TurboRust Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 just stating facts here 1. car is built 2. goes to track 3. trans mount bolts back off make drive shaft hit ebrake section of trans tunnel. 4. fix it, make some more passes 5. Matt's last pass, he stops at the end and says somethings not right 6. trailer up, come home 7. matt pulls driveshaft and tells me the one side wouldnt move, i goto the shop and look at it. a spring came off the brake hardware and the brakes stuck on the driver side rear 8. fix said spring, car goes out and does multiple pulls/ burnouts just fine. 9. car sits until a couple weeks ago, because he's broke and trying to find a career-based job right out of college, matt drops it off jack stands, goes drives around and everything is fine 10. Matt tells me you drove the car and were happy with it, other than the exhaust(which we knew hung low) 11. you get to work and rear end explodes 12. shitty. yes. 13. did matt offer to give you $100 back towards the new rear end? yes. Matt's in Pennsylvania right now or he'd be typing this. Eric I do plenty of business with you and would let Matt sell you(your brother) something that I know was busted, trust me. You guys both saw the car, looked under it, there were no fluid leaks at the rear end. I built 95% of that car and know it inside and out. once again if you need help on anything PLEASE let me know, i'm a phone call/text away.

Mr. Jones Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 LOL No, but I did get the driveshaft unbolted and verified it was the rear end...the drivers side won't move. We even had trouble unloading it off the trailer last nite because it was binding up so bad. . LE DERP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the issue is known about the rear end. I'm not going to hold you responsible for it. It's not your sell. And it sucks that this happened, but fact remains he spent a good chunk of dough on it irregardless of where how he got the money he spent it on what he wanted. Unfortunately the car was never test driven before it was paid for. And I've never driven it. We've already talked about the rest. I think there is plenty of room to be butt-hurt about this.

Berto Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Maybe i'm an optimist...but is that the stock rear end? If so you can get one for less than $100 and swap it? Maybe i'm not seeing how this is a big deal. I am not trying to lecture you by any means. But if you were in debt, and sold a bunch of stuff to pay off bills. As soon as that happened you went out and bought what is essentially a custom built car instead of buying a reliable form of transportation? I love my swapped RX-7 and its 200% more reliable than it was with the rotary (actually never left me stranded, knock on wood). I would still not want to purchase one if I was tight on money. Its a project, things happen. First and foremost you have to take care of your method to get to work. Will it suck to have a slow beater? Yes but as I have learned there is always a right and wrong time to make project purchases. If the rear end is all thats broken and he offered you $100, you should be good to go after a few hours worth of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that i was told it was a good rear end for the time being. i knew it would have to be changed before the end of summer.i was told it was good and nothing was wrong as i said. Before i left the parking lot were the car was it was making noise and was chalked up to the muffler hitting some ware or something before i could get it some ware to look at it. It locked up and no there was no hard driving only to find out there was history of the rear end being broke. Also the rear is more like $250 and i cant even find a 84-85 only 82-83 if you know were i can get it cheaper please let me know. moving forward i only want to talk about forward progress of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
