So after waiting 3months to import my Stag and only driving it for 4months, it has come to an end being a write off...... even more annoying is the fact that summer is just around the corner. :angry:

It's basically a desktop support role, you'd be the first line of contact to try and resolve internal employees PC issues and / or escalate to level 2 / 3. Two of the Three level 2s are on SAU - small world :P

Probably not your thing.. but thought id mention it! and to any other wastelanders I know a few do / study I.T

We end up talking cars a lot anyway lol

If only all jobs were advertised for what they really are in the world!

So got defrauded on ebay.

Got bored and decided to try and find some contact details:

after about 10 min

got his address,

GF phone number

GF mum's phone number

Where he works

job title

phone number.

sent him a friend invite on FB

and think found parents address and phone number..

but leaving it with the cops for the moment.

but seriously if your going to scam some-one you prob best not be plastered all over the net.

Amazing what you can find out with a bit of digging isn't it? :D

Have similar such methods for dealing with SAU scammers & other things. Funny thing is that most of them simply are not that intelligent to begin with so information can come thick and fast on occassion.

I tell people sometimes just to google their own name/phone number. It's hilarious sometimes how much stuff is returned as a result.

Haha exactly, not gonna BS - it is what it is. Fairly entry level but got to start somewhere! Would be good if I did find someone that was successful would mean I'd get 2k :D

Obviously the job isn't that bad considering the other guy has been doing it for 10 years

Asian name and the Asian learner thing

Basti I'm white sorry to dissapoint! Haha

Oh true, forgot about those. Did live in Asia for a time :).

LOL @ starting the colour check in bahahaha.

OT: Digital age is indeed scary...

I still wake up occasionally from the dogs barking, but they go for ages so it is expected

apart from that it's good

It does. I'm taking it most nights now...too impatient to wait for my insomnia to subside naturally.

Only trying it for the alleged wake up feeling fresh benefit

Nah, impossible to catch them with just finger prints if any in my car.

Funnily, i got a mail yesterday from a Vet clinic with my indoor soccer membership card..... so they must've threw out all my stuff out the window while making the escape.

So who here has a Hyundai Excel or Ford Festiva for a daily?

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
