It was the most amazing thing, I had to play football this evening and we got to the field at 4pm to watch the game before ours and it was pissing down!! We went into the change rooms and when we came out it had stopped raining and didn't rain again for our entire game!! Gridiron is hard enough without it being wet and slippery!! We won!!!

Mel why ya car in the shop?

getting resprayed and having a gouged light replaced and the badge straightened

... this is all stuff the panel shop did to my precious car last time around, hopefully they get it right this time

i STILL have to take my car, after this, to another panel beater so they will reinstall my FACTORY OPTION fog lights, as current panel beater refuses to do it because they are "aftermarket" which is BS, they just dont have a f**king clue where to start =P

B&M Body Works at Bulimba on Lytton Rd. = BAD NEWS OK

CHUKD SOME FAT SKIDZ IN THE CAR LAST NITE WAS AWSOME HAHA LOL

being that it's against the law, yes

Not trying to sound stupid man. But you started this topic saying "yay rain, shame my car is in the shop" which I personally would have thought to be implying you would have liked your car so you could drive it on the wet roads. Which once again personal oppinion on this, I would like to keep my car off the roads when its wet... Yet you seem to now agree skids are bad...

I find that odd.

hahahaha, I agree totally Mark, cept i dont find that having a certain burgundy r33 always gets the cops attention before they do me :(:D:D

but yeah, if u cant tolerate the other, more common style of driving that most skyline drivers do, maybe its time to change cars.. hell who doesnt enjoy driving in the wet, cleans ya car :)

Mel, i hope they fix your car correctly the second time, and good luck with getting te fog lights back

personally i think driving at irrisponsible speeds in traffic along our roads is alot more dangerous and deserves the full weight of the law as opposed to an innocent burnout at 11pm in a deserted industrial district.. but the law is the law and that's the way the cookie crumbles

yeah, but if driving at high speed ona highway. with no one infront of you , and a wrx trying to race you who turns out to be a cop.. i think speeding is safer,

driving fast in a straight line is easy... taking a corner sideways in the dark is not :(

anyway we should really get back on topic

YAY i love the rain :)

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
