i actually have to fix some sh*t right now because i bought it off this guy and he got a rwv for me. and then i get pulled over and my right front rim isnt legal because of all the gutter rash, and i had a fog light i had to fix. so i got another rw and my front right strut is messed, i find out the bulb on the abs has been removed so the light has been on i just didnt know. i dont really care about abs but vicroads does lol. so hopefully its just sensors as it fails stopping tests. so this guy is taking the car back and fixing it and i need to buy the back 2 rims still. basically i want to fix the paint that was ripped off when he took off the side skirts, paint some spots and make it in decent selling shape as im joining the navy soon.

Welcome to the club mate. Let us know what they do about the sensors

ive got a similar problem. Could also just be a blown fuse in the engine bay?

WTTC, may I ask how in the hell gutter rash makes a car defectable? Your police seriously must have nothing better to do with their time. Would be nice to live somewhere where crime was non-existent...

Also, she looks pretty smooth, I like the rear bar specifically.

well i bought it at the end of october and wanted to fix it up, get a sub in it etc. but now i want to join the navy so im doing what i can with it and then selling it right before i go in june or w/e. about the gutter rash apparently whoever owned it smashed it so hard it caused stress cracks in the rim and it was brought in for a r/w and didn't pass??
