  1. I went with solid one piece ali that are 10mm lower than stock. Drops the engine 10mm. cant wait to try them out.
  2. some parts of NZ still can't get cell phone coverage AND there's more than one supplier. Its years away and a better alterative will come up.
  3. this guy is quite controversial with his views but I think he's spot on the money this time.
  4. this part will be handy as sea levels rise due to global warming
  5. I've watched the youtube videos using the hair clip and given it a go to no success. I don't want to keep it ( the key ) just want the locking mechanism gone. any ideas

    .small update not much going on at the moment had to throw down 90m2 of concrete as the grass and mud got to much. moulded the fibre glass rear guards together and fitted doors and front guards. front and rear bumpers are a bit tricky as they require a little lateral thinking on how to attach with 1/3 turn clips.
  14. one of those bidders missed out on his dream car. A smart seller would contact him and make quick sale.
  15. bugger! was looking forward to seeing this on the dyno. And results .

    Airbag recalls

    your missing the point, Its a new safety device that's evolving over time . things change . How does an airbag fitted in 1984 for example meet the requirements of today

    Airbag recalls

    I forgot about when seat belts first came out and were retro fitted to older cars, it was the end of the world for some people, now its standard practices and they are checked in a WOF too.

    Airbag recalls

    A solution ,Yes . These are a new device that have no checks and to rely on owners will prove costly. Older cars like chev, caddys ,model T fords never came with airbags , so I would expect that they will fad with the passing of time.

    Airbag recalls

    That's the point Jon. A responsible owner would change them. But as a passenger in a vehicle, be it a friend , ubar, taxi, workmate who knows , that's why I asked the question about how long they last and would they deploy properly. No Jon nothing you said, But.. Brakes, wheels ,suspension are checked at the wof station and cars over 10 yrs every 6 months ( not airbags) that's ok, I used the aircraft one as the pinnacle for balance.
