[funkytown]

tying a bonnet to a roof is just ASKING for trouble. they are MASSIVE sails

[Guest]

Good idea. Have transported a queen mattress on top of a corolla held on by hand. Must be legit didnt get pulled up but then didnt see any cops either.

Have you started drinking already bro hahaha

Re no bonnet - give it a whirl but you can get ticketed for it so dont come crying to us haha

Yes absolutely get ticketed for it - you wouldnt get a wof - you can then get a greeny - over to you

If your current one is getting chucked drive with it on, swap them onsite... fold the old one in half and take it home again hahaha

I should ask you them same q lol. But yea even if youre running down the shop to get a new exhaust so you have the old one off you technically can get a greeny which can open a whoopass can of gremlin monsters.

And yes I have started

I need a set of swaybar bushes to go on my Cusco bars (front 22mm size=4]rear 23mm[/size] ??? same as Marky\'s ???) How much should I expect paying for Whiteline/Nolathane/Noltec and who\'s the best price/quality wise to deal with? Student budget these days, you know the story... :-\

Where did you get a 23mm rear? their catalog only shows 18mm for legacy BE/BH

99% sure they\'re cusco ones, might be 22 not 23 (hard to measure accurately without being under the car or having a wheel off.

Marky got the same set of swaybars on his

 

Suspension / Wheels:

Bilsteins & Tein springs

Cusco front and rear swaybars (23mm and 22mm approx) - nolathane bushes & alloy links

ADVAN RGII alloys - 17x7.5

Bear in mind I\'m not so good with stuff like reading or numbers

Will go outside and vernierify it in a minute

Ahem, if you are operating the vehicle for the sole purpose of taking the vehicle to a place of repair, in order to bring the vehicle into compliance, and it is safe to do so, then you are OK.

EDIT: Driving without a bonnet, maybe not "safe to do so"

[Guest hate-evoz]

ask a mate with a van. be safer than risking a fine or rain in your engine

[QRAF]

was i dumb to turn down a EVO5 with no wof and rego that hasn\'t had a wof for 30,000kms and needs some work as its only boosting at 6psi?

i have know idea about evo\'s i was told there very expensive to repair as there limited addition compared to the wrx but then again i only have a wrx on the rego card.

[Guest hate-evoz]

haha,limited edition? nah an evo5s an evo5..

Id say if the regos on hold, and the motors healthy and gearbox and clutch a sweet then yeah but all depends you wouldn\'t want to swap your nice running car for someone elses problems!

[QRAF]

yeah mines just running ok just need a knock sensor to show up. the evo need a gear replaced or at least looked at a wheel alignment and exhaust leak from what i got told.

been impounded 4times this year

[Guest hate-evoz]

sounds like a lemon tbh. link to said evo ? pics?

[QRAF]

I only have a picture of it when it a year ago.

I really wanted it but just not the money to fix it.

[Marky]

Yes, it was dumb

Haha

Even if you had to replace engine and box outright - call it $4k tops - it\'d still "probably" be worth more than your wagon (evo 5\'s are normally 12-15k mark, ish)

But does not sound like a good buy if you needed something long term / reliable

Soobanoodle / B42000 - rear swaybar is actually 18mm, I just can\'t read or use calipers properly

i believe i have the same one as well in the back but wanna find something like 22mm to replace it with!

;D ok then I don\'t have the same set up as Marky, mine is defo 22-23 : Way thicker than a stock one (btw how thick is stock?)

[sobanoodle]

Will triple check :-[ : ;D on Monday, don\'t have a vernier sitting around

What he said. Looks bloody tidy a year ago.

yeah a lot rougher now after being in impound so many times as they have no license

the parts on trademe aren\'t very cheap compared to other evo\'s like the 1 2 3 4

[QRAF]

gay balls

none of my friends think it was a good deal.

Alright, as for picking up the bonnet in my gc8. I am gonna try fit it in the back of my car. I have taken out my center console, rear seats and front passenger seat just to pathetically try and fit the bonnet in the car. will report how it goes.

[Guest]

I would say its more getting it through the back hatch. Theres a fair bit of room inside a GF8 but no way to get the big object inside.
