Most recent pic of my beast - Loving the spacers on the wheels (30mm rear, 25mm front) and the ride height :D

Unbalanced, I love it. What kit is that though..would suit a 34 front end aha. The wheels set it off nice with the height however. Tien coilovers?

It was too low :D I had to raise it.

BC coilovers! They go well.

Also dolphin bodykit :bunny:

And an R34 front end would suit me just fine too.. If only they weren't so expensive.

EDIT: Just realised this is actually when I only had 25mm spacers on the back.

Haha, ahh the malt shovel brewery bottle opener. I got given them for work for doing some stuff with james squire.

Very nice car however, whoever did the repair job did a good one.

Whats the Dvd player your running in it?

Yeah I go the bottle opener from Chuck Hahn(below), the guy who started Hahn breweries. And who is now head brewer for lion-nathan in the asia!! He came and saw a show I was in down in Sydney and then invited us to have a tour of the james squire brewery just out of the city. That was the most amount of beer I've had in one hour, and straight from the source :P .

Yeah it was a good repair job, done by Brisbane motor bodies.

As for the DVD/TV/GPS, it's some no name brand like AVC or something cant' remember off the top of my head. I got it from cashies for $240, was a little worried at the time. But it's been working fine for nearly a year now.

Recaro's were already in the car when we almost bought it, almost 3 years ago.

Came close to buying back then, but found ours a few months later.

I may have turned off the traction control on the test drive :cheers:

i have some pics from it at the dealer ship too

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
