The reason i have not put a month figure is because i have only really had it for half that time as its in and out of workshops everywhere getting it ready for next years Jambo...

ATM my car is in a Driftking @ Aspley (has been there for 3 weeks now) NOT HAPPY JAN... I have good things to say about their work... Just that it takes so god damn long... (and he cant stick to a quote the price has risen over 1 grand)

Hey Red Sky II, I registered my Spec II Yesterday. Took me from 7:30 in the morning when they open to 4:20 in the afternoon to get it done, fantastic. I would like to say thank you very &*(@$*&% much to the boyz at east perth licencing. DONT GO THERE if the car has any mods. They ran me around all day because of an aftermarket front bar and round clear front indicators. If its stock then no worries. Good luck

Mine got knocked back yesterday afternoon at Welshpool due to a supposed hairline fracture in the front of the muffler and they wanted some disconnected, non-functioning aftermarket foglamps removed. Gotta try again on Monday now.

Stupid thing is that in the boot or hidden elsewhere were the mods that were removed for compliance and registration (eg turbo timer, Air Flow meter, strut brace, racing pedals, etc, Blitz BOV). What do they think I am going to do with them once registered - leave them in the boot !!!

thats hopeless hey, They didnt even get to the boot of mine.

He cheked everything that they normally do, like suspension etc, lighting , horn, wipers ....etc and then went underneath and looked around, nothing to report there because the car is dead stock except for the front bar, thats it. Then as he was walking in to go do my paperwork he decided maybe he should scrutinise the front bar alittle more.

I hope that they dont give you any more crap. its easier to rock up to a carline muffler centre and just get them to give you a report to say that the muffler etc is fine and not leaking and that should be kewl. it seems to me that it is all about liability. as long as someone else is willing to say it is okay and put their name to it then they are happy with that.

what a bunch of Kn*bs

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
