I spent the drive on my low boost setting, as soon as I put it on high boost the car breaks traction in the slightest drizzle and those winding country roads at 120km/hr isnt the place to be breaking traction... too many trees around *shudder* I've found the dunlop SP9000 to be great tyres, but they arnt cheap at $350/tyre for 225/50

i would rather pay more and put good quality into my car than have shit like i have now that u only have to replace anyway and spend more money on - im one of these people that have learnt that cheap n nasty ends up costing u more money in the long run!

always thought u car was blue from your avatar Rob hehe got a shock when isaw it was black - now i look at the avatar it is black its just i mustve been colour blind before!!

Parting with cash is always hard - but i usually just use it on stuff i need with my car - haha wish i could afford wank factor.

yeah i think i'll have an early night - invited someone over but havent heard back so thats cool. Dont want to go to work tommorrow - already depressed enough - that place will send me crazy . Was suppose to be using this weekend to fill out job application etc but i'll do that later i think.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
