Yeh you were the guy at the Old skool, new age show at the autobarn booth thing? Your car looked pretty nice from what i remember. Always asked for the other dude in autobarn cos i thought he owned the 33 LOL I was in there not that long ago asking about O rings for fuel injectors, think it was you that i asked.

But yeh, i'd rather go there then to supercheap, nothing against supercheap, just know my way around autobarn and havn't had any problems with them.

haha yea my 33 was there and i was on the booth all day.i think i remember the 0 rings lol.

mate you probably could've said all that without the moron bit.......especially after telling Ryan and everyone else on here where you work

i dont see how me calling him a moron will make a difference in any thing.

Ryan was trying to wind him up and he succeeded... no harm no foul. The 200% bit was said in jest and so (I would Assume) was the moron bit.

how ever he is correct.

soOOoOoOo.. anyways.....enough about AB what about car toys -,-'zzzz... damn over priced products! lol

If I walk into a place and don't see prices shown on the products, I leave straight away. Car Toys is one of those places :nyaanyaa:

Not when its "customer feedback" :P

its not customer feedback when its on a forum......its customer feedback when its gets directed back to the business you dealt with

having said that.......stating that Car Toys are too expensive is not slander (I tend to agree)

but flaming staff and their business practices can be seen as slander :)

Its called freedom of speech. "Customer feedback" or "slander", either way there's alot of unhappy customers.

If their service is shit, then they'd have to expect to be flamed ... starting on forums.

I'd want advice on whats hot and whats not and where to shop. I don't want to be answered on "should I buy an intercooler from Autobarn" with an answer like "No, but I can't tell you why, because I might upset someone". :P

I dont want to cause any more shit fights about slander but if someones had a bad experience with a particular vendor, i would like to know so i dont run into the same problem. Everyone has their own opinion about certain places but feedback is good.

agree

Dont the rules state to use the PM function to inform people of "bad" business's?? By all means make a thread if your unhappy but then wait for people to request PMs, until the workshop is bagged! If people dont care if you or someone else has been miss treated then thats their bad luck!!

Your right feed back is great, but rules are rules!!

Its called freedom of speech.

You maybe surprised to hear that there's no such thing these days.....we're all accountable for every word that comes out of our mouth these days and its all because of political correctness and the way we've followed America's litigeous ways.

I agree Ryan, I would like to know if someone's a shark out there also but thats what PM is for unless we can give details of a specific incident and back it up if challenged about it.

Random flaming of a business is slander and against forum rules whether we agree with it or not.

I actually agree with you guys about important info being passed on but it has to be accurate and substantiated or else inoccent businesses and people can suffer from it and any loss they suffer in their hip pocket can result in a compensation lawsuit. Magistrates are overcrowded with this stuff everyday.

This is a pretty interesting subject so I'll just add another thing.

You'll be surprised how easy it is for someone these days to get money out of you.

If you slander a business and their sales happen to go down as a consequence or on the other hand if you slander a small operator and he decides to stop working due to stress, they can file against you in the Adelaide or Elizabeth Magistrates Court for up to $5000 and serve you the documents personally without it costing them a cent because they wont necessarily need a lawyer for that amount and you don't need to be licenced these days to be a Process Server, anyone can serve you a summons.

Food for thought........

If all you clowns out there think for a second that nothing is marked up by more than 200% then your all on crack........

Most items are either marked up by MORE than 200% or if the price is falling then its being made by cheaper resources(due to inflation), and even then it will be making more than 200% profit, Deal with it, or make it yourself!! and besides you gotta expect the "bigger" joints to charge more, just like every other thing in this world!!

Yeah too true Darren, its called a monopoly......and I'm not referring to the Parker Brothers variety either :)

The worlds gone soft, that what it is. :)

Sounds like the above-mentioned AB store is on its way out anyway. I don't think its slander, but point taken.

:(

Tis indeed food for thought however they'd have to prove that your opinion isnt based in fact (and therefore becomes slander) and then once that is proven, they'll have to prove that the slander directly caused a loss of profit. And if they do decide to sue, you can countersue for emotional distress and other nonsense.. if it is in print it's Libel anyway, and to be considered 'libel' it needs to be published (which I'm totally not sure whether a forum is considered published, my gut tells me "no" as there isnt an editor that vets the post before they're made public)

Anyone here a lawyer? Its ok, u can admit it. We won't hurt u >:(

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
