hey guys,

some tool parked me in on the weekend which meant i had to reverse of a gutter and i broke the right hand side of my front bar. (where it bolts on just infront of the right wheel)

Want it fixed nicely while still paying a fair price...... how mcuh would one expect?? crack is 2 or 3 inches long and would need respray i assume.. (or maybe i should get touch up paint... )

any suggestions where to get it fixed? i live in the redlands (cleveland) so south east bris would be closer..

i know i could fix it myself but since it has to be painted etc and ive never done it before i think id rather pay someone to do it for me.

been told DMD the image at coopers plains are "fooli sik body kit specialists" lol

cheers,

Zennon

Yeah DMD you cant go wrong mate...not to hard to do yourself if you got a bit of spare time however!

yeah im thinking about it... I've never worked with fiber glass before... (saw a D.I.Y. thread somewhere...)

not sure how i would paint it though... could buy some touch up paint but dont have any spray guns or anything.. might look a little dodgy... although the bar isn't like in the best condition anyway so maybe i should lol

Gun metal grey isnt to hard find a find with a gun or if your ultra budget get a can of primer a can of the grey and a can of clear and bobs yours uncle you could probably have it all done for around 50 looking alrightish or 250-300 depending on damage for dmd to do it!

kustom fx in underwood (3208 0832) they just fixed up my bodykit and did a great job

yeah DMD cant do it this week and I want it done before sunday's cruise so Ill try Kustom Fx...

how much work did they do to yours Konrad (wasn't just the front was it?) and how much did they charge you? you've got a 33 i assume?

hey nice car :) how come i havnt seen it around yet?,, does it come out often?

do u live near like defiance or deviance? .. no one coudl forget that name how come i can? lol..

its out practically every day, but i'm often out of town so it can be seen cruising exotic places like toowoomba, emerald and bundaberg :ninja:

no idea what you're getting at with the defiance thing, doesn't sound like anything near where i live (logan)

Yeah DMD you cant go wrong mate...not to hard to do yourself if you got a bit of spare time however!

DMD originally did my Monkey Warehouse front bar (supply and fit. Was very displeased, especially for the price. For $500 more than what they charged just to suplly and fit my front bar, i bought side skirts, a rear bar, and GTR air vents, and had them all painted and fitted (re-did shit front bar), at Morayfield Smash Repairs. Not known for imports really, but do a lot of things like porches and older cars, reconditioning etc, they are fantastic with bothe steel and fibreglass.

I will second Morayfield smash, as they do good paint work and and body work and have qualified tradepeople...unlike some "specialist" body kit places....

There is also Caboolture Crash...geez all the names sound the same...but anyway they also do a good job

Thanks guys but Morayfield and Caboolture are a little far away Im afraid... Think I might see how I go with the local shops...

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
