had quite a few power spikes at work tonight. was interesting. lights flash out, dealers, inspectors, and pit bosses instantly go on the gaurd, and half the punters start weighing up their chances of snatching some 500's. :)

also, f**kin lovin the way the 200 drives now, new clutch made a HUGE difference. and the apexi pipes sound prety awesome too.

LOL okay, so I'm sitting in the office here at SA Water, and hear this car revving out the front. It sounds like a old school V8 or something crazy. So I walked to the windows and looked down, and see this banged up VN Commodore, with faded paint all over it, no front bar, a smashed window and a crazy guy in the drivers seat.

Anyway, so he keeps revving the car, reverses super quick into a ute parked behind him (actually hits the ute, dents the front bar... but no one was in the ute), takes off to the end of the street and then rips a massive skid in front of the law courts in Victoria Square!! And then takes off down the street with smoke everywhere.

The thing sounded nuts! But shit... to rip a skid out the front of the courts?! at 11:30am in full view of everyone?!! Crazy.

    • 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.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • 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.
    • 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.
