I work in the shire, so I thought I'd ask the locals about it for you.

They all said "wash your own car! ewww!"

i want to wash my own car but I'm not allowed to use a hose. Yes Vic - buckets. They suck. I normally use a trigger attachment on the hose but not so sure about doing that here.

John's idea is the best so far. Go down to steve's and use his driveway :) :)

Ive never actually used a hose to wash the car, always used 3 buckets full and another smaller one for soap. Takes awhile but nice n clean :P

Sorry Adam, wasn't clear enough :)

When I asked about a car wash in which you can wash your own car they were disgusted, they told me you pay people to wash your car for you.

I believe some of the comments were, "oh, I think they have those things in Bathurst or Orange or something"

Do you feel like a Hobbit yet?

Ahahaha, if you can afford to live in the shire, you can afford the $20 to pay the guys at that car wash where king georges rd meets princes hwy.

Me, I can't afford to live in the shire, prices there are ridiculous.

Its not a carlovers branded one.....

Go up King Georges Rd

Get to Canterbury Rd

Turn right at the lights there and head city bound on Canterbury Rd

Go through a set of lights, the look on the RIGHT hand side and just after the rim shop there will be one

further down the road is spoilers car wash. they do a good wash for the $, top coffees, and the chikki that works there on weekends making coffees is hawt.

how much is the basic wash ?

how hot is the chikki ?

there's a hand-wash at a servo on forest rd at bexley, $12 for the basic exterior wash. they do a pretty good job too.

Crystal Carwash (Cafe) on corner of King Georges n Princes.. They wash you car while you sip a latte.

If it's too busy or not your cup of tea, just go 'round the corner to Steve's Rub n Scrub Carwash :D

I got my $17(wagon) car wash ($16 for sedans, $22 for 4WD/SUV/MPVs) for $13.50 the other day. Dunno why I payed less, but I wasn't about to complain...

Sydney Car Wash, 112-126 Broadway, Chippendale or 347 Windsor Rd, Baulkham Hills.

You could always go for a Waterless Car Wash system, like Meguiars have: http://www.meguiars.com.au/water_saver.htm. If the car is REALLY dirty, then do a normal wash (sponge and car-wash fluid) first, then maintain it with the Waterless kit.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
