never show your age Gomez :D

I love your car, nojooc, don't you?

Gomez · 10-17-2004, 07:29 AM

I think it is absolutely splendid. I do believe the color this young gentleman has selected is particularly suited to this sporting style of saloon.

I got them for mates rates (which I can't reveal unfortunately), but some places sell them for about $2300-$2500 for four.
Quite reasonable for a 19" if you ask me.

Indeedy!

I ordered the springs through a supplier at work and paid West End Mazda $200 to fit them in for me.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll hook you up with a set.

Now, now Gomez, let's not start another colour war.
We all know why Mazda named the blue the appropriate name it received.

paul, that looks pretty good, i like that better in shadow chrome than chrome! great choice! what size tyres are you running? when i had the 19", i had 245/34 front and 275/30 rear.

thats what EVOLV have, but he's got it in 20"

now before someone jump in and start yelling that what a waste of a car/rice/why bother etc......... meh, not your car, mind your own business if you dont like it :D if you want a mazda performance car, go buy a series 8 RX7 :D

RXE16T · 10-17-2004, 08:03 AM

I considered getting the 20's but my insurance company wasn't too keen on that so I went with the 19s instead.

Tyres front and back on mine are 235/35, once again, dictated by my insurance company.

I'm already paying close to $3700 a year so I didn't want them to penalise me anymore.

Would have really loved 20's and some real fat rubber though.

when does your insurance expire?

it may save you some $$$ by giving shannons insurance a call.
im paying 1/2 of your premium and i can have UNLIMITED mods to the 8, yes, even a full turbo conversion...... my policy told me that (in writting) im in the UNLIMITED MOD category :D

I can cancel my policy anytime.
Might give Shannons a call tomorrow and find out.

Unfortunately, my area falls under Bankstown, so all cars I've had are bloody expensive to insure.

my isnt much better? im right next door to you...... im in that "korean" hood bro.... :D

Choppy · 10-17-2004, 07:01 PM

nojooc,

Call justcars.

Shannons would not insure me im 24 living in Arncliffe same rating as bankstown.

Justcars i called up and offered me 2450 for my car agreed value nearly as NRMA who i am with now. Plus unlimited mods as long as you tell them.

Regards
phillip

RXE16T · 10-18-2004, 04:16 AM

Well Shannons are off the list, they weren't interested in insuring me.

Wasn't sure whether it was because the car was a daily driver, not enough mods, my age, my area or a combination of all the above.

I'll give Justcars a miss thank you...... a few of my mates have run into strife trying to make claims with these blokes, very reluctant to pay unfortunately.

BTW, I can't believe how many people have viewed my thread in the Multimedia section...... 750 views and counting.

Guess everyone likes to see a bit of eye candy every once in a while.

shannons was abit handful to deal with at the begining, but after a while, its all good. they did ask alot of questions and they really do appreciate ppl taking their cars to the tracks, modding it and participate in any sort of car shows/events.
i had to show them my past participation of car shows/events, and prove im in a car club and also a committee member of the club (club audi nsw), list the mods i have at the time and what are my future plans etc. they guy i was dealing was very understanding and helpful, and i also got in touch with the nsw general manager whom offered great insurance deals to our audi club members.......
at the end, shannons gave me a deal too good to refuse, so i took it. they were $1000 cheaper than my last insurance with agreed value of 60K & unlimited mods. its due soon, so im looking forward to see the reduction for next year.
