Early jap nuter

I think it was r magic in Japan did a fiberglass box thing for rx7s but they were spendy and only made in mid 90s. Just pull it all out and put a heated front screen in because racecar

Sweet cheers for that 

Hi can you remove head rests from a seat in a 1991 car? I have a customer that wants to remove the headrests so the car has more of a old school look.

here are the seats

Yeah no worry’s heading to Auckland in the weekend so I’ll get some pics

love that, what cool little cars. I wonder if you can use normal March/micra bits to convert to manual

Yeah you can just use k10 parts but you have to mod the clutch pedal as it sits on odd angle. Did the wife’s one 10 years ago

Did you hear from them? Or did it just turn up?

I’ll have a nz new 04 gen 3 diesel high ks for sale next month ( waiting on new car to arrive) needs a knock in rear fixed and srs light comes on. Will need front tires and brakes for wof in oct $4000 ono

I ordered a 20L off them over a week ago as a test run.  no communication and nothing showen up.   was free shipping, unsure how they can do that on dg. 

 

That’s shit, they seemed onto it when I got mine. I’m heading down in a few weeks if you need some brought up I don’t mind dropping off on way back up

I’ve got afew 200 litre drums off nice fuels out in east Auckland. I’m not sure on shipping as I just pick up

Just look how many 2023 teslas there are for sale, it’s not because it’s electric  and hard to use it’s because they want something new and there’s a new trend.

All the premium EV stuff had resale like an S class merc, it's absolutely wild how anyone can comfortably piss away 100k in a couple years just to own a car. 

I know heaps of people that buy new private cars every year and don’t care what they loose, it’s more about having something new

Hey all, does anyone have any tips for prepping and spraying textured interior plastic? I've been looking on YouTube and most of the videos seem to talk about smoothing it out first and are aimed at exterior parts like bumpers and door handles.

This is what I'm working with:

Do you want to keep texture or smooth out?

I’d just tape the edges with the ali tape stuff 

I’ve used it for that but kinda peels off where it gets real hot.best  I’ve used aeroflow ali embossed stuff over the top and made less noise and stoped my wife’s shoes melting to the floor

They will never drop prices for the ruc charges on evs, that’s just the base starting rate for everything even when the petrol cars get it. Our roads are to fucked and the price to get any fixed is fucked so we just got to get use to it. I don’t like it or agree with it but that’s how nz seems to work these days. 

Just helped a mate pic up his parts for a ev conversion on his mini. Bolt in plug and play kit from England. Wasn’t cheap but looks like a nice set up. Wasn’t allowed to take pics as he’s wanting to do wank wank thing on twitface/ticcock

Just because somethings old doesn’t make it a collectible, years ago classic cars were 30 years plus and vintage was 60 years plus. Does anyone know if they are going to put road user on classic cars? 

Does anyone know the pass rates of wofs in general? Just say as a wof guy doing 10 wofs a day on any age car

Red tape. Repair cert then re vin

I didn’t take a pic of the broken down one but it was good to see the 20 Barry’s get together and talk about what was wrong with it while the wife’s walk into the pub

Just followed the blue smoke and found these in Mangōnui 

The rear springs were half the weight or the standard springs, some of the shocks had leaked in box and the welds looked like shit. One of the boss’s got a set for his kids civic and broke the springs within a week

When I was dealing with ordering from China for work they would paint things any colour you wanted and print anything you wanted on them even on small orders. Got afew full lift kits for utes for free to try in a container once and I just put them in the scrap pile
