Hey guys,

I was wondering if there are any tow companies you guys could recommend around the Northern Beaches- need to get an unregistered car from Hornsby to Manly.

Yes, I've checked the yellow pages and found plenty, but thought I might check if anyone here has a preferred option or a cheap option as there are a fair few Northern'ers round here :D

Thanks,

Rick

Yes in theory you should get a ONE DAY PERMIT (like $22?) and the cops can screw you over if they wish to but in many cases they can call up your mechanic to check or they may even follow you to the mechanics.

Just be polite and be nice to the police. Most of the times they don't know the law to the very letter.

T.

Yeah, I hadn't actually considered driving it, especially as its not actually my car... could get into some trouble :rofl:

Turns out the location to which I am taking the vehicle is equipt with an in-house transporter - makes my life easy :D

Thanks for the tips guys, might be one to save for a search

How much is NRMA Roadside though?

Going by their website, either their Basic Care or Premium Care packages offer the free towing for upto 20km (with unlimited callouts).. They are $77.50 and $140.00 per annum respectively.

That's the same, if not LESS than what you'd pay for a towie once off.

Ahh VIP towing.

Simon Symons :) hes a champ and will DEFINATELY hook you up.

Hes prolly the most well known towie on the northside. I know an absolute S$$$load of people with mod cars that Simon has helped.

:werd:

helped me out heaps :D

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
