just read all that, tofu u had some bad luck there!

know how u feel though, when i got my car had to take it back to dealership like i dotn how many times to fix sh*t but they never did what he was meant to fix.

so ive had to fix heaps of it, kinda looks a bit dodgy coz had to get new rims coz the ones that came on the car werent good, so now my cars like hell high of the ground!

some of the damage was my fault when i had a lil accident

but i feel ya tofu!

[Tofu]

[Pal]

think happy thoughts, u'll be right.

[Tofu]

engine work? yeah a little bit.

I did end up having enough time to get to the pits so it will br tomorrow norning. Did get a dyno on it and it hit 275 bhp @ 7500 . Im a little dissapointed with the result as there is quit a lull from what i can see there is a remapping issue *sigh* another thing on the to do list. lols

[masTers]

Did u get any pics with the blue carpet or didnt you end up doing it?

Steve

Well its been a while since I have updated the progress on the struggle with the car.

About two weeks ago, after nearly having a break down with the shit that had been completed, need replacing and what need doing I approached an associate at JShop and asked for a huge favor. An expensive favor (sanity or money ???).But at the rate that i was attempting to get it licensed I was happy to spend the money getting a professional to finish the job.

So many issues have been brought to attention since its purchase and I am currently seeking some legal advice as there were a few serious concerns and neglect in the sale that were raised:

1. Car was sold with no front intrusion bar.

2. The only seatbelts that were fitted to the car were incorrect, the rear seat belts were used for the front and not attached correctly.

3. The diff was a stock diff, poorly weilded into a lock diff. This would of caused the issue with the wheel falling off.

Not really wanting to go into details about it but I am looking for the cost of repairs and replacement for the rims.

Well JShop has put nothing but there best effort into the car and after a week of hope they took the car to the pits early this afternoon. Well I get a call from them at around 4pm "the car broke down at the pits." Not on the way, at the pits. Come on guys, who can say this has happened to them. It seems to be electrical so hopefully Monday/Tuesday is the way to go.

Rim shopping monday, nice set of 17/18s with 3" of dish. *bling*

god damn andrew..

what caused it to break down?

not having the best of luck with this car are you!

hopefully it passes over next week, i want to see this thing out on the road, with number plates, and 4 wheels..

[Tofu]

From what i have been told the relays...

[Tofu]

Nope, it was the kill switch going faulty and now that have been removed.

Well it failed the pits. The two big things:

1. Bent Chasis Rods.

2. All the boot racks need replacing

Another week at most but most likely another 2K in repairs will go towards the car.

Man what a long haul this has been.

Cant wait to see it on the road though!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tofu]

*sigh* yeah, seems like it hey.

Well before work I just dropped the car off to the Panel Beaters to have the rails replaced and it seems like its not just the rails that are bent.

This is just unbelievable lol

Man.. you've had some bad luck.. Out of interest - was this a private sale? or through a RAWS workshop?
