no offence but have you checked with Ben?

it's not a Dyno day - I don't think it's fair that a mob come down to "check it out!!"

it's a business after all (and a good one at that)

just to look at the car thats all not to look when they are doing the tune though. thats wat i mean and get together to see everyone elses cos i missed the cruise the other day. I know Alex will come down since hes in the area and some other guys in the area as well

:nyaanyaa:

But seriously, if you can't see how this may not be in the business owner's interests, then that's fine.

A lot of guys have their car worked on by Racepace, I for one try to stay out of Ben's way because he is so busy.

OK so it's not my shop but if you put yourself in the the business' shoes, they may not feel it is appropriate for people who don't own cars in the shop to wander in.

In this age of litigation, a well run mechanical workshop will not allow any non-workers into the shop because of the high risk for potential injury and subsequent legal action.

That's fine if you disagree munch, but business is business... how many of these so-called tuner shops have been and gone, that are more of a 'fast & furious' garage where everyone is mates, then BANG 3 months go by and they've become insolvent.

I think I'm done here.

yeah mate i know Alex is close to there... maybe i misunderstood your initial post.

like i said, not having a go, but just trying to give you the heads-up that's all.

Ben is a great operator - it will run well once it's done - good luck!

Actually Ronin has a valid point.

Ben will most probably not appreciate people coming into his w/shop, just to meet eachother and look at cars. It is a place of business and he is a VERY busy person. If people are genuine about getting work done by him, i'm sure he will be very helpful, but to use his business as a meeting place, without his permission is really silly.

Just because you are paying to do a job, does not entitle you to organise meets during working hours. I'm sure you would feel the same at your place of employment :/ .

who says they are all planning on being in the workshop?

they want to catch up and have a chat to other stagea owners about all things stagea...which doesnt involve strolling straight into the workshop and getting in the way of staff.

ok guys perhaps i should rephrase. catching up after the tune right outside the workshop and not intefering with the mans job or business.

Meet atthe curbside its fine thats what i meant anyways. soz for the misunderstanding. I dont mean to invade Ben's workshop but meet up with other stagea owners (if the want to come) and chit chat outside the workshop outta of Ben's way of course. Clear guys?! Dont start on me now :/

no offence taken :D

Understand your point 100% and you are dead right. These are not the type of guys that would be hanging in the workshop (someone elses) but you're not to know that... Only reason Yudy made the call was that he lives a couple of hundred clicks out of town (and OS mostly of late) and does't get much chance to see, let alone chat to (in person) another Stagea owner. He can't very well drop the car off and head home, so that's where he will be until the job is done by the sounds of it.

I hope the boys can catch up as I know I won't be able to be there.

Cheers FFS

Yeah Yudy's typing skills are in need of some practise.

Anyway, it's not like it is going to be a mob, and it is not like they are going to be going into the workshop at all, and at no point was this ever implied.

Now you guys go have a beer for me when you get together :) I hope Yudy's english skills are better then his typing :P

      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.

      Rusty roof repair

      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.
