dave you have a point more shit boxes off the street the better, hence the reason my car is still in the front yard :P

 

I just like having my stomach contents bounced back up through my digestive tract and tryin to knock out all my fillings hahahahahahahahahaha

I know why they're defected, all reasons have been discussed. My point; why does a defect mean you have to sell them. KE's are sooo easy to work on and fix. I had to do it twice with my 25 (once after letting the rego expire). It feels good to drive a well sorted car.

I really just wanted to start the discussion and perhaps lift the standard of corolla modders.

Why work on it and fix it when you can buy another for less than $1000 and put all your shitful parts on it and repeat the process :lolcry:

 

They will run out of them one day

who knows mate.

 

people are lazy? or like the guy above sais, they are treated as "one use only" items. not given alot of respect unfortunately.

 

Same reason why you see so many half finished projects sitting around or for sale.

 

like you, i had to get my car into road worthy state when i first got it (admitedly it was standard, but it was also pretty stuffed to begin with). luckily being a ke70 you can almost replace the entire driveline and all the components in about 1 week. and you end up with a brand new car.

 

it does feel good to get a legitimate RWC for an old car that most people scrap.

If you had witnesses You can take it to court a fight it. As long as your not a car dealer the 5-0 can't defect a car that isn't running in a driveway. Cops defected my VS ute in my drive way, I was changing the clutch on it. took it to court and I won. How ever the 5-0 picked on the ute after that so i sold it.
