Well Ive dropped my car off at C-Red in Perth to get the car complianced, and, unfortunately I can invision this to be a painstaking experience already. Today I was greated with news that the engineer is not happy with the condition of the door sills and chassis rails and would like them tidied up before he even contemplates signing off on it.

Has anyone ever had their chassis rails 'tidied' up. As far as I was aware they werent stoved in at all, but there was alot of scrapes down them from the car being too low (skateboard grinding over speedhumps rings a bell). The front of the rails were in OK condition from what I can remember. They have said that they have been badly repaired in the past....

Is the poor taxi doomed and destined to be a track car only? :D

i think i hear a cash drawer opening....

...no wait that's the PCP i smoked earlier playing tricks on my mind

he would be reluctant to say becuase he'd wanna charge to do it himself...

obviously if one has ever met Jai he has his own "do it yourself" approach to cars

i agree with the above posts

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
