First started off running late for work. Then I took off down ennis ave, got to about 90-100 and i heard a loud tick tick tick, pulled over and it seems that my right front tyre had delaminated (which had been pretty bad for a while I admit).

SO, i goto get a price for a new tyre, and one of the workers there reversed into my car while it was parked in their car park. About $1400 worth of damage apparently, also turns out that all the local panelbeaters have already finished for xmas and they wont be back until Jan 4 (one not back for 4 weeks!?!)

Turning out to be a good xmas so far

the mofo who was 'fixing my car' put a friggin ciggerette lighter burn (im talking like massive and almost purposely) in my otherwise perfect back seats. wtf was h e doin in the backseat, and why the hell are there lollie wrappers on the back floor?

then some mofo ran a trolly up one of me panels, leaving a nice litle xmas racing line infront of the rear 1/4 panel.

thank you garden city patrons!

I had the exact same thing happen to my RX7, the guy told me that he took it for a test drive around the block and dropped his smoke out the window ( WHY THE CRAP WAS HE SMOKING IN MY CAR ???) I found the smoke on the back seat with a burn mark about 3cm wide, If it was the front seats he would have died.. $350 each.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.

      I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Hey guys, Purchased and drove up new wheels from Vic last weekend. Car never been registered in Aus before. Only thing was aware of was pod filter which reverted back to stock. Went to get blue slip in western sydney. Everything with car fine (compliance etc) and knocked back for coilovers. Was told illegal and need engineering cert. Called the certifier they recommended and was told at min $1000 to certify them. I was then told HP can STILL defect you even with them certified. All this was news to me. Is this just a case of deal with pay the $1000 and run the risk? Kind of nuts given the amount of people running with coils I know of. No one I know has OEMs to use to pass, either.

      Welcome mate. Best Stagea is best Stagea. How is it driving a correct hand drive vehicle driving on the right? The Japanese do the opposite here and they've made parking boom gate ticket things on both sides to cater for LHD and RHD cars, as there's so many of them (mostly German but there are quite a few American cars too).
