  1. Maybe whip out the injectors and get them cleaned while you're on holiday? @RUNAMUCK got some done recently so might know a good place. Might not be injectors, but if they've sat for ages a clean won't hurt.
  2. Which factory car are we talking about that's exhaust is beyond the noise limits?
  3. Probably legit, and resto supplies is legit too. I'd struggle to not head to Ali and spend $5 though
  4. Ball joint grease, does it matter what you use? Internet says complex lithium, local mechanic uses general grease. I have general grease, but want to be sure they'll last. What say you OS? Much easier for me to just use what I have as I only have one grease gun. The grease I have is probably budget stuff too. So i'd potentially buy new grease anyway, but keen to know which type.
  5. Well the visor line will be from inside I imagine as that is the only point from which vision would be obstructed. I've just checked the VIRM to get some context as I couldn't work it out from the quote. Rules for overlays are different for front windscreen and all other windows. The way I read it, you can have overlay to the line of OE visors. You can't have any print or otherwise below 100mm. Which is because you can't have anything solid further from the edge of the windscreens than 100mm. Visors would need to be huge to allow overlay to be further than 100mm down the screen. Just how I read it. With a spray can, you're not going to have any print or anything else solid, so you work to the OE visor line.
  6. Not sure exactly what your question is. Anything further than 100mm in from the edge of the screen is a fail. You can have whatever you want (opacity wise) so long as its not further than 100mm from edge or lower than the OE visors I guess? People have windscreen banners all the time, both solid and just words. A spray application should be fine too, so long as it meets all the requirements.
  7. Hmmm yeah pretty sure i'll have nowhere to actually put a locating ring. Will see what certifier says in a few weeks.
  8. Is there any possible reason other than scene? Have seen blue done on a show car before, which from memory was all road legal. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2617510/1994-toyota-corolla/photo-gallery/ Quick question time. Are there requirements to have locating rings for mags for cert? I may end up with nothing left to fit a locating ring to when fitting mag wheels. Wheels in question have tapered wheel nuts. Have browsed the wheels / tyres PDF, but still not sure. Figured it might be an easy one you'd come across quite often. Aiming to not use any spacers.
  9. 99.99% chance they are the same as the $85 ones, same factory even. Add more steel to the dolly if you're concerned with their strength. Probably can't even get the castors for $85.
  10. No that's ok, I believe you lol.
  11. Also the plain ones you linked on trademe are sub $100 all over trademe... Perhaps Joker's account on here has been hacked. Trying to make people buy over priced stuff. Nothing else is making sense right now. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/tools-repair-kits/other/listing-2357607260.htm https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/tools-repair-kits/other/listing-2356422283.htm https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/tools-repair-kits/other/listing-2358949274.htm All sub $100, they are all the same stuff so anything more than the above pricing is clearly a rip off.
  12. When you can get them at repco on special for ok coin, not sure why you'd fart around for hours trying to find the best scam site to buy things from.
  13. The stuff they sell is likely galvanised stuff? Don't bother with that. You want proper stuff they use for panels, can weld it without messing around and you won't die from the galv fumes. As for thickness, depends what you are patching, most of mine is sub 1mm, but some is slightly thicker.
  14. Is that replaced one bent? Could be optical illusion at play again.
  15. Going by this you can remove the wash system on pre 92's, and it does not require LVV certification. Should be gravy. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/vision/windscreen-wipe-wash
  16. Just take the pics with a potato in low res lol

    Don't see why cans can't come up mint. Spray, wet sand / buff? edit, I didn't read that text till after posting lol, seems legit to me.
  18. Yeah pretty sure it's done on the Saturday. I'm spent by Friday / never have a car on the road this time of year so don't park up.
  19. I'd want belts in the rear A) for back seat passenger safety and just as importantly B.) for the front seat passenger safety. Guess that would mean cert time, but worthwhile IMO. /devils advocate
  20. I've always welded nuts on, perfect hole in the middle to fill with weld. Could potentially cut some flats on that one though and put the next sized down socket on it. If needed before you get the welder.
  21. What could possibly go wrong? Tidy as fuck Honda bra.
  22. The animated ones are the best lol. I hear you though, some can be pretty bright.
  23. Yeah seems a bit silly. Totally different designs for totally different jobs. Legality shouldn't come into it, just don't, lol.
  24. How do you clean the cylinder for safe cutting? Pig looks sweet.
