Yes thats right, out of 21 starions at the cruise i had to be the only one to get too much sideways :( and then overcorrect

, and then tap the breaks

and then do a 180 into a road island and dint my rims and bend a stud behind the rotor :x .....
anyway not too much damage, thanks to Redzone for the lending of 2 spares so i could limp home at 90kms/hr and thanks to everyone else :D
It was a great turnout and ill upload pics of the rim and cruise once i get some sleep.

If you need a hand swapping the hub just give me a ring. I might be able to wrangle one up if you don't have one handy.

don't worry, that'll buff right out!

On a serious note, is the dish repairable when bent or just have to replace it?

it should be able to be 'folded' back out and then machined on a lathe. :)

Silly boy!

Don't you know how long it took me to save up for those in 1993!! LOL

They've see worse though, I once had them this colour. LOL LOL

Take them to Depulu in Ashmore, or Wheel Revolution in Slacks Creek, it won't be too bad.

Yes , that was scary seeing you spin over that median strip , I thought you f*cked your car for sure. I was lining up right behind you to blow some cobwebs out of my staz , but when I saw you out of shape , my heart came up through my mouth , and landed right on my brake pedal. (damn , wish I got it on video , I gotta admit , it was the highlight of my night seeing a starion going sideways !). Glad you and your car is relatively ok.

:beer :beer

haha yeah...
but how is your video camera? got it working yet?

I fixed it. Luckily , I'm an electronics engineer by trade and I used to fix digital cameras years ago. Lesson learnt by me on the night : Dont put your camera next to an esky full of cold ice slurry in the back seat if your'e going to throw your car around a bit. :beer :beer :beer
