its back from insurance just like new

[travino85]

hey all.

couple of questions that need your attention from your experience an expertese.

i took a bit of a hiatus from this site for a while as a guard rail jumped out of me. really i felt bad driving it banged up.

all good tho, thankgod for insurance. i really get my moneys worth from aami. the smash repairer even cut the semi circle where the rear lip was melting.

as we all know here how the toyota service department is... i made a move, my 2003 sportivo is goin into southport lexus tomorrow for its 100k service. i told them how unhappy i was with my toyota serviceing and they have offerd me a free car to drive around in while its getting done, which i happily accepted. i reckon these guys are legends already!!

on saturday its booked in at midas to get an extention of the exsaust and a muffler tip so its not spraying and melting the plastic.

is there any way to effect the audible volume of the system on the cheap? i know the tip isnt going to effect anthing regarding volume. its got the standard 2.25 system how can i make that hum or roar?

was goin to do a sway bar but have opted for the CAI. what is the quickest and most value for money place i can get one then get it installed. i want one bad and have the money. i realise the trd 1 is $500. i really want 1 that i can have and installed for bout $400.

any information that can help with my situation and my couple of questions with be greatly appreciated.

im interested in calling into 1 of the future meets around the goldcoast also.

cheers TRAV

here ya go :)

ok now the rear looks sweet, thought i would stuff up the front a bit :( parked a Q store at the back an boom, didnt realise the cement was that high. damnit first scratch too. bout 20 cm worth. its on the part u can see on my display picture.

went to auto bahn and *** some wet an dry an glacier white spray paint.

its Holts Dupli-color auto spray, the dude matched it an all.

i havent had any experience with doin this. would have just gone an done it but coz its raining now, i thought i would come on an get some advice. would really hate to fcku it up.

with the sand paper do i do horizontal motion or virticle or circular. you dont actually sand paper the paint do ya?

as u can see some tips would appreciated. probably just worried more than anything.

[travino85]

so no one has fixed there own scratches?? lol

[kelvin33]

do not attempt to use circular motion, use either vertical or horizontal for straightness!
