  • Switched Gears KL V6 RWD Swap Thread

    So my car had to take an unexpected turn after my brother in law messed it up and bent the stock suspension points beyond fixing.

    Previous Thread:



    So I did a little of this:









    The rest of the front suspension stuff should arrive this week.

    As for the KL, I'm looking at getting a KLG4 sometime this week.

        Brother in law*

        I had the unibody cut open near the LCA torque box and the A arms test fit just to check clearances. He set the car on the ground on the tire and it bent the thin sheet metal to hell and was sitting on the ground.

        If it had been my other brother in law he would have been taking a subterranean nap.

                "sorry, I didn't know" They don't have anything for compensation. I told my sister I want to wall up that side of the garage and lock them out of it. I offered to do that and pay rent before...

                  ok, then i guess the initial question should have been: WHAT was your B-i-L doing touching your car, let alone moving it from the position in which it was in?


                  In either case, RWD festy =

                    He wanted my jack and stands so he could put these awful mud tires on his tiny toyota truck that is rusted to hell. Then I had to yell at him because he left my good 3 ton craftsman jack out in the pouring rain in the back of his truck...

                          I see, you know you do bear some responsibility for this.

                          You let your sister marry a mentally deficient man?

                              Well it is in their garage and they aren't charging me rent so I offered to let him use my tools if he asked first and put them back. he does neither... Also, he is just a little learning disabled so you are close. If he wasn't so good with my niece (she isn't his) and wasn't the only one working to support them I would have taken more action.
