I have another car onhold which is capable of much more than 13sec so I think my car has retired from the drags for now. This thing now has to go...

lol @ all the comments offering cash .... what the hell else is he going to take - Visa???

Nice car anyhow, and a free bump!

* Rear tyres are down to wear indicators.

* JVC MP3 Headunit is having 'earthing' problems (paid to get it fixed this morning, but it's having issues again, told a new headunit is probably required).

* Handbrake needs adjusting/tightening and also needs a new leather cover.

* Motul Oil + Valvoline oil/fuel filters change done only 150km ago.

$17,000 not neg until the end of March (can't believe i'm doing this).

:bonk:

DUUUUDE!!! You're out of your mind - I'm conviced of it now. Come on people - I can personally vouch for this car - It's WELL worth the money he's asking for it - Heck, it was well worth the money he was ORIGINALLY asking for it! Someone's got to be interested?? Add a nice set of aftermarket rims and you've got a sweet looking and very well performing ride! Ben doesn't have any kids yet, so this has been his baby for the past couple of years - all I can say is, he's going to make a very good father!!

LOL...congrats:thumbsup:

It was only Friday you were talking PFcs etc etc. Can you tell me how you ened up selling it, Tading Post, Carslaes, word of mouth etc, Offer any selling tips other then bend over ans sell cheaply:)?

As im needing to sell my car as quick as possible (after the respray of course:))

Yeah i've been talking P/FC's and AVC-R's for the last 6mths. Everytime I go to purchase new parts someone would call me with an offer so i'd put my money back in my pocket. Then it'd go quiet for a month so i'd be right i'll keep it and get a PowerFC, then another phonecall :(

Well the best piece of advice I can give is accept your first genuine offer. I spent/wasted 10mths trying to sell this for "the right price" meanwhile the value was dropping quicker than the offers. In the end I think I did the smart thing, weighing up the past and future costs and basically 'got rid of it'. If I'd accepted any of my first 3 offers I would have been laughing compared to my end sale price (err giveaway price).

* 10mths with a sticker on my back window (about 15-20 calls, just enquiries nobody arranged to look at it).

* 2wks in the Tradingpost (2 calls, neither looked at it).

* About 4-5mths on Carsales.com.au (about 10 calls and about 3 people looked at it)

* SAU Forums for 10mths, about 5 calls, 1 looked at it.

Without a doubt Carsales is the way to go (The SAU Forums are good because it's free but buyers are alot more pedantic). I've bought my last 3 vehicles from carsales (and sold 2 of those the 3rd I still have).

Anyway ima wait until the financial year is over, see how my tax goes (first year as a 'sole trader') and then go from there...

If anybody pulls up at a set of lights next to a Hiace van with an SAU sticker on it, give us a wave :)

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
