Evan

i looked into this the other day. according to the AMS institute website its 900 for ya class 2 1kish for class 4 and 1kish for class 5 (all +GST) so I guess the 3k is a rough price and still validish

About 32-34 UK MPG whatever that is in metric.

8 litres per 100kms I do believe, or there abouts

what happened? Im kinda keen to mash a cosworth running gear into a sierra wagon... hence my asking

on a side note.... whats happening to the cossie now that its crashed?

yea looks ewww.

Did you put those stickers on the doors?

whered you get that from? you going to blast the shell with walnuts or something? I'd be tempted to.

save ya pennies and put a 572 in it

Im kinda suprised they started this so close to xmas tbh. how long does it take concrete to crack anyway?

yea you should stress cut the concrete. cracks are mega gay

I know they can tow heaps was just curious to know what theyre rated to by toyota... cbf calling them/4wd ones were never sold nz new so theyd probably have no idea. might stalk some of them around town and see whats written on the towbars. thanks anyway.

na i dont have one just needa know what theyre rated to as i have an idea developing... was hoping that someone had one and could walk outside and tell me.

does anyone know what 4wd hiaces are rated to tow? cant find nothing in a google search.

Is the garage now bigger than your house?

A month ago a couple rang me from the south island saying they were keen to buy my van. I had it listed for 7500 and they offered 7300 if I could get it a WOF, an inspection, and deliver it to a shipping company. I agreed but told them I was very busy and not sure when I could get the inspection and stuff done. In the mean time I got pulled onto a job working 72hour weeks so didn't have time to get a WOF let alone an inspection. When I finished work a week ago I got a call from a guy locally willing to pay me full price for it and pick it up as is. So he has given me a deposit and the sale is going through this week. The issue is now the nice couple from the South Island have told me they are seeking legal action and saying we had a legally binding contract. Obviously I have mucked them around a bit but they never gave me a deposit so do they have a leg to stand on?

the bold bit is not the same as

They offered 7300 if it could get a wof - answer, no it can't. You cannot be held to that offer of 7300 if it failed a warrant on something that required say $2000 dollars worth of work.

No way it would stand up in a hearing.

which you have just made up. they mean two different things.

na itl go to the small claims disputes tribunal thingy ma jiggy where no lawyers are involved and a judge will just hear each persons case and make a decision. saying "go for it" probably isnt a good idea.

Legally binding in the private sale of a second hand vehicle? Like I say I'm no law expert, but I doubt it.

You could still go down the route KK suggested, or even get it checked, set it up to fail, and tell them you aren't willing to get it fixed prior to sale.

that might not work either as he agreed to get it a WOF therefore he would have to fix it in order to carry out the contract. also if it got an inspection and it came back as a negative inspection then they would still have to buy it (based on what youve said they have no out clause saying that they would only buy it if there was a positive inspection)

EDIT: I can double check the shit i have from doing a law paper at uni last semester when i get home. coz this thing is in there as an example IIRC

ahhhhhhhhhh yea nah. you agreed to doing xyz in return for $x therefore there is a contract. a verbal contract is still a contract and is legally binding. sooo hmmmm might wana give that other guy his deposit back.

Both my avengers (one more than the other as it still had complete interior), both my brothers and 105s avengers all have the same smell.

ummmmmmmmm they smell the same because theyre all avengers???? hmmmmm interesting

you sir are very brave. did you overlap the old floor with the new when you welded in the new patches?

Nah I made the patch fit pretty much exactly (with a hell of a lot of trial and error) and butted them up. Didn't want ANY overlap cos that's where it rusted in the old floor.

Dunno if it'd be structurally sweet without all the bumpy bends etc in the floor, but the new metal is so unbelievably thick that it's way more rigid now. The passenger side floor has heaps of flex in it, the drivers patch has barely any!

sorta depends on how it goes down with the cert guy. my mates escorts floor has had new patchs in the floor/ trans tunnel and he was told by the cert guy to have a 20mm overlap. if yours wasnt so cbad you could hide it but you probably wont be able to expecially now that you made new seat belt anchors.

or are ya just guna hide it anyway and not tell nobody

the diesel foresters run a 6 speed. id assume theyre lower ratios being diesel and all. a turbo legacy box should be fine as the turbod ones make more power than the 6 cylinder.... definately interested in how this works out.

are the 6 speed boxes the same from the version 7 wrx through to the current subaru models? excluding the diesel ones which id presume are different

you sir are very brave. did you overlap the old floor with the new when you welded in the new patches?

what gearbox you guna run? scored a 6 speed?
