Been without my car all week, depressing shit, dunno how some people leave their cars at mechanics for months on end when you can do everything at home!!

coz they're lazy kunts

had my car almost 3 years now only been to a workshop once for a timing belt change. should've done that myself too

red goes faster

ah ok yeah that is a bit too far i just wanna get the kit and put it in myself, was looking at a DIY on here before, pretty straight forward job.

these MV kits seem to be the most popular but aparently are only available in SA or something?

they send the valvebody to you, then you send your stock one to them once you do the swap. like an exchange kinda deal. lots of ppl in melbs run them

id give mv automatics a call im sure they can work something out or you can try and find my old car because it had the mv automatics shift kit in it lol.

i seeee do they have a website or something?

is there different kits or "stages"? i want the one that helps change gears quicker/instantly

nah last time i checked they didnt have a website. the kit you want is the mv automatics stage II shift kit. i have an article on it in one of my old hot 4's magazine where one of the guys got one of these installed he said it was worth it and once i got one im the same its really good.

For all the work getting done, it's basically the same price to respray the whole car.

Vu said my paint is faded so colour matching won't be 100% perfect anyway, hence the full respray.

Either way, I'm stoked with the price I'm getting! Also getting the front guards pulled at the same time :ermm:

Have fun with that.

at least if Vu misses patches on your car it will be red under red, not white under orange like krysiisisiiisuiisiisisu's first attempt paint job :huh:

sweet. i think i'll wait till one comes up for sale on these forums. its not too urgent atm

Lol, I know you had an issue with Vu... But the job he did on my old car was amazing. I couldn't fault it.

We'll see how this one goes.

how much were you quoted for a full respray if you dont mind me asking?

My car is gonna be gone for 2 weeks while its resprayed :P Then a few 2-dayers for other work like gearbox etc.

Replacement car? My boss's old 1994 Magna. Lovely..

least you don't have to take the train 4/5 days a week

that doesn't say a lot since you couldn't fault a car that had been banana'd. :P
you mean drifteks?

-____-

doesnt pat already have dteks?

learn your wheels you dropkick.

Drifteks are multi-stud and have less aggresive angle on the spokes.

Uras are 5 stud, look much better and a japanese company.

(To Funky; even IF you claim dteks and uras' are made in the same factory, would like to see proof on this, that doesnt mean it is the same. Material, tolerence limits and quality make the product. Just because they are in the same building doesnt mean they all follow the same requirements/limits. )

I'll pay that :)

But seriously, they did a great job. Especially given the crappy asian bodykit I provided them with.

fuck you. they're both cheap shitty knockoff wheels regardless of where your high and mighty ass wants to source them from. you wanna pull the material tolerance engineering card, fuck your ghetto ass, go get some TE37's and do it right. Don't try and validate your ghettoness.

Uras and Driteks can both suck on my nutts.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
