What a terrible view /jealous

You did good, good luck in the auction. Onwards and upwards. Next place need any work or you good to go?

Probably better of discussing garage stuff in the house DIY thread in offtopic. Will get more eyes over it. A few will have done similar projects. Have a read of this https://www.duratuf.co.nz/infohub/the-30sqm-rule/?fbclid=IwAR3dQsnhQIc6hs6Q_xE6HGt9bYUil_EQxSaaBuxkQlZgDBNyb49fUrt3Wkc I think it covers your queries, distance to boundary likely to ruin your day.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Not the ideal result, but at least that mystery is solved!

How long did you leave the product on wet? If it's rust, in my experience you should be able to get rid of all of that. I then prepsol the whole lot from memory to have it clean as. Then epoxied. Speeno will know for sure though.

As opposed to the trustworthy hands of the government who ignore the public? LVVTA seem to put all of the cert stuff out for consultation so that the public can have their input into the revisions of rules. Government is pretty useless at most of the stuff they have full control over so I don't see the problem. Housing and rental markets have gone down the toilets. Imagine if the government had the same control over the car related stuff. You'd be banned from any repairs and forced to buy a Nissan leaf if they had their way. Change my mind.

Anyone has to be better than the government deciding such things. At least the LVVTA has a wealth of knowledge in the industry. Rather than an MP who got the management job because they were next in line. IMO.

What sort of things do you think you have been unfairly failed on?

For the face you could have someone 3D print it exactly how you want it to look.

Would be ken if we didn't have cases down here. But given some people aren't vaxxed, i'm going to sit this one out. Someone have a snag for me, always a solid turnout at Xmas. /don't hate the player, hate the game.

How much space we talking. What about a long bolt, with a nut, and a section of pipe between nut and plug. Wind nut off the bolt, to push pipe on to plug and bobs your uncles dog. Just thought of that, so there could well be downsides I haven't had time to consider.

I would wonder what something strong enough to remove seam sealer might do when it gets into the seam. Small wire wheel an option?

Knife worked for me. Lots of knife.

Depends if you are flash and want mix or can live with CO2. Owner cylinders for CO2 seem plentiful and relatively cheap.

Hopefully a nice easy one. Current top hats have long bolts. If I want to space the strut down, is it acceptable to just have a ring of 10mm aluminum machined with the top hat bolts passing through? Size would match the size of camber plate that currently contacts car body, with the center hole matching the factory hole. Seems legit to me, but I think my certifier will cry if he sees me again before I want to book it in. (lots of complications). Down to a few things before cert and think the car is too low to pass, this is just a relatively easy way around it it needed. TIA

Owner cylinders can still work out ok depending on gas usage / type. I get mine tested every 5 years for around $100 with a fill of CO2. At my current usage rate that will last till next test. Might have to read back a few pages, but I think the Bunnings deal is pretty sweet. BOC took the piss on pricing for years so i'd personally never use them. Their pricing is why I purchased a cylinder to start with, no regerts.

Totally man, wee man is a bit small to appreciate such things at moment though. Will try for future a burger meat to talk shit though. Ignoring the fact I haven't fixed the OS whip... or got the other whip ready for cert still, shits depressing lol.

Both will be good dudes. I only have first hand experience with Warrick though, and it was top of the notch. Bort put me on to him, no regerts. You North Island dwebs should shhh, half the CHCH crew will know of Warricks work. What do you need doing?

Mine are like the second set, my certifier seemed happy enough. Worth checking with yours. My steering arm only has the locating rings around the bolts (IIRC), so that spacer copied that design. Test the height with washers, too thick and you may find the arm hitting the brake rotors. I found that anyway. I do have much larger rotors than factory though.

Won't make this one, but i'll tag this guy in case he hasn't seen it @yetchh

Decent muffler plus resonator, headers were probably fine factory so are fine now. It's usually turd mods to exhaust that case the problem.

Another thing worth noting, is that if you replace the current brake pedal with another, it will need a cert. Changing the pedal box from auto to manual parts triggers this requirement (brake pedal specifically). This is technically of course, lots of auto to manual swaps running around which need cert but will likely not be picked up. Just something worth knowing before carrying on. Easy answer is to just live the easy life with the auto, they aren't that bad.

I know with Toyota there are multiple options usually and some are better suited than others, situation / usage dependant. More info will lead to the best answers. Unless there is literally only one manual gearbag that will work in a sigma. I'd be surprised though. Could be weak gearbags worth avoiding, shit ratios, fitment issues and that sort of thing.

Perhaps post what the specs are now and what you are trying to achieve.
