    Council road works car damage

    No signage? What about operating machinery? If there was machinery operating on site and no signage you've got a leg to stand on.. However you say they shouldn't open the road until its set properly.. Bitumen can take 3-4 days to actually set because of residual heat in the road.. So how do...

    Council road works car damage

    Fact of matter is you probably drove through a signed roadworks site.. Provided the bitumen had been sprayed, aggregate spread and proof rolled and loose stone road work signs.. The government has no obligation to pay for nothing., Edit: having worked in government Clair is bang on..

    Century ultra heavy duty.. 660-680CCA here.. Works fine.. One of my mates runs an optima blue top. 800CCA I think.. It also runs fine.

    Cam for Vz ss 5.7ltr Manual

    Wasn't there a thread here somewhere.. Where a dude had the hole driven through the throttle blade but a different tuner fixed all his problems without needing the hole? But your issues sound tune related to me mate.. I took mine back to the tuner 3 times until I was happy with how it drives on...

    Mazda 1996 75.000km original 1 owner?

    $1200-$2000 If you're lucky.. Low kays or not.. It's a 17 year old car.. Unfortunately mate a 121 ain't exactly a collectors item.. When my grandad died in 2006 I had to sell off his absolutely mint 1987 Ford Telstar with only 12,000kms on the clock.. I got $700 for it..

    Mechanics worth $80+/hr?

    That's a champion effort.. I probably couldn't do half the job you did but I have tried detailing my own cars before.. It's not easy work..

    Mechanics worth $80+/hr?

    ^^ this guy.. The company I work for charges staff out between $150 and $250 per hour.. Little bit more then $10 profit.. But after overheads like travel etc we consider a 10-15% profit well done.

    Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

    Yeah people will complain if its a five day thing.. Especially if the dogs didn't howl before.. My dog is well cared for and he barks from time to time.. Maybe that's because I live 200m from a kennel and all those dogs howl which sets him off.. But.. Since he's barking I must be an...

    VE SS XForce Cat-Back DIY install help!

    No.. From an experience in a mates car who changed the rear mufflers to hot dogs.. It will destroy your ear drums at highway speeds on slight uphill grades..

    Gave car a good belting now knocking when cold??

    Haha sorry but on a road in most situations a new WRX will outperform a V8.. And no I'm not in primary school.. And I have owned a WRX.. Your V8 will only win on a drag strip..

    New career path, trades people who have done something else?

    Haha yeah that's why I left.. I took every bit of training offered in government.. Even got a bunch of exemptions at uni from doing certain courses. Then I left and went private.. Doubled salary, got paid overtime (government did flex time not overtime) and a company car..

    Gave car a good belting now knocking when cold??

    Sorry dude.. I missed that post.. But yeah ticking noises when cold can be alot of things.. Mine used to tick but went away when new lifters got put in..

    New career path, trades people who have done something else?

    I kinda disagree a bit.. Councils/government are excellent places to start.. That way you can get known by the contractors.. If you're a hard worker and they see it job offers follow.. You can do scholarships or cadetships through government departments for engineering.. Worked for me.. Have...

    Smash ya pulley bearings with a bit of spray lube.. That'll at least rule them out..

    Gave car a good belting now knocking when cold??

    My guess would be to first check your pulleys.. And what did the WRX do to piss you off so much? If it had a decent driver you would've been handed your arse on a platter..

    CAM & OTR CAI Upgrade

    I think AFM delete kits when you do cam can vary from $800 to $1200 depends what the workshop includes in the kits.. Some include lifters as part of the kit.. Others include lifters as part of cam package..

    CAM & OTR CAI Upgrade

    Auto or manual.. If auto VCM 21 seems to be widely regarded as the goto cam for the stock stall.. Might need to throw porting your heads onto the list to get to 330rwkw though. If you go VCM cam, get their intake, DoD delete etc.. I'm driving with a similar cam.. Slightly bigger I think...

    08 Ve sv6 tune ability!!!!!!!

    Considering VE is 6 or more years old.. Two year old info is still quite current.. As above though.. However more mods you do in one hit will mean better gains from the tune.

    Longest Lasting Tyres

    Fullway or something.. Never heard of em. Car had 20's on it at the dealership when I wanted the stock 18's they had to put new tyres on it.. Picked cheapest and nastiest ones but work fine for me.. Do a fair bit of kms each week..

    Longest Lasting Tyres

    Get whatever has the highest treadwear rating.. Got a set of 440's on my SS.. Done 40,000kms and 6 or 7 trips to the drag strip.. Never rotated.. Still look new.

    Yet another red VE SS..

    Well not really a big update but I got it on a dyno for a check up in Rockhampton.. <insert mainline v. dyno dynamics argument here>.. Having not done a power run since the tune got touched up I was interested especially as it was last run in Shoot 8.. And I also took it as a chance to check...

    New hoon laws passed.
