alarum

@jbjb,

Were you saying if I'm only replacing the front struts that I don't need to replace the springs?

I want to replace it all so there's no one weak part, and have to replace it just as quick!

Thanks for your input, though.

Got some prices, it's going to be $330 for the KYB shocks, and $155 for the springs.

I should go to Super Cheap and get the springs for $140, but I'll see if Wholesale Suspension can match the price =)

Spotted WO-00-HU on Kildare Road yesterday, around 5:30 :)

Thanks for you reply, jbjb!

Yeah, I don't think I'll go lowering for now... but I'm convinced something is erky with my suspension mounts because I'm getting crunchy noises, so I'll get that checked out when we've got the wheels off and we can have a really good look at the previous suspension!

I had a TR Magna and I replaced the suspension in that with Munroe Sensatracs / King Springs and that was pretty good; I'm looking forward to using something else!

I've organised to buy KYB's for the front and matched up with King Springs... I'm excited! No longer will my car feel like a rubber ball! (I can think of no better analogy)

And down the track I'm going to fix the rear up =)

Question is, the guy from Wholesale Suspension has offered to lower the springs for me... should I do it? And if so, how much? Keeping in mind it's only for the front

Cheers!

Love my sunroof ;)

Pure awesome

Hmmm, good idea. I need to replace both the calipers and the discs on my Vienta, but gotta fix up the suspension first!

The kid who is getting the Vienta Grande will be lucky (: !!!

oh yeah, don't worry that they've just travelled *** knows how many (miles) k's with a screwed motor, but they'll push it the last 300m?

I was expecting a piston through the block like that Nissan :D

That was the most horrible hunk of garbage I've ever laid my eyes on.

The person who re-mixed that ad should be tied to a speeding car and driven through a knife factory.

My $0.02.

(P.S. That was somewhat enjoyable and thought I'd just come in here acting as a critic. No offence, Saif... :)

That's **** brilliant! :D

Hmm, not sure on that one. My CD Player doesn't function when the ignition is not on at least "Acc"...

This is a spoiler! ZOMG!!! EVIL BABIES!!!

Not to hijack, but:

Mine has also gone but I think it's more of a fuse problem than the actual bulb...

Anyone have a fuse box diagram?

Poor Jasons car XENTU8 got rear ended this morning.... he called me drivin home so hopefully isnt too bad....

Bec

Well it was drivable so I suppose that's kind of good... but damn :(

Man that's **** scary

Why would you do that? hahaha

Nothing, overly - but if I was in Jason's shoes today I wouldn't be happy with one particular van driver that went into the back of the Falcon (couldn't see if it was an XR6 or not) who in turn went into the back of Jason's tivo.

Fantastic.

Thanks guys, I'll be contacting Fortron today and explaining my case.

I saw Jason (XENTU8) on the M2 this morning around 6:20am ... hope you're ok buddy -- hope your girl is still alright :(

[Edit: freakin' Van drivers, ay?]

Chatswood Toyota - corner of Fullers and Pac Hwy?

Awesome man, hope to see you around some time!

Who's to say we can't still rock up there and hang around for a bit (:

Just a question; why are you abandoning the 3.5L grandeur that is the Verada to go for a 3.0L Camry?

I'd much prefer a 'rada over a Camry anyday... but I'm just glad I've got the Vienta :D

(It must be a thing to have the luxury models V-named)

At first glance, it doesn't look like the Aurion at all. Front reminds me of a Ford, while the back looks like a bloody Honda!

Weird angle, I know, but that's just what it looks like to me.

Haha...

Thanks guys, I'm in NSW and RWC's don't exist (:

I've joined with AAMI now. Joined up on the weekend.

$151 a month for comprehensive on market value of $11,800! My car has only depreciated a whole $100 since buying it...

wow, how do you exactly calculate how much db you have? i wanna check as soon as i get my new deck. the guy i bought my sub from, he said he won a spl competition last year, a beemer, he had a jlw6v2 running. :/ and he pulled off 140db-ish.

I've heard you need to buy a few tools (like a dB signal reader, don't know the official name :P) and setup an isolated testing environment. The interesting thing with noise levels is there can be incredible differences between 1 and 2 dB...

So would that indicate the spring is just worn and should be replaced? In my accident the smash repairers replaced the left strut, but didn't replace the spring... (A new spring would look all shiny and new, it doesn't look all shiny and new)

From inspection I can't see any part of the spring that has been terribly worn, but I'll take a better look at them soon...

Thanks pujo!
