got my car back on friday after 8 weeks :)

very happy with how it turned out too! it's abit dirty in the photos but you get the idea.

im leaving for bali on thursday so when i get back im heading to boostworx, ET and a few other places to get some more power and a new alarm considering what happened last time :P and coilovers to drop it on its guts

every panel was stripped from the car and painted individually so you cant even tell it was another colour

Looks the part :rolleyes: Unfortunately mine is going back to Doyle's AGAIN, been having serious problems with the paint work, apparently one of their suppliers have had dodgy batches of paint or something along those lines so I'm looking forward to getting my problems sorted once and for all :thumbsup: May I ask roughly how much a full respray like that cost?

that sucks man, hope you get it sorted.

cant give you an perfect price as insurence took most of the cost away becasue of damage cost when someone tried breaking into my car but with everything i would say around 6k-7k give or take with kit and all panels taken off and sprayed

Cheers bud, hopefully this time will be the last time I'll have to take it back. Was toying with the idea of getting mine resprayed but seeing as I'll probably be selling soon it's not worth it, better off doing it on the next car

very nice job mate.

Good luck with the cops and the offset of those rear rims though - 1st Saturday night down the Bay or Anzac International Raceway and you're toast with a defect station.

been there done that, defected for that once before. once i lower it the irs should handle how much it sticks out plus abit of camber :D

the offset makes the car look abit better i think though too

Looks sweet, great colour for a show car.

Make sure you get an alarm ASAP - don't put it off, so much scum in this world!

dont worry dude, im not sparing a cent when it comes to alarm after what happened last time.

thanks for the comments guys :D

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
