Unfortunately even though the oem rubber is the quietest it has that flaw of turning to dust over time! I've been using the Whiteline brand nolathane in my F6X and they are excellent. Softer than the boat rollers that nolathane and pedders sell and are farking BLACK!!! I'm sticking with the Whiteline from now on but the TT is opposite to the Falcons as it chews up every bush in the front end and my rear is like brand new apart from the bump stops which are foam anyway...

Hopefully it's now sealed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapping those average scrivets out for some nutserts does the job pretty well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All stock bar the k&n panel filter Silver Donating Members 8,061 Member For: 12y 11m 26d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 10/06/15 10:33 AM Share Posted 10/06/15 10:33 AM (edited) The new/old car had a birthday today. Copped pretty much an entire days worth of polishing and then treated to some Modesta Glass paint protection. Considering its age and a few little imperfections aside I reckon it came out pretty bloody well! Excuse the average rims, they were free with the car...and I still need to wind the coilovers down a bit.

Nah, didn't do it myself. Dale from OCDetailing did this. Very few people around I'd trust my car with more than Dale. We were both pretty impressed with how well this car came up in the end. Unfortunately there's a few tiny chips on the boot lid from the previous owner, can't really justify the $300-400 to get it resprayed...especially with resprays being more noticeable on black cars. Either way, car looks much better. Tyre black flicks off everywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
