show the certificate and can tell em to get stuffed. If you purchase a car from a LMCT then you are automatically covered. By law, it is the LMCT's responsibility not to sell cars that are under finance. The certificate will not protect you if the car is stolen or has been rebirthed. I dont know if there is any cover available for this situation.

Sorry to be diggin up such an old thread (thankyou search button ) but this problem has just happened to me on the drivers side. Parkers still work but no low or high beam. I've checked all fuses and globes. I got a multimeter onto the wires and there is no voltage. The headlight switch in the dash sounds like a reasonable cause at this stage. Anyone know its exact location? Is there a switch for each side? If there is then thats just stooopid. How did you all fix it? If you can remember...

I've got a spare s1 ECU if it'll help...

I want a bigger turbo If that business about the etag is true :drooling: You must be wrapped!

Yep Dr_Drift raves about the ease of tuning 'em

:drooling: I want a bigger turbo

My jaw dropped to the floor! That is nothing short of incredible! Well Done!!

How much boost?

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA Love the autobarn sticker

rev210 :werd: I know lots of people who are gonna walk away with a gold medal

Why? The whole idea about going to the track is to see how fast you can get the car moving. If its capable, try different techniques until you get there. I think this consistency thing you're on about refers to driver ability (ie practice makes perfect). The reason why most people run a super time around slightly slower times is for that 1 super run they got everything right. What they need to do is try and mimic these actions again and again until consistency is achieved. Achieving consistency for a slower time may provide good training for a faster pass but its really selling the car and yourself short. Hope that makes sense...
