Yeh that was me mate, Ash's old car. Sounded fkn brutal, I think it's in a million pieces inside. None of the gears work properly apart from reverse.

She was going so well that night too, shit happens!!

Thanks for stopping by mate!

Going well is an understatement...I saw you blow away more than a couple of those tough cars

hmm everything dodgy seems to be in East these days.

Yeah I know, only got myself to blame though, shoulda checked it thoroughly, now I'm stuck in this mess what can ya do but try and make the best of it.

still sorting things out borci. let us know how you go

Will do, might get an RACV inspection on a shell (still has engine in it currently), how are they on inspecting chassis? That's all I really wanna know anyway...

forget RACV

hit up stateroads

ask for the inspector to call you prior to the inspection and explain exactly what you are looking for.

they do paint dept checks and everything to let you know the issues.

saved me on 2 cars before the one I bought.

major body on one and engine on 2nd.

3rd (which I had a deposit on already as I was sure was a good car) the inspector told me the facts, (couple very minor cosmetic repairs) fuel pump on the way out, that it.

wish I had one of those on that POS that I call a mustang...sure they would have found the 2-3 inches of bog in certain areas.

Essentially I would only need a body inspection? Which is only $125.

Farking dodgy sellers...

My lesson was less costly (purchased 4 x Nismo 555s for $350, that turned out to be standard WRX injectors), but I'm much more thorough now and check absolutely everything I can before buying anything. If someone tries to rip me off again they're gonna know about it.

Nothin yet :( seller gets back to Melbourne on Friday so I might be able to get 3-4k back out of him, but otherwise I'm f**ked lol. Guess that's what happens when you rush into things.

What happened man?!

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
