  1. yeah i suggested that, i cant blame the broker cuz i know its aint his fault, but its the safe transportation is sum1 responsiblity though. i dunno what to say, but after sending him the request to remove the front bar, and i did metion if it will cost more money i am willing to pay, so i really dont know hus got the responsibility there.
  2. i think my post is more suitable here just went to have a look at my car today, it only arrived at the workshop late yesterday afternoon. i know its low, so i requested for the front bar to be taken off during tranport. my broker sent the request to japan, and "replied they said they wil take it off if it has trouble getting on and off the ship" now theres 2 cracks on the bottom lip and 2 near the gril, the bar itself now is losely on. i know its not entierly my brokers fault but what can i do?im running a very stricth budget, and i definately no its not my fault either, either way i saw this coming that why i requested the front bar off, but i dont want to end up paying for the repairs because i have mentioned it to him b4. is their a fair way to sovle this, i already ask him to chip in for the repair, OR AT least provide me with the cheapest repair possible.
  3. just had the first look of my car today guys and im happy to see it, very nice indeed, but gues what front bar s cracked, plz read my thread in general dicussion and help me out, of how to resovle it.

  17. SL33KGTS thanks for that advice, seems like a good idea and might save me sum cash in the long run cuz i might need sum extra parts in the future. as for swapping it mysef, the only clutch &tranny i ever replaced is on a datsun (81) and that just a straight swap of the tranny and clutch that requires a shit load of upper strenght, becuase i didnt have a ramp. dont get me wrong, i love doing things myself, but i doubt ill know how to get the peddal in there. and plus i doubt i have the rite tools cheers guyz Ps G0DF4Th3R whats ken's number

  19. hi all, im new here and just need sum advice on where to get a tranny swap form auto to manual. if anyone know who to contact plz help out. any1 know how much it cost anyways. just seeing my options if its cheaper to import a auto and swapping the tranny here. cheers Philta
