Yeh that was me mate, Ash's old car. Sounded fkn brutal, I think it's in a million pieces inside. None of the gears work properly apart from reverse.

She was going so well that night too, shit happens!!

Thanks for stopping by mate!

Going well is an understatement...I saw you blow away more than a couple of those tough cars

hmm everything dodgy seems to be in East these days.

Yeah I know, only got myself to blame though, shoulda checked it thoroughly, now I'm stuck in this mess what can ya do but try and make the best of it.

still sorting things out borci. let us know how you go

Will do, might get an RACV inspection on a shell (still has engine in it currently), how are they on inspecting chassis? That's all I really wanna know anyway...

forget RACV

hit up stateroads

ask for the inspector to call you prior to the inspection and explain exactly what you are looking for.

they do paint dept checks and everything to let you know the issues.

saved me on 2 cars before the one I bought.

major body on one and engine on 2nd.

3rd (which I had a deposit on already as I was sure was a good car) the inspector told me the facts, (couple very minor cosmetic repairs) fuel pump on the way out, that it.

wish I had one of those on that POS that I call a mustang...sure they would have found the 2-3 inches of bog in certain areas.

Essentially I would only need a body inspection? Which is only $125.

Farking dodgy sellers...

My lesson was less costly (purchased 4 x Nismo 555s for $350, that turned out to be standard WRX injectors), but I'm much more thorough now and check absolutely everything I can before buying anything. If someone tries to rip me off again they're gonna know about it.

Nothin yet :( seller gets back to Melbourne on Friday so I might be able to get 3-4k back out of him, but otherwise I'm f**ked lol. Guess that's what happens when you rush into things.

What happened man?!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
