Can't say I've noticed that! With my new tyres and some fixed suspension my baby is holding to the ground like glue!

Spotted a gunmetal (or was it silver??? too early in the morning!) 33 turning from Ginninderra drive onto the GDE this morning on my way to work. As per usual when I make spottings, I was in the Audi :down:

Hmm well the tyres are nearly two years old with about 20,000km on them, i think.. Although, Kat, are you running the RS-R's, mine are only the SS's..

Nope I be running Bridgestone RE55's.

Funny though, you get used to how your car is feeling, I knew it needed work but I didn't quite realise how bad it was until I remembered how good it could feel when I got it back. I think that makes sense... Oh well it's Friday and my brain has officially shut down!

Also W1ngnut and someone in a gunmetal 32 with an SAU sticker that I haven't seen/met before both on Monary hwy this morning.

That was me :P - BTW it's Silver not Gun Metal (its a bit dirty at the moment though).

Haha spotted Trozzle and Bullet32 on Monaro this morning. Does anyone else think the roads might have a lot of dust/dirt on them? I felt like i had very low grip on the way to work and I don't think the 595's are due to be replaced already..

It was very slippery on the hwy this morning, its the left over crap from dirty rain on the surface of the road after the water dries up.

P.S. I love the wheels on your car! :devil:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
