Agree with this. However I thought we put a filter on the word rape which replaced the word with "VTEC" which was always funny. So yeah, getting VTEC'd pretty hard.

Thanks for your input Ron, insightful as always.

Stripped her down for the painter to work his magic. Found some rust under the spoiler holes in the bootlid and under the passenger vent near the front windscreen. The bootlid I ain't fussed about as I will be changing it to one with no high stop light as they are horrible looking things haha all the chromework will be going body colour also

I no longer have any problems like this... people just let me in. Funny that.

Basically, they've swapped which end of the pineapple they use.

It's not yours or my choice. It's not supported and won't be in the future. It's now obsolete by default.

Considering how much it costs to be a member here I think Josh and James are doing a damn good job! Perhaps if you don't like it so much he can refund you your membership fee?

All the pinned items in the Maintenance section now take up almost the whole first page (leaves only one actual post visible). Maybe we can condense them down into a sort of FAQ thread?

I think its just unfortunate one company has the monopoly on these, why cant there be 3 or 4 companies to rival each other and make prices fairer. $200-300 would be realistic for a PP, not ~$1000, that is exorbitant

Ah... my favorite topic... NZ traffic laws are unworkable in this, and many other situations... The engineering is crap and the drivers are worse... Give up and take public transport... Oh right.. there is none!!

What do you want to know. I'm kind of Making it up as I go along. It's made out of a real-estate sign that was out side a property well after it sold and the new owner pulled it down and dumped it. It's 945X460mm X650 I'm going cut the holes for the doors and windows, then fit Angle so I can get the shape and also cover he sharp edgesll around the door and windows with car door rubbers to seal the dust in. I'm using a sink as the hopper as I want to be able to change media . Now I will just pull the plug sweep and blow out the cabnet, replace with a new media and blast away. Lots of people rely on pressure for blasting but it's volume of air. I have two compressors, one small one mid. I also have a tank from a large Compressor that I'm going to use as a dump tank to provide the volume and pressure. A vacuum cleaner on the side to extract and a mate showed me a vortex thing that goes in between the vacuum it separates media from the extracted air. Umm gloves are cheap and easy to find, blast guns are easy aswell. I bit of glass with a film so it can be protected. Any thing else you want to know .

Don't get me wrong this is a great change to the site, i only have one request, the color scheme.. don't know if its my eye sight or the monitor but find it very hard to read things on the site with the white background and the grey txt and light grey background and white txt with the boarders of each post not far off white, Would be cool if we could choose a theme attached to each account so when we log in it changes to the preferred theme for each person, not sure if that's possible. Like the new features added

Almost finished the refurb on the motor just a few more seals to get and will be all back together again.

Nevermind, their FB page has been removed. Couldn't handle the pressure of disappointed Euro lovers.

total body shop supplies, Victoria St in Petone. Make sure you give them the year of the vehicle as there is most likely revisions (I know there were three revisions for Calypsotrot....)

Basically I was already frustrated at the costs, and now a new provider has come along bringing hope of a change from the disgusting price-gouging of the past... only to do the same thing. So I am letting them know that I do not appreciate it. Also motorcycle levies have not changed, and the justification for that was the fact the money is used for safety initiatives. Basically if the europlate upgrade was $150 they would have $150 from me. Because it is $450 they will never get a cent from me. I'd probably do it to 2 or 3 of my cars if it was affordable too, but at $450 just to get a plate that fits my car correctly and doesn't require extra holes drilled in my bodywork it's just not a justifiable price. I don't have a brand new expensive car or lots of money, all I want is a plate that fits my car without having to sell my kidney.

I just always go by the idea that if they want to be in front that bad, let them. It's not worth the stress to try and be "in the right" and it's not defensive driving either. Do what is safe, not necessarily what is right.

It's NZ any retard's allowed to drive.

Thats actually one of the upgrades.
