Ke70 4Age Wagz

[nerfbat]

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

[nerfbat]

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..

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

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....

This is why there are mechanics. If you don't know what you are doing with cars just don't do it.

Looks like you got your hands on a typical drift shitter.

[nerfbat]

yeah....

and i take responsibility for not going through it fully.

in my defence, it was raining, and dark, and he was asking $6,000 so i assume it had some 'Quality'

ah well, enough whingeing...bourbon O'clock, then sleep, before getting into it again tomorrow....

[Trev]

Fark. sorry to hear that you paid so much.

Don't know the forester was a 2.5Lt !

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.

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.

[flyinwall]

as far as I'm concerned this guy is just complete SCUM
