  1. Just thought I\'d fix it up to show how the world of design by accounting works Good fix
  2. Sweet I has started a revolution again ;D
  3. I have always put my auto\'s in neutral at the lights, simply due to the fact that it is much easier and relaxed and don\'t have to press so hard and for the fuel saving factor (mind you I was doing 1200Km per week at the time) Its amazing how much more relaxed it is when your car is not straining against the brakes...
  4. Hussey would be the go As said we use them all the time at work...
  5. Hussey Panel & Paint. We use them via work (Tonys Tyre Service) I would recommend highly
  6. in no way am I having a go at you. LOLS @ reference of treadwear rating... Its an american thing, so here how it works as it is meaningless to compare 1 tyre from 1 brand vs another brand, its not even useful for comparing tyres within the same brand... A tyre with a treadwear rating of 400 in 1 brand is likely to last 4 times longer than a tyre from that same brand rated at 100... Oh and hankook/Kumho is better in grip to the Achilles ATR sport/sport 2 as they are all designed for Asian roads that are smoother, etc. but will offer less grip than the Bridgestone RE050A\'s The RE050 is a ultra high performance tyre, like any tyre it is a compromise to certain things. A ultra high performance tyre that gives excellent grip and handling is by nature going to be noisier. Also a tyre that gives very little noise is going to offer less grip etc and so on and so on, all tyres a compromise between noise, grip/handling and longevity, none of them go hand in hand with the other now if it had been compared it to say bridgestone Ecopia or Firestone TZ700 vs the Kumho you may be surprised on what a quite tyre sounds like Also Nitto NT5000\'s and their ilk are designed for Asian markets where the tar seal is smoother than our volcanic stone chip seal... So inshort: (1)A tyre that is going to last you a very long time (i.e. high Km\'s) is going to offer garbage handling/grip, it may or may not be noisy. (2)A tyre with great grip/handling is going to offer you less milage and may be noisier than another from above. (3)A quite tyre will offer you better ride but poorer handling/grip than say (2), but better than say (1)... Anyway got to go bed, have children (ooops I mean employee\'s) to manage in the morning
  7. Checking fuses and relays under the dash on drivers side.
  8. exaccary... Get it redone if its an issue, otherwise its "meh"
  9. I believe in a laboratory laser jammers work, in real life less so...
  10. Checker plate and some heavy duty gas struts to raie and lower that sucker into place

  14. You probably can, however we have to get him to court 1st... So this time of year like much else it becomes a cash thing... ggggrrrrrrrr
  15. Court staff attempted to serve the legal summons on him, he \'disappeared\' and cant be found.
  16. Mrs got ripped off by a tablet pc importer (Ethan ***) Commerce comm said there is a case, however since the little twirp sold the business we can only go after him, business was a sole trader... We sent to last known address a petrol station on Fitzherbert st, Featherston. I suspect it is mum and dads or he works there. It was returned with a smart arse comment on the envelope. The bailiff was also unsuccessful... Is anyone able to help, I want to chase his little arse into the ground, aka bancrupt the little c**t. Tony
  17. It smells fishy It looks fishy it must be fishy... I bet they are going to find all sorts of issues when doing these inspections then do the "hardsell" on you to recoup their losses... And I bet the prices for the filter, etc will be inflated or they will use cheaper/economy substitutes...
  18. A bit of bling you can talk/brag about...
  19. Yep, not very useful nowadays really... : I have 6 boys and a tyre store now so all good, at least something is uesfull when they try and con you with Dr\'s Certs... Should have waited for the next basic and enlisted as a Chippy like I had planned (oh well still got to see awesome sights...)
