Hey guys,

Just making a post to inform everyone about a good experience with one of our SAU VIC supporters, John from PDR-TEK.

My old lady's car had a decent dint in the rear qtr panel of her Astra, his work was great.. I didn't think he would have been able to get the dint out, let alone get it close to 100%. Looking at the panel now, you would never pick that a dint used to be their.

He did the job at her work and spent a few hours perfecting his work, even helped out another person at her work!

If you sign up to become a VIC member and present your card he will look after you, as he did for me :thumbsup:

If you guys are interested here is his contact details:

Good one Mark!

- I was reading the SAU-VIC Sponsors the other day and wondering about this as my new car has a new ding on EACH SIDE! GRRR..

Will have to get this done as well but the dents are really small and hardy noticeable to most people. BUT not to ME! ;D

Can he make the panel back perfect?

haha i know what you mean, nothing worse then getting those first few dints on a new car!

Depending on the access you have to the back of panel and what the dint is like will depend on how well he can get it out. Even if he cant get a dint out 100%, he says he can get it close or would be able to considerably improve it.

Best bet is have a chat to him, or send him some pics so he can let you know.

Hi guys, thanks for the kind words. As for a perfect finish that is what i aim for. Obviously some dents are just too big or the metal has been stretched, but in most cases i can improve the dent to a point where it can hardly be noticed. Smaller dings and dents i can usually get a perfect or near perfect result.

Cheers

i bought my car with a few blemishes and they've always annoyed me...

what kinda dollars am i in for, for the average job by john?

Hi Sam, i am sure you can appreciate it is very hard for me to provide a accurate quote without seeing the dent first. If you can send a few digital photo's to [email protected] i can have a look, or have a look at my website here at www.pdrtek.com.au or just give me a call to arrange a time and i can come out and supply a quote. As a very rough guide dents the size of a 5 cent coin will start at $60 for SAU members, if you have a few dents on the same panel then i will discount to do a few dents on the same panel.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

John

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
