Cos originally when i saw this car it had 18" chromies and i told him to change it normal 16" for me when i bought it. Guess he didn't do a very good job at it.  

feck i also had a bad dream last night. Dreamt the guy wouldn't do it under warrantee and wouldn't tow my car. Woke up feeling shit. Just called my manager and told him i won't be coming in today.  

if he wants to be an ass and not fix it...you have full right to sue him....in fact...he'll be stoopid if he doesnt.

he will loose a lot more if you sue him - negligence on his part, its obviously his fault for not checking the wheels after he changed them

and then you can sue him for emotional damage - i think dreaming about it would proove that

and lost money from not working

and then you could probably get him for wrecklely endangering life/lives

....as bad as it sounds now, id say you have no need to stress, just a pitty about the cruize

hrmz i dunno

shouldn't my mechanic guy pay for the towing?

i just want to make it easy

it should hold with 4 studs right?

haha or maybe someone can weld on another screw

well im gonna try

i need to find a good route slow route from reservoir to springvale.

[sniffy]

it shouldnt be more than $50? and yes, the guy you bought it from should pay for it...actually he should do it!

[chopobo]

yeah but i don't want to be harsh cos he is like a family friend

i gave him my trust

ill be happy if he just fixes everything and pay for towing and change some things like the ride height, bov etc

up to you chop but I wouldn't risk it for the price of a tow maybe 100 bucks or a bit cheaper you could get stuck somewhere or somethign worse might happen or worse have an accident.. give jack a call and ask him how much tell him you are from skyliens forum he will help out a fellow owner I got stuck after he left with the skyline yesterday flat battery eh came back helped me get it started and then followed me to the petrol station to make sure was okay,. He / Noontas who is the guy he is driving for do heaps of improts and always look after the cars. He has helped me out of the shit many a time..

that suxs dude.

Sounds like the guys who sold u the car put some bodgy nuts on when they changed your rims, coz for the nuts to just come undone like that is farkin weird. U sure u had 5 nuts on that wheel in the first place? Dont drive it back u will *** up more stuff.

[sniffy]

fair enough...but i guess you will find out if he is a friend or not.

he owes you! nothing that happened is your fault!

if he doesnt offer to fix everything, just give him a hint that he could be loosing a lot of money if this went to court! coz he will

[(B1) MR_fanny]

i feel for ya chops........at least nobody got hurt. maybe its a good idea to get the original 17" back on with the proper nuts??

anyhoo's......im just going for the meet up on sat cause i got a bday to go to later so u could bum a ride off me to the stockyards and then jump in someone elses car for the drive in. not the same as drivin ur own liner but at least u get to meet everyone:D

dont worry...................be happy.......dooooooo.....do.. do.. do do......do de do de do de dooooo!!

[chopobo]

well the his mechanic rang me and he reckons someone tried to loosen the nuts and said to bring it down.

thats ****in bullshit, i didn't touch the wheels at all,

well **** he sounds unreluctant to fix it on warrantee, he said he personally did it himself and tightened them

and he told me to tow it

thats bullshit im not paying for towing all the way from reservoir. So i told him to speak to the boss (Van) about it and then ring me later.

this is gh3y

[Guest INASNT]

for your sake pay for the tow now then ask them to reimburse u for it!

[ice180]

where is it now out in the street?? wouldn't be too keen on leaving it out there for long...

[doxximus]

maybe they were threaded?

bad news man hope it all gets better soon

[Milk]

hey ice its in a pretty safe place atm

um, chop...it dont look good:(

i just got back from milk's place....the word dodgy comes to mind with that car in a BIG way...seriously, id be asking for a refund(if thats posible?) also, something doesnt look and sound right with the back left wheel?

tightening the nuts, it felt like the thread was wrong? the nuts are smaller than the wheel brace. just wondering if there is a universal thread size used on all cars or if they're different? or wheather the threads on the bolts just got fcuked up when the wheel was loose?

[Milk]

woops...milk's thing is still on....its sniffy

[sniffy]

ahhh...thats better

[chopobo]

they are smaller?

did you go check it out today?

well i'm not paying for towing cos if i do hes not gonna reimburse me

i have to some how drive it slowly back

[sniffy]

yea...and your frount bumper has been damaged and fixed before aswell

so you talked to the guys today...thought they were closed up?

[chopobo]

yeah talked to one of them

but didn't get much out of him, i think he expected me to get the car to them

sniffy do you think i can drive it?

did you take it for a lil drive?

[sniffy]

yea it seems drivable (kinda) but its risky/unstable...i dont know how far you want to drive it

have you made any inquires about price for towing? it wouldnt hurt to know instead of just guessing. as far as i can see...you should have nothing to do with it getting fixed up! it was there fault, wheather that can be prooved tho?

it makes me sooo angry to hear they are trying to shrug you off!

i would be glad to help if you intend to move it tho...not that i can do much:(

[chopobo]

ok called jack the tower

he quoted $120

which is ok

[thanks ice180]

my mum is getting a hissy fit and doesn't want me to pay for the towing. she wants me to take the guy up there to look at it himself. *sigh* now shes all angry at me and taking it out on me. farking i don't need this.
