got my weather sheilds off the otherday - after sitting on the car for 14 years they have pulled the plastic away from the body..

anyone know what my best route on fixing this would be?

picture here :mad:

the gluey stuff is taking forever to get off.. :P

shan i will hit you up when i need tyres, it seems because my car had been sitting for probably about a year + not doing anything in japan there is some small cracks in the tyres.. traction tyres suggested to get it replaced ASAP but kinda thinking they just want me to spend more money there.. as they are really only small cracks I might take some pics.

Anyways cheers all for the info :mad:

EDIT:

BC COILOVERS FTMFW, sooo much less bumpy then my brutal teins were, they feel sooo much better for a daily driver and no knock ftw.

what type of teins were they?

Terps and a razor blade but be careful with it ;) and a rag to help along the way and just be patient with it

ok, ive heard those ones are very stiff.

Yeah i'll probably sell them like uber cheap for someone that wants to chuck them in a track car or something, they do knock a bit so prob just sell to someone for like 100 or 200 bucks, worked fine on a few hill runs on my car.

do you remember this song

D:\Mp3\Albums\a to k\Billboard Top 100 Hits - 1992.(www.lokotorrents.com)\076 - Mc Hammer - Addams Gro.mp3

quality

They do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say

Live how they wanna live, play how they wanna play

Dance how they wanna dance, kick and they slap a friend

[The Addams Family]

was more the color I was objecting to :) lol they do a good knockoff

yeah they do a different green to, more of a taraka green that looks heaps better

hahah keen eye for the Rotas Nick!

haha loves it

Would black rota grids be a bad choice? heard some mixed stories about them breaking and shit.. I like them but would feel cheap or something i duno.. lol like buying fake Oakleys or something :D

mine will be here soon, flat black in 17s

the grids are fine man, there are 700+hp track cars using them in the US and they still dont break

too many people have hate towards them becuase of how many different jap wheels they copy

they are made well now

haha yeh I sold my GT-Cs want to go for a different look :D

I will spend on go fast mods! waiting for Trent to get back haha got some cash for a few goodies.. although the sucker already sucks petrol like a dirty whore compared to my old non turbo. (driving 60+ KM a day for work as a daily hurts my wallet when filling it up :D)

Paint my Challenge F-Zeros black or buy some rota grids in black?

Edit: Nick I recon flat black is hawt :) how much they set you back?

Haha no hurry, I hope he enjoys himself overseas its great there :D

Gives me a chance to get my KMs up a bit more over 79,000 and do a timing belt service and all the shit at the same time.

Also i need to find someone that can paint flat black.. places i have looked at only do like a gloss black, and seemed a little pricey quoted me $700 and more to keep my "volk racing" chrome.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
