Hi All,

Just thougt I'd share my experience...

I wanted to give my car a freshen up, as the paint want in the best nick and was annoying me. So after some research and the help of SAU I found Vu (evilsub) from DT Panels in Springvale.

Went down to see him and chatted about what I wanted and what his thoughts were about the car and got the ball rolling. I have to say that dealing with Vu was a pleasure, its good to finally meet someone in the car business who's not a money hungry idiot for once. Everything was exactly as he said it would be, and I think they did an amazing job.

My car was black.... and I decided to change it to VW R32 Deep Pearl Blue and added GTR front bar, as I didnt want anything too wild, also decided I'd get rid of the spoiler while I was at it.

Anyways,

Here are some pics of the whole thing,

This is before - kinda looks like its good for parts!

Looks awesome! Vu and the team down at DT Panels do great work every time!

In fact my car is down there right now getting the DT treatment :D I'm going to pick it up later today woohoo!

I'd recommend people who are looking for work done go to speak with Vu because he's a real perfectionist with his work and shares a love of cars like us too ;)

CEF11E Haha - told you they would look ok :P

I've seen that blue GTR in the Dandenong area, thats not me though, in the flesh my car is darker, thats more a bayside blue (and not a GTR :down: )

Thanks for the comments, when I went to pick the car up my jaw just fell open... I was like um wow

As for Vu doing it all for so cheap, I dunno either, but i'll keep seeing him while his work is this good!

Cheers

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
