I'm sure that car is on one of SAU's posts. Ive seen that shot before.

Anyhow, there was this true story of how a solicitor took off overseas with his secretary and relocated elsewhere, abandoning his wife and children. He sent a letter to his wife asking her to sell his 500 series AMG (which at the time was worth megabucks), split the money and send him half.

The purchaser couldn't believe his luck at buying such cheap and perfectly good luxury item.

The husband was puzzled about the wired cheque for a measley $500, probably thinking it was just a downpayment.

The wife; well she gave her share to her own family court solicitor.

HISTORY DOESN'T REPEAT ITSELF DOES IT???

Send them an email.

I'll bet they'll tell you that the car is currently overseas because they thought they could get it rego'ed over there (the address is just where they used to live), but it turns out they can't, so to recoup some of the costs they'll sell it on the cheap but you can't inspect it since it's not in Australia......

As terry says.. that car was on these forums.. like 6 months ago.. a guy on here was interested in buying it and wanted to know who owned it as it was being stored at a car yard.. from my understanding he bought the thing and was trying to off load the wheels on here..

so yes sounds like a scam

once saw an NSX for $12000.. hit him up and he said he was in italy starting for business and needed some more cash to close a deal and make him a millionaire.. upon looking at what an nsx was really worth.. up around $60000 at the time... i found the exact same car, same pictures etc... different name and contact details. haha, hit him up and never heard back.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
