Soooo im keen to buy a daily

Clicky

Any thoughts

happy fun 4AGE goodness.


do it.



i'd be rebuilding the 4AGE. Gearboxes are prone to thrashing (with a motar like that, why wouldn't you? ) Watch out for a clapped out 2nd/3rd gear synchro, busted driveshafts, rust in the windshield and bottom of rear window. You'd also be winning lotto if you found a car with a shell that wasn't in an acco, so make sure its been repaired decently. I've seen that many AE's with dodgey repair jobs, it makes for many sadnesses.

feel free to ask me, i know a wee bit. Its been a while since I've played with these

can't go wrong @ that $$. old age owner by any chance?? if it is will be well looked after but as alex said rebuild eng as cars driven by old people gen don't like young drivers and have coronaries (well all the gems I bought of old people did).

Yeah, why is it they never increase the size of the parking lot at the train station? They complain that not enough people are catching the train but when you get there to park, there's no god damn parking spots!

And you know what else really grinds my gears, people who drive in the right hand lane going slower than any one else. Not only is it stupid and infuriating, its dangerous! Having slower cars in the right hand lane should be policed much better - and let me just throw it out there for consideration, I think the highway patrol cops could be used better elsewhere. I say we turn the responisibilty over to the citizens who actually USE the roads. Us.

How much better would it be if you could pull someone over and tell them what a jackass they are because they're driving in the right hand lane - "HEY BUDDY your not even overtaking anyone? What do you think your doing mate?" I'd even be happy to collect the on-the-spot fine and give it to the next police I see. I wouldn't even do it for the money, i'd do it as a weekend job - just because I care about our roads and our safety and my sanity.

Ok so this little old corolla was only driven by little old ladies, but it has a gearbox problem it ocasionally "jumps" out of 4th gear, ive never heard of this problem, whats wrong with it? Cheap to fix? well for 500, i can drive in 3rd or 5th

[Morgan]

as if we needed another reason to pick at commonwhore drivers.
a family friend was driving home from work wed night and one was coming the other way around a corner (between 70-80km/h), fish tailed onto the wrong side of the rd.
instinct took over and our friend pulled out the anchors. the commo slammed straight into him!
damage is impressive

pics for your entertainment













very sad to see this vehicle in such a state. was someone who took it off road and used it for what it was meant for, as well as kept it very straight.
both cars were written off.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU*K

I hate my life!


i been trying to troubleshoot why my car is running like a dog this past week or so.. turns out this is probably to blame...

http://www.news.com....63-2862,00.html

i swapped afm, all filters, and even did a UEC like 2 weeks ago so i knew that wasnt a problem and it still bogs down before surging at between 3.5 and 4k

guess who is going to work and stripping the fule injection off his car and cleaning it all day tomorrow

since i filled up i have done 200kms and i got less than a quarter of a farking tank left... hows that for economy...

anyone else been fuxored by the fuel probs in melb?

[ams]

@brokenprado, that's farked up. I take it everyone was ok? That's pretty impressive damage, espesh to wreck a car that big.

[Morgan]

yea everyone was ok. 24 YO driver of commodore was driving uninsured so will get a nice $60,000 bill from my mates insurance company!! ouch!!

Oh Cr@p, that sux.
Where did you get the fuel from and was it 98 octane?
Both our cars are on empty and Im not game to fill up.
Complain to the fuel company, they should claim it on their insurance.
