Well thats the thing, if Flav had said to me "hey mate - you better carry a fire extinguisher with you in the car, just in case something goes wrong", I'ld have bought a powder extinguisher straight away, but I had no idea that the was even a slim chance of this happening. When I first saw...

There's also a manual on /off vent that blows aircon air onto your legs from next to the central column, I'll get a photo happening. The Aircon heats as well as cools, and the aircon buttons change colour to a warm red when that happens. I've started to get all the bits together to repair it, but ye...

Nope I've not posted anything on the Austarion forum's as I'm not a member of the site, even though I own whats left of essentially a 4 door Starion. This thread will be an interesting one as eventually, (gotta save up at least another $4k), I'll have the Galant* fixed and running again, (although t...

The VCAT paper work has been lodged, it's finally moving ahead - that green galant 2 door is still available but I've yet to find out about the price.

I hope you all have a safe and happy Xmas

good news man keep me informed if you get a free weekend and have another car come round for a beer or sumthing and ill show you whats going on with TUFSIG That would be good, the other car's a 1963 series 2a landrover - in original condition (which translates to - original motor and gearbox = drin...

Ps I'll find out about the Green Galant for all those that are inquiring about it, and I'll get some interior and engine shots etc posted as well

Lowminion. Can you please post this info on Austarion? There are people there still singing his praises..... I will second that, he gets a lot of praise .I always thought the thread asking about had anyone seen his missing daughter was a bit weird... His knowledge of Mitsubishi's is well renowned a...

yeah, the Garrett converted turbo would be a shame to waste, as well as the ported head, and the modified block with the balancers removed to gain some extra kw's, not too mention the new drive plate, although it'll probably take me another year to save the needed $$ to restore it, but yup I'll have...

I think in the long run this might be the better way, also don't forget that any person that was considering using Flav as their mechanic might now think twice. I've not decided whether to pump more $$ into the thing and have it redone, as my daily driver which this thing was orig bought to replace ...

Hiya all Consumer Affairs Victoria got in contact with Flav, to find out his side of the story, and to see if a solution could be found, what his insurance company was etc etc. In their own words, Quote "Unfortunately, on this occasion efforts to conciliate this matter have not led to a mutuall...

If you guys are in contact with austarion, you should look at getting a digital cluster, if I can ever get my damned mobile to hook up to the pc I can post a pic of one, lol.

Does anyone know of a mechanic and an auto electrician that can come visit and supply a quote for the repairs needed ?

You're right - I'm past caring [7/6/2009 6:06:04 PM] Lowmion: My friends say that your plan would work, that I should offer you 3 out of the 15k for your troubles, that I should give you a time limitation and that if it's insured via your business, the rates would be way cheaper. I'lll come see you ...

Fair advice I've not done anything illegal yet... I have no problems with people reading how I feel If you know of an indictable fire expert, please post the details The only thing that my previous posts could get me in trouble for is if he ends up dead. And so far all I've done is try to call him -...

The level of damage to the engine bay is unreal, I've not yet moved the car - still in a "holding pattern" with where to move it to. Waiting on lawyers to return my calls. And waiting to hear from a gent that does forensic fire analysis on motor cars, for litigation etc. At least I'm no lo...

Good night my friends

Thankyou for your support

I've got to reign in my anger.

I must admit I never saw this coming, or thought that I'ld be betrayed in such a manner.

Yours

I've also checked all that out, and yes you're correct. But it'll take 6 months for them to query it, and by then the rego has run out. In that time I've still not got my car, and have had to store what's left of it. He's very lucky I was in it alone, as if those I love had been in it to share the e...

Thankyou - are you free tomorrow ? I'll pay for your day - as if he (Flav) is right it'll stop a number of things...

The problem with fighting this - is that according to Flav - he's not liable...........

Grrrrr ..............

The IRS should mount to the Aus-Spec Sigma. You might need to weld in rear strut towers for the rear shockers. But, wrecking the car isn't the answer. Flav fixing it is. If you were wrecking it, I'd like the wheels, but you can't wreck it! It is such an awesome car! I've spent everything I own on t...

What he's saying is it's not his fault the thing caught fire - and that there-for he's not obligated to repair it. For you it would be easier to just transfer your Tufsig motor into it (complete with loom), as then the guards and bonnet could be transferrred. I'm NOT giving this guy any more money -...

He was the last one that was working on it before it caught fire, and if you did no work to it yourself, or had anyone else touch the engine bay, then it obviously is something he did. It's not like your car was on fire, or caught fire, before Flav worked on it. I can see now that even before you g...

then swing me the green galant and we have a deal :lol: compo could pretty much pay it.... why not exaggerate a bit or something :lol: non smoker and was hazard to your health hahaha :oops: I dont smoke, and all I ever wanted and paid for is my car to be fixed. I never expected this, but again I'll...

Flavio Siblio (yes that's Flav from the http://www.austarion.com/ forums for those un-initiated) told me that the fire would have been started by the headlight relay's he didnt replace on the left hand side of the motor, and that there's no way it started as a fuel fire, he said those relays shorted...

Thnx I'm so over that car now If I stay outa gaol long enough I'll buy that green Galant and put the motor into it, as it'll be easier and cheaper - and dare I say faster. So that means if Luke wants the IRS and 4 wheel factory ventilated disc brakes it's his. [digital dash] the 4 speed auto I'ld ha...

Yup

yeah

I'll keep you all informed as to how this goes, and I'll try to make sure it stays out of the 6 o'clock news as I'm not impressed
