Where Do You Wash Your Pride And Joy?


Recommended Posts

I use the sparkling car wash in Burwood. It's right near the Vicroads. Good for bucket washing when times are quiet. Always have fairly clean bays too, and plenty of space to chamois or clean/admire your car.

Yeah i wash there too..its only 2 minutes down the road from my house.i wanna try the new one near the burvale on burwiood hwy tho

hahaha. tkdbboy isnt that car wash one of those leave your car there and people clean it ? i didnt think you could clean your own car there or can you? i only driven past it once or twice

I travel all the way to Sparkling Car Wash once every fortnight to wash my car there too with all of my friends.. we try to go when there's no one else there because we tend to fill up the whole place haha.

Once the one opens on Williamsons Road, I'll be going there to try it out too since it's 5 mins from home but Sparkling will probably be the main home for me to meet with everyone to wash at since they all live out east /south east side, it's a central meeting spot for us!

Yeah Sparkling always has some Civic or Subaru meet going on there. I admit it's close to home (main reason for going there), but I always feel at home there because it's like a car enthusiasts car wash. I reckon a good 80% of the cars that go there are sports cars, particularly in the bucket washing hours.

i only go to sparkling carwash cos i usually dont have any wheel cleaner and i need to hit up the K-mart down the road. the entrance and exit are quite scrapable for lowered cars

oh and...http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Me...tr-t190805.html

wow im surprised how many ppl on sau actually go to and use that sparkling cvar wash on burwood hwy thats pretty close to my house i always drive past i rarely see skylines there lol. i use sometimes the bp ones but my favourite is the aspendale gardens car wash corner of springvale n wells road.

what is this sparkling carwash? sorry for the n00b question, cars been in the shop for 6 months now.

yeahh the entrances on sevenoaks rd for the carwash burwood hwy isnt the best...going in its alright but coming out you will probably scrape even on angle...i alwasy use the one way entrance on burwood hwy :happy: so i dont scrape..

Has anyone seen those guys selling car wash in a can at the servos...they ask ridiculous prices but you can barter heaps and get it for half what they are asking...i reckon the stuffs brilliant..

i washed 3 filthy cars with it and still had a half a can left..plus it leaves a nice waxy shine afterwards....im not selling the crap..but i do think its good

plus its waterless so good for the environment...which means i can spend 10 mins in the shower now >_<

when i say half , i mean a quarter of the original price they quote which they then half..

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
