Good info Luke, thanks for that.

Anyone got any good ones around Liverpool/Campbelltown (i.e. SW Sydney)? I've heard good things about Bridgestone in Liverpool, but never went there (yet). Apparently Jax Liverpool is pretty decent, but they had no interest in my requested settings when I went for an alignment, and just set toe to whatever (i.e. production line-spec in/out alignments).

Bridgestone Liverpool have been good with my Lancer :) (no idea about good cars).

Had a bit of a meh experience with another place a bit further east up Newbridge Rd... (not naming names but if you're from the area you can probably work it out)

Tis good to have referrals as it's in each franchisee's interest to serve the local community well. I'm sure that if there's a strictly controlled ethos from higher up then each centre gets the proper

OK, so even though I'm from the Blue Mtns, I was in the Parramatta area today after buying a steering wheel. In the back of the SUV, I had... a) a set of EVO Enkei rims with 2013 rubber and b) a se

This is confusing. Why did he just assume you we're going to give him your 2 of your enkeis?

Because I'm Asian I presume.

Three other Asian couples were there and a couple were charged $20 more for the same type of job than their (same race) mates.

The last two Enkeis I assume he thought I might forget to take them. And they were the best condition ones.

I'm also of the opinion that he had a mate who was short of a Nissan hexagonal wheel cap.

I asked the owner of JLM today if people of such a race take advantage of Asians > the answer is one I cannot say here.

At least you are an unusually observant person, and noticed the cap was missing before they shovelled you out the door; and it was too late.

Agreed, though it is interesting how some races have a higher percentage of arrogant ignorant inconsiderant self centered egotistical elitist arseholes who think they are better then every one else that isnt the same race as them for no apperant reason then other races do :D

Well I thought that $100 for my job was a bit over the top. And it had to be cash.

I can't say though what they were snig- gering about in reference to an Asian couple or the job on their Honda. Body language was all I could rely on between rattle gun bursts. Didn't sound personable.

That's fuarked... I personally just go to Taleb tyres and they're pretty good to me (also Asian).. however I'm not your typical small framed Asian and sound like a lebo half the time (grew up with them in Fairfield) so that possibly helps them behave.

They let me walk up to my car and inspect on what they were doing... so thumbs up to them

Yes thank you Anthony, Dale Nick and others...

Even at my age I'm willing to take people at face value, but when things start to unravel, heightened vigilance goes through the roof.

      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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
