Hi guys.

How is everyone? Better than me, for sure! Recently I took my car to a shopping centre, did my shopping and returned to my car only to find the front bar had been damaged! I believe it is repairable but would like to purchase a front bar with or without foggies as it would be easier just to respray one.

If possible I would prefer the front bar to be in Silver, include the foggies and be located in Sydney for pick up but all of these are not expected, I am quite flexible in this regard.

Would anyone know a good smash repairer in Sydney with reasonable prices for repairs and resprays as I am considering doing both. I am a bit worried about some suspected rust in my boot will get pics up as soon as possible as I am not sure on the what it is and/or how worried I should be!

If anyone has any information, please let me know!

Regards

Drift King

Hey guys,

I just got my front bumper resprayed and repaired last week.

Initially all I wanted was the lower bit fixed up because I cracked it going over a bump. But when I got quoted $150, I thought what the heck ant do a full respray for another $150, so $300 all up.

They did a great job, the front bar even felt more solid

I used xtreme-bodykits at warwick farm

They take the bumper off and you drive drive around without it for three days before you go back and put back on.

Speak to Frank @ 'Caldwells' in Condell Park

Tell him I sent ya.. he's very reasonable and also very good.. did the bodykit on my car and re-sprayed my wing to match KENNEDY's car, where it now lives :ban:

BTW.. I am selling my M-spec bar without the lights, if interested please PM.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
