My dream of purchasing a m35 has been shattered , my funds lost due to incorrect info from stock broker , now iv'e tried to go for a loan , found out i have a black mark on my credit list due to some unwise ventures years ago in my younger days , as financers dont want to fund grey imports , and the ones that do see the black mark and back off, even though i earn good money , still no go, so it has to be an aust delivery vehicle , or zip , SUBARU LIBERTY GT WAGON ????? ;) , KINDLY SEND A $2 DONATION TO HELP UNDER PRIVLAGED NON STAGEA OWNER , HELP FIGHT THIS ABOMANATION ON SOCIETY . LOL. :D

Sucks to hear that mate, finance companies are pretty blinkered when it comes to imports. Their thinking is that if most major insurers won't touch imports, there's gotta be a reason for that. How long ago was the mark against your name left? I think they expire after 7 years?

not good champ, i had a similar problem fixed it with a unsecured personal loan from westpac. they gave me the cash and then i went and found a car within my limit. then payed out the car loan with a home loan lol.... now i own the car!

u'll find a bank will be more then willing to help you if you're already a customer, and they can see all of your info infront of them.

get the mrs a golf or mini!!!

why not rwd? :yes:

Hmmm, Golf would be cool as would a mini... Service costs and vehicle price are downers though (No. She does not like the old mini's :banana: )

Also needs to have a bit of grunt (she is bored with the 165kw from the Magna :) )

Gotta have 4 doors and be smallish car (she loved her Mirage)

Why not rwd?

Since Alan put AWD ahead of all other preferences I figure it is pretty high on his list...

I sort of have the same problem, except I allready have my Stagea. Since my turbo died I tried going to the bank to extend my loan amount but now that I am casual not fulltime they wouldn't do it for me. Savings a bitch to since, I was unemployed for 2 months and got to get ourselves back on track with bills. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope you can work something out to get your car.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
