Hmm there ok

I kinda know the owner kevin lee, been there a few times for specialised things

i dont know about buying a car there tho

they had some descent priced series 2 r33s there when i last went

i probably wouldnt buy anything other than that tho

definately dont buy ne 180 or silvia there

my mate bought a very tidy 180 sx there but that was before it changed hands.There used to be a guy called chai that worked there and he was a cool dude but now not sure.I called them up to see if they had any 2nd hand r33 stoko rims for sale and i got told that they do and wont sell them in pairs but instead a whole set.I told her that a sale was a sale and she got the shits .So i dont know i dont think a particular yard has nothing but all shit i think you will recognise a good car if u see one but a general statement about all imports never judge a car by its km"s

from what i heard they changed the endless brakes to some stockos before he picked up his car.

And get a RACQ check before you get your car. Autoshop dont allow it for the obvisious reason of selling ****ed cars.

He knew they were going to do that they told him.

kev did mention about a few car yards (not mentioning which particular ones.) dont like getting their cars inspected by RACQ. He doesn't really mind it cos he knows he's selling legit cars, albeit a tad more expensive. Anyways thanks for the insight pplz. The time to buy grows closer :(. yayayayayayayayyayayaya :)

"Charge them like a wounded bull" is another.

A particular yard will not always have all "good" cars, or all "crap" cars. Every car is different, you can find absolute gems at dodgy crappy looking yards, and peices of poop at high end well presented yards. Mechanic inspection + a car feeling "right" on the test drive + warranty is the best you can do.

I bought the 34 and I also purchased a Toyota Surf off Kevin and he was always professional and the whole experience was good. I still get everything checked out before I buy though.

He still had some dogs there that I wouldn't even look at.

You'd have to be crazy to buy without checking the car out throughly first .

It pays to shop around.

CYA34 >> I just spoke to Kevin and I might be buying a car from him. From the way he sounded on the phone ... she sounded quite legitimate. Can you tell me what your experience with him was like with buying the R34? (pm me if you dont want to say publically)

cheers mate :mad:

*edit* sorry for bringing up an old thread :rofl:

Sold any EA falcoons for $8k at late? :mad:

I got my car (well actually my girlfriend originally did)

Its still one of the best I have seen mechanically and body and interior wise, it almost like new...but then again she did look around for 8 months nearly 2 years ago before imports really took off...

There are only a couple of places i would not go to, one is along the going past the Gabba and the other is in bowen hills, you know the places I am not here to name names...

actually no I dont *LOL* (I live in Sydney) :wassup:

pm me the names if you like. but I was more concerned about Autoforce, only because I might be buying a car from them soon, so I wanted to clarify their level of ... dodgy-ness :D

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
