Thats where your problem is....

Does polycarbonate really neeed to be certed on a hard top? They use plasticised PVC for the rear window on a soft top which is much more softer and not structural.
And the fact polycarb is stronger than glass.

The point of insurance is to leave you in the same place you would be before the accident. So you write off your car, you get another car that is of similar quality, ks, power, etc. Thats the problem, it would never leave you in the same place as before the accident. What if you have spent money mo...

Got the cert plate on the powerwingmobile today finally! https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s403x403/942149_10151932972128574_554551130_n.jpg Sports steering wheel? Have you modified the steering column or something. I have had a "sports steering wheel" for many years and have n...

Back on track...I machined up a wooden pattern. Got it cast in LM6 (From memory) aluminium and machined it up.
I was some time ago but will check if I still have the pattern lying around...

Calm down...no one is accusing you of anything.

I know that car, the guy organises a few car meets out west. Hes had those wheels for ages. https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/58835_447896135290173_1118454006_n.jpg That looks about right. I only saw it from the rear and side. The driver could have been the guy with the hat on...

Out of interest I saw a Red NA MX5 tonight out in Glendene with the same wheels as what hlau028 had. Not too sure if it was anyone's here? The last 2 digits of the number plate were 77. The car was extremely low and had major camber on the rear. I know it is a longshot but I'm keeping my eyes and ea...

Hehehehe....I haven't seen this much activity in one post for a long time. Its great!
(But not so great on why this post was raised in the first place... )

I'm looking on Miranda Road, next to a vacant section from Satellite View. That vacant section when viewed on Google Street View provides the orange-roofed house next door, and you can match up neighbouring houses in the opposite direction of the photos, too. I'm not too sure. In street view there ...

....so why don't you jump on Google Maps, identify the address where the car was found (because I have) and then do some investigating. Knowing as much as you do, you're obviously aware anyone can lay a private prosecution at court and you seem to know how to catch these guys.. I did the same and f...

...also bear in mind, up here in whangarei it is not uncommon for me to have police following me around in my car waiting for me to do something silly (I don't break the road rules) which in my mind is a waste of their time when they should be out trying to solve crime. I know this is slightly off-...

As for the tag, what can i do with this information? should i pass this on to the Police? or is there some way to find these people? I have a Blue 1989 very similar to yours. This made me truly sick and I would be devastated if it were my car...so I really feel your loss. I spoke to a cop friend of...

Maybe we should all say what we do and our job position so we can rate your business as well. Its easy to be critical from the anonymity of a computer..... I'll start.

Are these done in the dry or do they wet the pad?

Also check the small radiator under the dash. These can block up and reduce the flow as well... Yeah that's a good thing to check, just undo the pipes in the engine bay at the firewall & give it a flush through. -hope it's not that though, coz you have to pull the whole dash out to remove the heate...

I have been following this for the last couple of years. In a nutshell: Grant Aitken and co managed to get the rights to build a circuit on the land some years ago. The circuit was going to be built with investor money, but would have been slow. Tony Quin (Owner of VIP Petfoods in Australia) was inv...

Check tire pressures as well...

For the rears you have to back the pistons off using an Allen key. Access to the adjusting screw is through the hole after you take out the 8mm (12mm head) bolt on the back of the caliper. After you have put the new pads in, screw the pistons in using the Allen key until the rotors just start to bi...
