wtf? did autobahn tell you they were gonna do that to your car? lol... since when were audio installers allowed to take such big chunks out of your car?

I took out my child restraints. :P

my car didn't come with child retraints,

hmmm guessing my compliance might have been a "yea she'll b right mate, it's all good."

whilst getting a tick in the box for passing. lol

^^^ Agreed.

They probably thought that this damage will 'never see the light of day'!

Due care had to be taken to NOT WEAKEN ANY STRESS POINTS!

mate from looking at those pics i say you may be in a bit of trouble.

from what i rember reading about is that your not allowed to cut any part of the car as it may casue structal integrity and from the looks of the pics that may be the case but im not enginner so dont take my word.

how ever i would be haveing a word to autobarn about why they did that and try and get them to pay for any repairs.

brentt

ouch, lucky you're not in SA...

After they find that the parcel shelf has been cut in any way your car is blacklisted. Never to pass or be re-registered again.

Ive only heard of one person getting it fixed and engineered and it most definitely wasn't anywhere near a cheap exercise.

But that's SA for ya...

The parcel shelf issue is exactly why i bought a $30 pair of plastic speaker spacers for the 6 x 9's i installed in my Laurel when i had it.

I sold it to a guy in SA who got in trouble because part of the plastic plugs in the child restraints were covered by them......................

    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
