Luck was not on my side on tuesday night.

I was driving home from albany and a pack of roos decided to have a go at my car. one of them took out my front end busting the front spoiler and lights an another two bounced off the sides of the car.

The damage left the car undrivable and a broken peice of the radiator shroud cut the timing belt by the looks. Now I have to wait for the whole insurance thing, before I can drive around again.

Rev look at it as a blssing.

Now you get all new paint redone and stone chips removed. While its at the paint shop get all the little imperfections fixed for a little extra cash.... and presto.. NEW CAR.

Sorry to hear the troubles mate. I've been lucky enough to avoid any roos on the drive back home to Albany occasionally but have seen the damage those buggers ONE can do but three? Ouch.

I agree w/ IMACUL8 - bellsing in diguise - time to get those little imperfections fixed.

rule number one of driving the nullabour

(note i have done it 20 times in a car and 100+++++ in buses and trucks)

if in anything smaller than a 20 tonne truck fitted with a bullbar DONT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT the roos come to the side of the road to eat the fresh grass etc growing in the culverts especially after a bit of rain

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
