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......................

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
