well this car was doomed from day one.
i thought since i was buying a car sight unseen it would be smart to get it from a "reputiable yard" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
when it got delivered to me in cairns first thing i noticed was this....... http://youtu.be/dItMZI5o2r0

the car was purchased from " BEST BUYT AUTO'S" :rofl: :oops: in NSW

i won't go into the full list of defect's but let's just say i coulden't sleep if i sold a lemon like this to someone!

Image
anyway i purchased a full calmini 3" lift kit to fit.... which is now for sale :oops: un-used complete with wide track adaptor kit :mrgreen: you will see why as soon as you scroll down :oops: :evil:




Image
then 2 nights ago this happened
Image







So needless to say the suzi build is on the backburner but now that i have discovered this site i will be a frequent visitor and enjoy reading all the tech and viewing all the build's


parting note spread the word DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY AT BEST BUY AUTO'S unless you want a shit box then to be told to fuck off when it fall's apart!


cheers Starky

Hey Starky, bad news about drowning the new bus, but fark that's alot of smoke!!!! 8O

i'm guessing the adaptor kit is just the black chunk of steel with the 3 holes & the shiny round thing next to it, lazy buggers could have atleast welded the chunk of steel onto the RHS diff drop bracket. :wink:
