Ive had work done there before (under warranty) and found them to be good.
Would be good to see a break down of costs.
Im guessing steering rack bushes could be quite a pain to do.
@B4 I was 250T didn't you do yours the other day?
I like Crowesport, friendly, prompt, very easy to deal with, honest and open.

The club should start a database of all professionally performed work done around the county to get an idea of where
the mechanics are slow and fast.

Don't remember when I last went to pick a part but overtime I've been they've never once had a tt BE/BH
Hornby has at least one TT currently, intake and exhaust headers have been removed so the turbos are just sitting there

Installed a reversing camera and a review mirror with a screen in it. Time consuming, but struck no problems

I managed to get someone who did the fitting/balancing/alignment for 140 cash for the social fund...considering the t1r's only cost 160 per corner it was still heaps cheaper than them supplying and fitting.
I almost reckon its an awareness thing. After the CHCH eqs everyones wheels were going out of alignment. The idea has sorta filtered out across the country. People are more aware of their alignment in other parts of the country and the wheel shops have capitalized on a very quick and easy income source.

They are not as secure as you might think
Didn't stop me of easily selling a few on TM
No way do i trust the carrier to 'lock' the bike. If you wanted to take my bike(s) off my roof, you'd be walking off with the bike chained (cabled) to each other and to the roof bars

Fair enough, what's you bike carrier by the way?
Thule 591 not cheap, but goddammit its worth it (nearly $1k on my roof). So bloody easy to carry bikes, totally worth every cent

Get some Thule wing bars and use them with your existing foot pack - will be cheaper than getting whispbars + fitting kit.
Downside: you won't be able to lock them.
and you could get them all keyed the same, i have three different keys, one for each piece, EDIT: if you could lock them -facepalm-

Finally got my new RE-003's back on the car, now with added blueness, mainly cos the new wheel didn't match the old wheels, and we can't have that!
We are (were) almost twins.... same wheels, I removed my plasti dip on Saturday, almost same roof rack (i've two thule carriers and whispbar bars), i've clear side repeaters, you've smoked... never realized how similar

Took the plastidip off my wheels... sorta sad... Now the wheels show all the curbing ect ect... what the rough cost for wheels to be repaired (CHCH)?
-
hmm.. that's what the online quote said... got a ryco one instead. Does the job!

Mine wasn't that bad but it did have a pube or two.... makes you wonder...

Yea, might give Armstrongs a call on monday and see what they can do
-
cheers... $45 + $60 shipping from partsouq... no thanks haha
-
Does anyone have the part number for a genuine or a link to a suitable alternative for the cabin air filter that lives behind the glove box? Google Fu or partsouq browsing has been unsuccessful so far.

Must be the season to do painting. Repainted my grill last week, happy with the results for $12 spray paint

Took my grill off to sand off the flaky chrome parts and repaint it. Ended up having to take the ENTIRE bonnet off to get the grill off as on of the bolts wouldn't come out. Ended up being a oscillating multitool, grinder, drill job... fml...
Got the grill off, gave it a real good sand, put the first lot of primer on, will put another cost on this arvo, then hopefully sand and paint tomorrow.
I was also very surprised at just how light my bonnet was. I knew it was light, but not that light -

I have one waiting to go into my RA, but really CBF...
The one I put into the GX I did at the same time as the gearbox replacement, so wasn't too bad. But it does make the RA feel like a 30 year old car compared to it...
My (limited) advice would be to make sure you have a straight pair of circlip pliers (seperator) like these:
Rather than an angled pair like these (like I did):

I will only do it again if I can get a hoist... honestly, the bloody circlip at the bottom gave me so much trouble

Fitted a short shift.... never doing that again....
