      No don't say that then they'll rush it and do a **** job. Go in and ask how progress is and when they plan to complete it... If the response is crap then tell them they said 2 weeks, so what's the go. :D

      Unlike most places I've been to, this painter is actually worth it. Knows his **** and will never rush a job to get it out.

      Be an **** all you want but Adrian won't change the time.

      The minor imperfections are a minor issue for me but a major issue for Steve. Rather than seeing it as the carbon-fibre project, look at it as the 'testing to see if a satin black would look good on the camry' project.

      What colour are you going?

    3. STYLSH

      STYLSH

      Adrian is just going to make up a nice satin black. The Frozen black code wasnt in his system.

      Even 17' but yeah its nice with the upgraded lights/lenses and no kit, great look from behind

      Mine are 17's and they look a tad small, probably due to the fact they have a dish. My sig pic was photoshopped with a bigger size of the same wheel.

  4. Nearly 1000km - 53L of fuel used. Get your economy on!

      Andrew357

      That low? I'm about 1/3 remaining; but I bought an extra Liqui Moly. Worst case scenario, fill up 10L @ that Mobil and chuck 1/3 of the Moly in.

    3. DJKOR

      DJKOR

      I have 480km of fuel left as shown on the dash and I have another 440km to drive up until I get to Willowbank. I'm trying to hypermile at the moment.

    4. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      You're nuts. I'll remove the spare tomorrow as well.

  10. Tonight has proven that I need an LSD. Seriously spinning the wheels in a big part of 2nd gear down the uber sticky drag strip is a pain.

      I wonder how the TRD would be with an LSD.

    4. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      It was loud man. I was parked in the cooling area and I heard you screaming.

      Daryl: Imagine the TRD with an LSD and an E153...!

  11. Car is all back together. Just need to be test driven and an alignment.

  12. Car now smells funky.... I thought I got most of the coffee out yesterday... Apparently not.

    1. Silver-Aurion

      Silver-Aurion

      try a heavy duty steam cleaning of carpet :)

    2. DJKOR

      DJKOR

      Steam cleaning is only really effective if the contaminants have not gone through the carpet into the felt or whatever may be underneath them.

    3. Silver-Aurion
  13. Well the problem is back...

    1. RedSportivo

      RedSportivo

      have you recently serviced it

    2. RedSportivo

      RedSportivo

      Could be spark plugs, Maf Sensor heaps of reasonss

    3. STYLSH

      STYLSH

      Maf sensor cleaned. It wouldnt be the spark plugs unless we are talking all the plugs stop working at the same time. There is also no CEL either. Going to change the fuel pump and fuel filter next couple of days.

  14. Just put a bid for some goodies for the car, let see if they accept my best offer.

      Lol they didn't like my lowballing them. Well technically I wasn't low balling, they were just expensive. I offered them the same price that was asked from the manufacturers themselves.

    3. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      Bugger them to hell! Just get Trevor @ CES to make a set and I'll get another in HPC coated.

  15. Damn it! My speedo drive gear and bolts aren't coming in for 2-3 weeks............ Now i have to wait another 3 weeks before I can get the toys installed!!!!! So tempted to do tha paint but I know they will scratch it when they do the gearbox!

    1. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      Just wait young Padawan. I can't afford the roof-respray yet.

    2. STYLSH
    3. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      actually; I need to see what Adrian wants to charge. Let me know when you're going to visit.

  16. Valve cover gasket is leaking :(

    1. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      Damn. Lucky I'm still waiitn on stuff to arrive at Adam's from RockAuto. Get your express shipping on and throw it in my box.

    2. STYLSH

      STYLSH

      lol i'm trying to decide if I should get the water pump and timing belt done as well. And these 2 months are going to be hella expensive car fixing expedition.

    3. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      how do you think I feel!?!?!??!?!

      Cheap stuff from RockAuto though!

  17. Waxing pad is not where it should be in Hoppys

    1. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      They got rid of it?

    2. STYLSH

      STYLSH

      yup, not there anymore!

  18. It is amazing how much coffee can be absorbed into automotive carpet .... Car smells like a mocha frappaccino....

    1. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      mmmmm.... in times of serious coffee need; just reconstitute with water!

    2. Kenshin X
  19. Why does USPS have a STUPID 42in length limit on parcels?! That is only 1m!

    1. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      Eyeing off those extractors?

    2. STYLSH

      STYLSH

      I dont know what you are talking about <_< >_>

  20. Wants to know how cars miraculously fix themselves.... Car doesnt seem to have any problems anymore and I didnt do anything....

    1. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      Maybe it just wanted you to want it again. Like it was in the old days; you, STYLSH and the moon.

    2. cruzer

      ^

      hahahahahha

  21. Car's problem seems to be "amount of fuel in the tank" related. Stuffs up when its more than 3/4 full and works perfectly after that point...

    1. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      Hrmmm... that's odd.

    2. RedSportivo

      RedSportivo

      very maybe try changing your fuel filter

  22. Go karts makes my car feel like it has the handling of a boat!

    1. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      Hahahahah, I over-steered terribly when I made the turn out of the gates.

    2. Tash

      Tash

      Hahahahah, me too! I got in and it felt like driving a cloud :P And that turn under the bridge, I went out really wide and was like "Der.. just turn it in" LOL!

  23. Accidentally use degreaser when the engine was still too hot. Some of it dried and now has a white residue looking thing on it. But the bodywork part of the engine bay look brand new.

    1. DJKOR

      DJKOR

      Oooops. Lesson learnt now.

    2. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      That stuff is hard to get off. Even Aerospace303 wouldn't do it.

      Another reason why I touched up the supercharger

  24. Car parts costs too much money!

    1. Andrew357

      Andrew357

      Reckon, have been looking at some twin screw + centrifugal superchargers. Not going to be cheap.

    2. STYLSH

      *waiting for email from MWR*

  25. Didnt think reconditioning a gearbox is so bloody expensive. I might as well get a brand new one at this rate!
