Looking at the wear on that tire, is it worth repairing ? looks to be pretty "screwed" to me

The look on the cops face when he sticks his hand up your guard and runs it along your tire to check the tread is pretty priceless.

When is the dyno day and where is it? I\'m in methven but wouldn\'t mind getting outta here for the day, see some cool cars and meet some members.

Spec Performance, 9am tomorrow. Check the Christchurch sub-forum.

[clintondane]

Eish that is early! Can\'t promise anything although it\'d be good to get there, won\'t put my car on the dyno but still a good time. Beer after? Lol.

Quoted for truth rofl

When I was doing tyres I was still using my Skyline as a daily which meant thrash tyres every week it was bothering heaven. Then back to steel hanging out when I left

Also meant I had free time every day when we didn\'t have customers so I always without fail pulled my rims off, polished the shit out of them (doing it daily means its easy) and blacked the fuck out of the tyres.

Every day cruising along Maunganui rd in the 5pm traffic in this rangi as fuck 2 dr r33 with the tidiest rims and wet as tyres used to get me the most fucked up looks : D

As for the sidewall its more than repairable, some shops just don\'t like doing them that close in case you go back and get antsy about it if it fails (especially when a lot of places do free puncture repairs).

I always used to do them that close but with the warning they may not last long. Doing it for free and warning them usually means they return to buy tyres because your service is good.

V7 STI Engine is finally in, just replacing synchros in the gearbox then have the wiring to do and car will be back on the road (after a year)! Hoping to get in done by Friday!

Just on my way to collect a set of CE28\'s! Can\'t wait to fit them!

[G-unit]

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Coupla swift helies not in a public place just to show the missus mitzis arent the only cars that can throw down round skids.

[Marky]

The future cop in me frowns

The bogan of my past is giving you that *good job* nod

I\'m so torn

For the purposes of this we\'ll assume it on was private property

[Codex]

Well he said not in a public place

[Guest]

Not on the road chap untouchable by officer mark. You going for the force? That would make 2 cs coppers in tauranga.

[Marky]

Yeah, I\'m in the "pool" of approved applicants now so waiting to be called up (like, passed all the testing / ride alongs / fitness blah) . Unfortunately not much call for mid 20\'s white guys who can\'t speak anything but english, so I\'m just getting comfy waiting, ha. Past the "will they hire me" point now at least, now it\'s the "hurry up and wait" stage. One day.

[jazza]

Took upside down sway bar off and fitted correctly, replaced split pins, checked all suspension bolts/nuts in rear, removed turbo and up pipe to fix v clamp, removed intake mani to repaint, swore at various tools that alwaysseemed to be out of reach when you need them most

[WRXER]

Time to thaw out the wrx from being on ice for two years, located a good engine/turbo/fuel/ecu setup from existing member. Now just got to wire over the money, wait for Tony at RDL performance to get back from racing season and get the new setup put in.

All happening whilst Im in Auckland and my car is in chch, when I get the car finished I will have to fly down and do one last meet before shipping the car up to Auckland.

2 years of no psssshh....I need it back lol

[Koom]

I\'ll be pissed if yours is up and running before mine!

[WRXER]

Haha I doubt it, I will always find something I will want to "add" while we are at it....

Already found lots of other cool bits I want..22mm Front Sway Bar, Spoiler and I really am jealous of Clints Widebody Kit (So want one too)

[Kiwi_Fozze]

snorkelectomy on the v7, waiting on a downpipe to put in, trying to get my sticky fingers on a piece of 90mm downpipe...

What\'s dirtyobc? A club, gang...? Forgive my ignorance, I\'m not a Kiwi... ;D

The rims are not as perfect as I was hoping, they have a few minor curb marks, can\'t wait to fit them!
