Stenzel Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) Interesting, Did not expect this, hopefully you can make it less dodgy Edited December 22, 2012 by Stenzel Quote
nerfbat Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Posted December 22, 2012 Trev has been a huge help so far, saved me from getting a match last night and torching the thing in the paddock and PM replied Dave will txt you soon too mate Quote
nerfbat Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Posted December 22, 2012 anyhow, today, plans are: 1. raise the front off the lowest, hardest settings on the coilovers so it can at least steer(the wheels scrub on the guards bad, and are chunking the edges of the tyres out even at small turns. 2. rewire the fuel pump, thermo fan, stereo and any other ones i see that need immediate attention 3.try and find an O2 sensor for the thing, no idea if it fell out on the drive home, or it never had one. 4. try and get the TPS wired up coffee, then I'm onto it sorry for the rant thanks for your time Quote
7shades Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Wow. I need a stiff drink after reading through this. Quote
nerfbat Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) spoke directly to Kyle on Facebook after finding him there it appears it wasnt him, and simply someone he sold it to, or that they then passed it on to.. apologized to him and on his thread. i suppose what we can take from this is, to check it out fully before doing the deal.!

Trev Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Noooooooo, I just realised you swapped the forester for it :( Quote
nerfbat Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Posted December 23, 2012 :-( cos ifelt i wasnt a true R.C member without a Rolla. wanted one for the camp and AJD next month... oh well, lol Quote
ae824ate Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 Might pop around soon and have a gander, I'm heading into town shortly. Quote
towe001 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 You might be able to use the o2 sensor from the hatchback. Thinking about it, it might be a good idea to pull the motor out so that you'll be able to have a good look around it and the engine bay. cos ifelt i wasnt a true R.C member without a Rolla. Ha, if i can get the 4wd i want, if i can get it past ambers head that its looks doesn't really matter, i'll be the bane of RC.... Quote
beachlander Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 Wow i thought my wagon was dodgy, good luck with getting it to an acceptable standard. Quote
nerfbat Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Might pop around soon and have a gander, I'm heading into town shortly. sure thing mate jacked the front end up to an acceptable height. doesnt scrub now. the front looks like it was nicely done, AE86 BC coilovers, and vented and slotted AE86 discs. replaced the clutch master cylinder with an AE71 one from Repco ($120) got a clutch now, that doesnt appear to leak..! wired up the thermo fan to a switch in the console. re wiring the stereo now then doing the fuel pump wire, as it runs through the cabin and was buried under some rags(an attempt to hide it, methinks) found a 'spare' O2 sensor, so hopefully sorting that out too took pics as i went along. will up them later Edited December 23, 2012 by nerfbat Quote
