Do they price match Option1 like the adelaide tyrepower on Kuhmos?

Customer service sucks at Adeliade tyrepower - 2 days called in a row, he said he'll check with his Kuhmo provider and then get back to me... Both days he didnt call.. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I hate it when people dont go through with promises

was about to say it, but dave beat me to it

yeah, theyre a bit average recently. sort of annoying. but theyve had one bloke quit, and anothers taking time off for his wedding, so theyre a little undermanned. if you havent got your quote by tomorrow, im heading down there for some prices for someone else, so ill quote up yours aswell. 235/45's yeah?

more than a lil undermanned dave, terry and sharon are gone as well as troy, so its basically adam and chris running the show LOL. was talkin to chris today and they've been flat out all week

things SHOULD return to normal in the next week or so. ive had cases like that before, where it takes some time for them to get back to you. Plenty of other businesses have done that, some dont even ring you back as promised (especially getting quotes on 400 bucks worth of gauges)

Thanks Andrew (Nightcrawler) for the ticket to the Clipsal today. Had a great time and thought you guys might appreciate some of the pics.

Apparently there were cars there as well...

No worries David, glad you enjoyed the day. :blush:

I have managed to sell all of the extra 4 tickets for tomorrow, so just have 1 spare Gold Pit Entry ticket (a nice seat) for Sunday left for $50 if anyone knows anyone. General admission normally costs $85 fyi, so even if you just buy it to get entry to the track it is a great deal.

hey david after carful viewing of your pics the fujitsu girl is the prettyest one of them all

I agree but she didn't seem all that bright as she kept stuffing up the spiel they had been instructed to tell everyone. Not that I would hold that against her - maybe she was nervous in my presence :blush:

I quite liked the Norton's girl as well, a better height match too although the Fujitsu girl was wearing FMBs with a lot of heel.

I took a photo of Andrew with 3 of the Fujitsu girls that he posted in Facebook that were probably the best trio we encountered all day. There were a couple of promo girls that we bypassed as ... well... they looked a bit... um... skanky.

Ive heard some pretty horrific stories about some of those promo girls from people... more than once...

anyway, the photo with the JD girls, the one on the left looks like someone I went to school with.

Actually I give kudos to the girls.

They are working all day, usually in heels, with guys all day asking to have photos taken with them which they dutifully do and smile in. Some of these guys would be trying to cop a feel or squeeze something that doesn't belong to them. Andrew, Nick and I did the promo girl cruise about 3pm and you could tell quite a few of them were pretty tired but they were all friendly and all smiled for us.

Of course they get paid good $ as well so that helps but it would be a long, hot day with a bunch off strangers touching you all day and leering from a distance.

Pretty sure the JD girl on the far left used to work at (maybe still does?) the Modbury Plaza Hotel

so, anyone not going to the race today that has a bit of auto elec knowledge want to help me out? need to suss out my spotties badly, sick of not having them (especially after drowning my headlights last weekend and losing some of the reflector LOL). from what ive checked of the wiring its all good, someone did mention in passing that where im getting the trigger from may not be triggering the relay quick enough, so its popping the fuse instead

ive got a house elec job to do around lunchtime, so pretty much after that im available. will even come to you :blush:

Does anyone know how or if it's possible to go on the PSN with mobile wireless Broadband (that little dongle thingo)

I went to change my network settings to wireless but need a WEP code which I dont know how to get.

Wanting to play Battlefield Bad Company 2 online pretty bad! haha

HELP PLEASE!

a 3G dongle? not by plugging it directly in to a playstation. You would need to share it over an existing wired/wireless network and even then the 3G connection will be way too laggy to do any gaming.

Yes and No

Yes - You will need a Aximcom 3G router or Billion Modem Router, price will be ~$250-$350. 3G dongle shall plug into these devices and then hand out the signal either via Ethernet or Wireless. The WEP code is for Wireless networking - between pc's.

No - Plugging the device into the PS3 will not do anything, as the device needs a program to run correctly, and it is windows based, where as the PS3 is...Sony based :( .

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
