For stuff that's never arrived, yes

It arrived, but isn't what it was supposed to be in the sense that it doesn't fit.

The ad said fits 'most' Hondas, but then says 'I use it on my CBR 600RR', which is what I have, yet it's the wrong connection altogether.

They'll refund it no worries, but the item was like $8 (bought 2 so $16), then paid $30 something for express postage.. so they'll only refund me what I paid for the item, and probably want me to pay for the return postage as well, which means it won't be worth it at all.

Was wondering if a paypal dispute or whatever it's called will get me my $50 back

New iPad mini as a head unit.. what you think?

like what Mighty car mods did, except removable..

to me sounds like an awesome idea.

you can use it for maps / banking / music / etc etc while on the go

might look a bit strange but idea behind it is pro imo.

well yeh, i can get an RCA splitter and wire it into an amp - speakers, can get EQ apps all the lap timing apps OBD reader from it too so it seems like the perfect Idea..all my music, movies everything can be accessed, and i can take it out of the car as I please..

plus the radio in there doesnt have a radio for aus, doesnt play mp3, let alone have a USB.. and the mini fits near perfect for the two din.. 7.9"

Why though? Because its an apple? Or the whole idea itself

Not because its apple (I own a ipad / iphone myself) I dunno I just didn't really like the idea itself at first.. just seems a bit ricey when you can buy good headunits already :P but when you think about it could work well

Plus it would need to be a very clean install to pull it off, I didn't think of the GPS / laptime capability though so yeah might be good.. just make sure it's installed legit and not like this:

hmm, I think I've had postage refunded - but yeah, they usually make you pay return postage

Yeah a PayPal dispute usually gets you a full refund. You and a seller both get a chance to plead your case and then PayPal make their decision based on the evidence. It could go either way but generally they'll side with the buyer

might call him and see if he has a mold, he's interstate unfortunately..

yeah i think you would prob need to go with one of the android tablets to get a better look tbh

the android tablets look shit. IMO anyway.

lol yeh i dont want to mount it inside the dash, i want to be able to remove it when Im at home or leaving the car parked for long times..

basically sits perfectly directly in front, which means I wont have to cut the dash, and IF i do decide to put a head unit back in, i stil have a dash.

sounds like you found an actual use for an iPad.

lol

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
