WANTED TO BUY AT RIGHT PRICE:
*VX SS or VZ Sv6 17" rims at least 4 5th if price is right must be road worthy and in excelent condition..

CURRENT ISSUES:
*My speedo is out of whack sometimes my Speedo Needle doesnt stay on the '0' when starting the car and can be seen on sometimes 5-20kmh while sitting still at a set of lights (only happens every now and then and have too re-start the car too reset it too '0' ) is there a fix too this or is a new dash cluster the best option?

* Found out my front bushes needed replacing gunna cost $320

 

Got plenty of quotes today from across western sydney and this is the best package deal i got...

18" Speedy Wheels Circuit RS Blue with New Tyres.
Lowering FRONT 1 1/2" REAR 2".
Light Service (full car check) but change oil only.

as a package if it gets done at the same time: $2065

Hi Big E,

it will be dropped, Sept 6th when its booked in for..

2" on front and back with King Springs with wheel alignment
18" Speedy Wheels Circuit RS Blue with Achillis 235/40/R18's with balance

also in the same package i'm getting all front/rear bushes replaced (really need the Castor bushes replaced they are bad lol) also getting a minor service just replacing engine oil, oil filter, and just a general check of all other main points on the car.

not bad for about 2 1/2K

 

no idea what a whiteline strut brace is, but the wonders of Google should keep me out of trouble for the next half hour.

At the moment the car controls like a semi-trailer with the castor bushes screwed on the front so its going to feel like a new car in 4 weeks

 

found plenty of info on the product, i will see how the car feels after all the work is done is September then i might follow it up more..

 

CURRENTLY AFTER:
Electric Blue metallic spray paint for Brake calipers if anyone can help steer me in the right direction or has seen this product/knows someone who has used this could they drop me a PM it would be much apreciated!

Nathan.

 

Does anyone know where i could find these? BUT! with a digital clock and temp guage instead of voltage guages etc.

thanks, do you remember/or have any idea if they are battery operated or wired to the car??

 

Thank you,
i am finding it hard to find any in metallic so might have to go for my 2nd option with is yellow, but not sure how that will look with black and electric blue wheels. might have too hit up the photoshop thread and see.

i'm sure dupli-colour Anodized metallic blue will be strong enough for the engine cover anyway, if i put a high temp silver base on then the anodized elect blue followed by high temp clear coat i got a fire extingsher in the boot just in case lol.
