Sorry for the lateness guys.
I've been quite busy at work.
Here's my latest, and i apologise for the phone pictures. I didnt have my camera on me.
There called Pinzgauers. Abit of a pig on the open road but awesome for offroading.
got it sorted.
Ended up buying a new battery for it, drove it to the auto sparkies and they fitted a 2nd hand alternator to it.
good thing it was payday on thursday, i didnt really want that money anyway :-\
Nah work gave me the morning off to get it sorted (which is very nice of them).
So ill throw a new battery in it in the morning and then drive it to where it needs to go.
Any recommendations for a mechanic anyone?
Cheers Spark, appreciate the intention.
Im based out of trentham, infact right across the street from where you park.
So would have been easier if it happend at work. Oh well.
So my car (Toyota soarer) just broke down.
The alternator failed as i was driving into the cbd. As expected my battery was getting drained as i drove around (had to drop someone off).
I tried to make my way towards Midas (The only workshop where i know the location of) and it died on Davis street.
I managed to get it to the side of the road safely.
Long story short, i need to get it fixed but i have no idea where would be a good place to go.
Any recommendations? The engines a 1jz if its any help. The car is currently located in Thorndon.
Also, would replacing the old battery with a new/store bought one enable to atleast move it to a workshop or would i need it to be transported?
P.S.S anyone know any estimates? Hopefully it wont be bank-breaking.
I thankyou for any help you give me. Im in quite a tough spot right now.
Cheers guys.
Saw the pedo wagon in PCM today. looks good
Also, bought 2x borla mufflers for the soarer.
Just gotta save up for piping etc and a dump pipe setup from oz.
Dont know where your going with this...
Thats a sick soarer/skid coupe. im very envious of his manual gearbox.
However hes still using the pre 1997 front bumper, im using 97+ with new front lip.
My hipster status still stands.
*EDIT* What the hell kind of language are they using in that thread Jared? looks like Swahili to me.
Dude that car is sex!
Loving the wheels, will be looking at those exact ones for myself. However ill be going for abit more concave, Thankyou for my accomodating toyota wheel guards.
QFT. The RB army seem to be a group of flat peakers that have complete disregard for the law, and the state of their cars.
Again, could be said for any group of motor orientated enthusiasts, but the RB seems to attract alot of dickheads.
RIP IT LIL JOHNNY!!
Got a wheel alignment, and 2 second hand tyres.
Everything was completely out of alignment, seems good now though.
And the tyres are purely for a month of running around until the car goes on storage for 6 months.
Then its 18x9.5 rota grids in hyper black. Counting down....
Stole timmah's greddy type rs bov from him.
Still figuring out how im going to hook it up on the 1jz.
Anyone know if i can just leave the stock bov on, disconnect the vac lines to it and put the new bov in the intercooler piping?
