Haha no worries ;P
When i had the new muffler fitted, he only welded enough bar onto it to just fit through the rubber mounts. Its been becoming more and more often that i have to reach under and slip the bars through the mount
Irritating when i paid good money for it to be fitted :@

Are you sure you couldn't find a BIGGER switch ?

Brisbane_boy · 16-07-2009, 01:32 PM

that should look good SF esspecially at night. like a devil look.

02-KQ-LASR · 16-07-2009, 02:45 PM

decided today im gonna finish the car off on the outside while i can, as the house wont start till it stops raining. So im gonna talk around too see about a good re spray and getting a new front bar. Ill get a move on with doing the boot install, and buy some coilovers and hopefully it should be complete enough to enter into a few shows.

Brisbane_boy · 16-07-2009, 03:56 PM

hey KQ.
Im getting my car resprayed this weekend. Iv got a painted who said he can do a good price and a good job.
So i can let you know how the job looks. me and my family have had him fix mums car and mine when there are dings and scratches and he does a good job.
Ill post pics when its done.

briony22 · 16-07-2009, 05:12 PM

Hey, I'm new to like all this car business lol but i have a mazda astina 323 (1996 model) and i recently just got new mags. the rims are 18 inch which are bigger then the stock wheels i had, therefor it has risen my car higher because the wheels are now bigger. (low profile wheels)
before i had the rims my car was pretty low just because thats how it has been made. so i was wondering how i could get it lowered back to its orginal height and how much it would cost in price. i don't want to pay too much though.
thank you.

yeup! at least i lost out on $3.40

derb · 18-07-2009, 08:17 PM

put the 14" 'skid rims' on for the dirt track tomorrow. no need to chop up the semis. the tyres on them are close to new and still have zero traction on full boost, i'd hate to have to use these every day instead of the tread wear 140 ones i normally use.

i still have to mount the extinguisher somewhere tomorrow morning though.
