I thought being perpetually bogged or breaking shit approximately 200m further down the track from the stock ones. And then driven past by people in lighter simpler vehicles ...

It’s easy to do it when you only have one franchisee in each town.

In Canberra for example if it’s a single franchisee (Multisite or not) then they’d just go “see ya”. The problem is they can all play games with Finance, Servicing...

Resto. Depending on the finish you want it’s just a strip, a quick machine or polish of the spokes, and the repainting.

Functionally they’re fine now, but it’s like anything, once there’s a path under the paint/clear that genie...

If you snow-foam you can do it with a drier mix (thicker foam) and just hose off without being a dumb idiot when it comes to putting water pressure into electrical connectors. Also stick some rags in the valley above the coils (assuming two cam) before...

Mr Sven. That’s the clear coat on those wheels over the machines finish failing. They are - for the purposes of a detailing discussion - done

If you start using either acid, non-acid, caustic, jizz or spit on them it will work into...

Going to be much easier getting it into position to yank the motor. I’m pretty ChrisS has got the 336 badges printed for the hatch....

Yep. I was trying to buy 215/35R18’s a year ago and supply was terrible. Could only get pairs and only 1-2 brands. Between COVId logistics and most of the 3rd world locations that tyres are produced in being hit with lockdowns or a massive staff...

Tack some welds on on it and the cunts not coming out again

Jim, let’s face it, “who won the war”. Superior engineering all the way.

GWM will be like every other franchise importer and demand the dealers buy the special tools. In Canberra the typical dealer only has one of of all the cool things despite running 2 or 3 workshops around town. Janrule had that shit optimised so cars...

Throw a BT46 into the mix and I’d get behind it ...

[Aaron]

I wouldn’t, well I would if I sent something to Europe from China now. I was pointing out that Gerrys rule that screws us with overseas suppliers charging us GST for the ATO has now spread to those same suppliers having to charge EU customers their...

[Aaron]

Got an email from one retail supplier in China advising they’re going to be collecting the VAT/GST at point of sale for everything going into the EU.

Gerry cunt goes global.

Just dove in big time and ordered a Creality LD-002H printer and UW-01Wash & Cure unit. Under $450 for the pair delivered. nopics is keen to do resin printing and there’s heaps of stuff I want to do that works better with resin anyway. I was...

Clippy, the friend no one wanted.

The scuttle is attached with two clips. Two very unique clips, I’d not had a matched set and for some reason aftermarket clips weren’t “right” and don’t hold much.

Documenting a bit of the musings about the immobiliser system and how it works after playing with a new toy today.

I got some dubious hardware and software from China that lets me pull the EEPROM as a direct “dump” from both the immobiliser...

[Aaron]

Yeah key switch. As an interim just disconnect the starter wire from the IGN switch and put a button on temporarily....

[Aaron]

Did we all enjoy hearing about how great British fans are?

I’m not sure Crofty understands there are other nations forced to listen to his drivel about how British fans are the best in the world?

[Aaron]

Mental health is all in the mind isn’t it?

As you can see I have a nice fresh length of Orange-Blue automotive cable here. I wanted to see how a potential new supplier went with me ordering an absurdly small amount before I get...
