Am using their RTAB and FLCA poly bushes on the M3 and am happy. Prices were very reasonable when I got mine a few years back. have gone for lemforder complete arms this time around as the ball joints were getting a bit worn as well, have been thinking about monoball replacements for next time but im not sure yet. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similar to what happened to mine. Though I mentioned race car. Didn't help me after that. Was many years ago though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted May 31, 2019 16 hour flight delayed 1 hour while they off load some prick with no visa. Causes us to miss not one but two flights from Auckland to Wellington. Then our 3rd flight is over an hour late leaving. Weather's sh*t. Welcome home I guess haha. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprisingly the Weather in Wellington was great. But Wellington always tries to BS me into living there. May still happen. My 11am flight yesterday didn't take off until 12:18. There didn't seem to be any urgency or issues. I just think that it was not actually scheduled to leave until 12ish. But they told us 11 to fill it up.

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted July 1, 2019 Trademe. What a steaming turd it's become. It was bad when I left NZ a few years back. And now that I am back it is so much worse. It is just littered with overseas sellers peddling their utter trash products. We have no way of rating the products. Just the seller. Of which nobody bothers to do. If you are going to allow all this sh*t on the site they need to change to a Amazon style rating system. We need product reviews and ratings. 5000+ 5 star seller ratings doesn't help me see if the product I am buying from them is junk. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted July 6, 2019 People who claim to have 'good' cars but who evidently cannot be bothered to do the most basic of research, like actually looking at the advert. Guy selling Style 23s. One of the pics shows '7 1/2J x 17' stamped on the rim - first question asked is "Size and width?" I stopped reading (I don't want a set of 23s) but I suspect the next question would have been "Offset?" assuming the time-wasting question-setter actually knows about things like that. Of course, the answer is et41. All genuine Style 23s are et41... As the simplest bit of investigation would reveal. Selling stuff these days is more like a war of attrition than a chance to recoup some funds. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matth5 471 Report post Posted July 6, 2019 Some people are dumb as sh*t. I have my house advertised for rent. All the basic stuff is listed. Some person phones and proceeds to ask how many bedrooms there are (on the ad), how much the total upfront bond is (1 week rent in advance + 3 weeks bond, they couldn't do the maths on this) and the start date (on the ad). This is why I hate having my number on ads, easier to ignore emails from idiots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
