NFI lol, that being the rubber piece between the top of the strut where it mounts and the strut itself? (Not awfully car savvy tbh)

Codesex, it's your bumpstop, when it was rebuilt (if it was), they just forgot to stick one back in, being a bolt on jobby and all.

I'm missing some in mine aswell, makes for some sweet knocks.

Holy remote-diagnosis Batman!!

[Codex]

lol any suggestions matt?

[mattnz]

No idea, but knocks that seem to come from somewhere could turn out to be a lot of things. I would be very hesitant to give definite answers over the internet, between the proximate and distal inaccuracies

Looking for good places that do AVS alarm installations in chch if anyone has had a good experience with any? Currently have a Uniden and can't stand it -_-

[Tandoori]

Pauls Audio do them - I've heard good things about those guys, but iirc they're also quite spenny.

[Codex]

Cheers hori, will check them out. Says $650 on their site, most say around 600-700.

Sold my car last week for 4.8k looking at buying this on sunday hopefully http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=403049828

[Dr Woomanchu]

Cleaned mine yesterday. Surprised to find it's blue.

[Mayhem_Lee]

Purchased a 97 impreza hatch, New wiper blades all round had to replace a blown headlight, gave it a wash and then it rained so back to dirty again.

Just swaped the JVC KD406 stereo out for a panasonic one with usb input. Cant say i own a ipod or bluetooth device for music so jvc is no use to me

[Codex]

Awesome xD can't find any good replacement blades :/ I've used repco and supercheap ones and both have shat out within a month so any recommendations for non terrible blades? (I even bought the 'premium' blades from both)

Going to lift car up this weekend hopefully and check all the bolts on the noisy strut to see if there's something loose clunking it around.

I paid $10 or $8 for 3 wiper blades from owens suspension and brakes dont know what brand or type they use but i've never had any issues with them. The other amount either $10 or $8 was for a new bulb lol so this comment was all of no help haha
