thats good to hear the interest .. i'm going to go see this guy today ... surprising thing is more and more people have recommended this guy ... since i've been askin people about tint ... but yeah get prices later today ... if u could please post your prices then that would be good ... it would also be good to have a receipt too .. i'm more worried about quality and guarantee then price really .. but good to have cheap tint too :D

If you are worried bout the dark tint, do what I did when I got pulled over when I had my white one with dark tint. Have the windows down then they cant ask you to put them up, it worked for me.

why can't they ask u to put them up?? i guess they could .. but i was thinkin of this because i want dark tint for sun protection and thats illegal ... the other good thing about dark tint is so people lookin to steal stuff can't see inside your car ... they are the 2 main reasons why i would want darker tint .. 3rd is because it just looks good :D

OK i just went to SCORPION TINT just off main north rd.

The price is 295 for his best tint, his regular price is 365 but the normal rrp of the tint from the tint maker is 495.

The tint is called endurance, its a metal film and not a dye, colour type which is prone to fading which is what just about every other film is on the market including tint a cars top film, formulae 1. Someone correct me on that one if i'm wrong. So yeah basically this film will have a lifetime warranty on it on everything, fading, colour, clarity etc etc. and its a true lifetime warranty, regular lifetime warranty is 6.5 years which is set by the film industry or whatever it is, can't remember the exact name. so anyways there are different types u can get, legal, not legal u just gotta go there and chose. he also has lots of other tints which doesn't cost as much but i want the best cause this one reduces heat by 60-70%, i dont' have all the specs with me but this is what i want. he said that if we find anyone else doing the same tint for a better price then for us to tell him.

so yeah what are ur thoughts??

you really can't compare this tint to say something from tint a car .. its like comparing holdens to fords its just different so i guess i just like this one cause its better.

1 more thing is .. 295 seemed ok but i bet if we got 10 poeple he might do it for less maybe ... the problem is that he doesn't want to get burnt in that we say we got 10 15 .. whatever amound of people and then everyone backs out in the end so he ends up doing a really cheap tint for 2 people, he said its happened to him before so thats why he was didnt' want to give a price for 10 people ... he rather just gave us like 50 buck discount ... i couldn't persuade him to give a price for 10 people ... i also even said i would give him a deposite for everyone who was interested and that he could keep the deposite if those people backed out... but he said he didn't like that cause he didnt' like the idea of takin peoples money ... he was very honest and straight forward and didn't knock the competition... he would of spent at least half an hour with me just talkin and explaining stuff ... good customer service is hard to come by these days... :D

another thing which i asked the tinter guy, it is in fact illegal to tint the front 2 windows as hard as it is to beleive, the reason why so many people think its ok to tint the front is because the laws in SA are behind the other states which allow the fronts to be tinted to 35%, i'm not too sure about the tinting of the back windows though.

Sounds good, so thats for both front windows, rear window and the two smaller ones behind the front windows?

Did that guy mention anyhting about how much it cost to take old tint off, as I have shitty tint on the rear window and the two smaller windows that needs to be removed

How hard is the old stuff to get off?? Will a couple of hours of attacking it with a stanley knife blade and some solvent get it off?

yeah .. i edited first post .. 60 bucks to get it off i think .. unless u want to do it urself .. u can go visit him urself .. just mention me i think he will remember .. then u can go see some of his work ... my friend did her car there last saturday .. turned out pretty good... and she paid 365 .. so i guess 295 is pretty good.

Cool, for 65 bucks I'd rather get them to do it, I can see myself making a huge mess just to save $65!! Best to let the pro's do it

Put me down for sure, sounds really good

Good work getting this going!!

yeah 295 thats what u get .. but hey if u think this is too expensive he has others ... go to tint a car and the absolute best they will do for u is 250 and i doubt u will get that from them for their best tint which is btw not as good as this one ... but its up to u guys ... i'm going to try and get the price down further .. but i doubt i could squeeze much more out of the poor guy ... my best suggestion is to go to him and ask him what hes got ... he will take the time to talk to u and tell u stuff ... go to tint a car ... they won't explain shit i reckon ...

he will do passengers .. back sides and the back ... and u get to chose the tint darkness and maybe even the reflectiveness of the tint to i think. not 100% sure on that one.

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
