Yeah the mobile business should still be going, he's sold it in the last year or so though. I imagine it's still 0800 Car Tune.
I will still have his number somewhere.


I still got his number actually. just couldn't reach him through either txt or wechat which he used to use. might try calling him next time. You still got your BZG?

Nah no more BZG, I got sick of the harsh CHCH roads with the lowered suspension, and expensive insurance costs. A RAV4 popped up with a dead motor so I got that all fixed up (Graham) and daily that now. Boring daily FTW.

hahahahaha! when I took over this Altezza the suspension was seriously harsh... I knew my mate had some aftermarket springs put in but I didn't know any details.

Something around the suspension area started making minor noises one day so I gave Graham a call.
He came and and had a feel of the suspension and said "hey this don't feel right man... it doesn't feel like your suspension is moving much at all...".
We got down and realised the strut was just sitting on the bumpstop with the springs fully compressed from the weight of the car LMAO.

So basically I had tyres+bumpstop as my suspension for the few months, oh and my ass + spine :lol:
