nerfbat Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 i am not one to whinge about deals, i know i cop it sweet, the onus is on me to make sure the car up to the standard of what i am expecting but holy fck... this is by far, the worst, dodgiest car i have ever seen..! seriously, everything i see, has been done wrong, or by half.. the more i look into it, the more i want to die.. today, i start raising the rear, flipping the leaves back, etc. the fcking thing was that low, the tailshaft had nearly worn through the floor, the diff sat hard on the floor, no rear suspension at all the leaves were flipped, the top one with the mounts they had cut through the mount support so it could be done this way, thus weakening the whole spring setup, pic below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 while under there, i noticed the rear brake splitter had one line welded up thus making only the drivers side hooked up passenger line wasnt there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) fuel pump 'wiring' as i was dropping the car back down, this put pressure on the way he had the fuel lines hooked up, pulling the line down and separated it, spraying fuel all over my head, down my arm into my arm pit.... also the exhaust was made to go under the diff, as it was so low, so when i raised it up, it sat on the exhaust, so i had to cut it off before the diff.. will get an over the axle bend made up i spose... height raised for the RWC after getting the rear sorted, i started on removing the clutch master cylinder to replace it took me 4 hrs.. trev had to come finish it off due to a brain fart of mine.. was numb at this stage and wanted to punch a hole through it i really want to Hug Luke or Kyle in the neck, with a fist tho I'm sure they will pass the buck, saying the other was responsible Edited December 22, 2012 by nerfbat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) oh, the bloody shudder was the tailshaft bolts loose and nearly coming off.... lucky to be alive, after driving it home that night in the wet, like that the exhaust leak, it's the O2 sensor has fallen out. so close to going for a drive and patting these guys on the back, with a chair.. diliberately hid the dodgy sht and could have caused death or serious injury....

LukeAE71 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 This is why there are mechanics. If you don't know what you are doing with cars just don't do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rian Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 This is exactly why I gave up looking for a 4AGE KE70 to buy and just did my own 4A conversion. That sucks man, I hope you don't find any more dodgey mods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Holy crap, I mean I've had issues with mine but this takes the cake. Makes me realise what a bargain I got. Some people shouldn't be allowed near cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
