    well i took my car to eric at a2zed and asked him wat exactly is wrong with her and why she idles so badly, after a few tests and stufff he soon worked out that i had low compression showing in a few of my cylinders, so after allmost no thought im like yep ill get it rebuilt... 3months later with enough money i sent it his way,

    so after finding out that the engine i got put in when i 1st got the car from my old mechanic that got it from a wreckers suppose to of done around 80,000k's imported from japland looked like it had fallen off a forklift and taken a nice smack to the back of the engine and bent and cracked a bunch of stuff and pushed the cam timing solenoids in eric fixed all that stuff and had fun with all the striped out bolts that where all over the engine he got it apart and about 2weeks later i get her back :), im sooo happy with the job and service he provided, she drives like a dream :D

    so to the point of this thread i just wanted to say a big thanks to eric and the boys at A2zed and if anyone in the Brisbane or even goldcoast area is in need of a good mechanic dont even think twice about it coz he is well worth the travel

    and that is my story xD

    just standard.... alot of ppl where saying well its gona be apart why not get work done? but im not rich or looking to get huge power out of her so if looked after theres no reason she shouldnt last another 20years like some of the 20year old zeds that are still kickin around

    good news that its all sorted and back on the road. shame that they people you invest your money and trust into screw you over, unfortunatly thats the sad side of the mechanical world for consumers.

    fresh engine and issues sorted, cant be more happy with that

    I saw some of the damage to the engine... lol it was pretty screwed! Glad to hear it's running again though :)

    PS. Clean your engine bay! Throw in a few seeds and you could grow a bloody veggie patch in there... :rofl:

    apparently Eric already made sure it got a good clean before it left the workshop
