Had this happen to me once, so I know your pain ($800 damage to my car) which at the time was slightly over my excess so I just paid it as not to affect my rating.

When I found my car with the rear 1/4 about 20cm in towards my boot I Was :rant: :rant:

and people looking on where :O

Don't think they'd heard that kind of language for a while

chances are they could if it was audible. Everytime I have been to tafe I have taken down the plates of the 2 cars next to me and I have it in a place where I can see it from the lunch room. but im not going there again so if it gets parked, its in a public place where ppl walk past all the time or its in a car park with video surveilance.

at tafe some joker thought it was funny to twist my driver side side mirror the wrong way, now I got his plate number. if it happens that I find him, ill do worse to the little joker.

I had the same thing happen to me when i was out at Nightcrawler's. We went to 4-5 shops and only noticed the damage afterwards, so i don't even know if the car that hit me was parked there. Got a quote from work (staff rates) to get it fixed...... and after hearing the cost it can stay there

i have a phone full of pics of cars next to me in the carpark....once this prick in a 4wd parked literally 3 cm away from my car....if my misus wasnt there to talk me out of it i would have done something i prob would have regretted....

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
