put up a pic wen ur done nicky t I got one from u pull it and chucked it on the gem. looked sick bro, hahahaha. but only had one so

turning off light square into a street which connect to goodwood road in Colonel light gardens. its a slut

yeh was pissing down. I know first a truck driver hits me and doesnt reply our calls or messages an now a fukn huge gutter gets in my way! Maybe i should just send the beast to the track. haha. nah been quoted like $300 to fix with a wheel allignment so might take the easy option. we'll see what my mechanic says

Trying to drift. haha. mate if i was trying to drift i wouldn hav crashed. but seriously was pure understeer near fazz's place. and i mean pure understeer. any attempt at drifting woulda sent the back into a pole/tree. Thanks for your two cents though :jamie:

haha i wish it was that easy

haha i think ill pass on the fwd :) . But i might need your help if it comes down to it. haha

ah k. sweet.sorry I'm not good with the names of things. haha. I'm guessing i want it to be the lower control arm and not the engine crossmember mounting point as the lower control arm seems to be an easy fix.

Yeh do i have to commit to a place after i get them to have a look? cause if i don't ill just get em to tell me what it is. i know that the upward little connector rod (no idea what its called, is right in the middle of the picture at the bottom of the spring) is bent forwards which doesnt make sense as the wheel sits further back in the guard. If its got anything to do with the bushes i might ask some details from ya felix. Thanks for all your help

:)

ok so i took both wheels off, had 4 mates have a look and still we have no idea what it could be. I am gonna take it to a mechanic tomorro just to get a quote and find out the problem then decide on the future. i have taken some photos of the damaged and undamaged side. If anyone can spot the difference please by all means let me know. This is the damaged side This is the undamaged side I know its not easy but anythin u can see. Cheeeeers

haha its the best :) Is there any other sh*# which needs replacing if its just the wishbone or would it all fit back into place?

Bout 20-25 k's if that Just been told this corner has claimed a few others :)

Pretty much on the way home from work in my gemmy i turned right on an "infamous" slippery corner of which i had no idea about, got massive understeer, locked up and the front left wheel hit a curb which for some reason was like 15 centimetres high. anyway it put mad scratches on my rim and now my car pulls severely to the left and when turning left the wheel rubbs on the back of the guard. the impact seems to have pushed the wheel back abit into the guard and further towards the back of the car. has anyone else had an accident in the same situation and what damage did the car sustain. Could it just be that the lower control arm has been bent? please reply with some good news as i fair don't want to have to spend too much on fixing this thing. Cheers Beau :)

I had a 4a-c and it was fairly lame. id say just save up for when u can afford to buy/run a decent car which is actually fun to drive and worth the effort. Only good point bout a ae71 is there isn't too bigger loss when you crash it. Why do all the eastern states have all these p plate rules? Here in SA a learner can drive a GTR no worries. why ban extractors on a 1.6 litre. haha. stupid

Yeh i looked at them closer. There is no air being pushed into the horns. It just clicks over. Is it possible to get them "re-gassed" or whatever. Maybe an electrical fault. Who would know how to fix this shit. Auto electrician??

Hey guys, i recently bought a gemmie wagon and just discovered that it has air horns in it. But ... the airhorns don't work. They are connected to a button next to the handbrake "stealth" style and when the button is pressed nothing happens except a clicking noise from the compressor thingy thats comes with the horns. Does anyone know what this problem could be. Just run out of air?? or totally f@$ked? it isn't a big deal i just rekon itd be hilarious havin an airhorn. or anywhere that fixes these kind of things Cheers Beau :)

i say sell it and get a gemmie wagon/panelvan. Reliable, stylish and fuel efficient all in one. Haha. u can also fit your bikes in the back

In SA you can go over 10% of the speed limit with radar guns, eg: 55 in a 50 or 66 in a 60. REPORT THE BASTARD!!!!

Yeh the speed limit in Adelaide ar 25kmh school zones. It's bullshit that you should speed up when being tailgated, i do the opposite just to piss off the bastard tailgating me. I think i remember my driving instructor told me to tap the brakes when someone is tailgating you as it gets them to slow down behind you. We have cops treating us like shit we don't need the driving instructors joining in on the act. Definately report him an if they don't listen or nothing happens theres nothing a good egging won't fix. Good luck with your next test, you shoulda gone logbook :D Cheers

Called the RAA, it's bout 170 for mechanical check an 195 for full mechanical/background/body check. And that's for members aswell. Expensive shit

yeh thats a good idea. I just wanted to know tonight and they arnt open till tomorrow :2thumbs: I'm impatient. $110 sounds decent ill give em a call tomorrow. Whose this MTAA mob. Cheers

Hey fellas i just recently have come across a nice Gemmie Wagon with no rust (very rare) an was just wondering if anyone here has had an RAA check done on an older car before and know how much it costs? The only reason i'm gonna do a checkup is cause it has a Rodeo 2 litre in it, an the dude rekons the brakes need lookin at so i don wanna buy it an have it f@$k up on me. I know it aint a Toyota but it's a fukn sick car. lol. Any help would be apppreciated. Cheers

Wats the retail on one of those? More than you can afford pal. Toyota :dance: vroom vroom

Seems that someone got to it before i did. :P

i Had someone go past me with rims like these the other day. Ricer in a honda prelude with neons nn body kit etc. Looked fair gay would never pay that much for something soo bad. gimme some dishes instead no worries Like ya signature Woodstock. Nice touch ;)
