You Son Of A......

[Civic Jim]

so i got my new brake conversion on friday and got a mate to fit them on saterday and sunday along with a new cv joint

the brakes went on fine , the cv joint was for an abs model but my mate thought it was the right one as the brake conversion bits are a bit mish mash (rover 600 calipers and MG ZS discs) so the cv joint may have been ...anyway he put on the joint and he said it seemed to fit fine, put it all together, took it around the block FINE

then he calls me to tell me its done, so i pick it up take it out of the drive and BANG, i instantly put it in neutral and slam on the brakes but the end of the driveshaft was already mullered , we tried filing the grooves but the whole shaft is fubar

how pissed off am i, the car shop didnt even ask if i had ABS they just gave me a joint for a Civic with ABS and i completely forgot about it

so now i have to buy a whole new driveshaft from a breakers

on the good side the brakes seemed better




AAAAAAHHH

Oh yeah, my rear passenger side brakes are shot... sqqqqqqueeeeeeeek! Might just get some new Brembo blanks all around and new rear pads (got new fronts already on my old cross-drilled rotors). I have to save some $
