#328820 Hi guys I just bought a 1995 del sol vtec and I am in love with it. I used to own a 95 hatchback dx and sold ot.

Image

now i got this but with out those wheels.

Image

Image

I got some buddy club replicas to replace the xxr. however the first thing I had to do was replace the studs cause they were just nasty and half way broken off. when i took it to the shop I told them specifically that the car was unsafe to drive, an hour after dropping it off i get a call telling me they were driving it and the wheel fell off and i came to shop and found this happened, they almost didnt want to make themselves responsible and I had a huge argument with management and even had to contact the owner. I spent a week and a half without a car an I just got it back. I will upload the pictures of the repairs later.

yup they drove it hard, and when i asked the guy why he was trashing on it after I specifically said the studs were on their last legs he responded with "well it has the engine for it doesn't it?"

dammmm dude, sounds like you took it to a right set of retards, to admit beating on a 'customers' car is appauling! keep us updated on the build mate.

#328865 Hmmm yeah they took it out for a test drive...

:eh:

That sucks, I hope they pay for your new fender & paint. At least it wasn't the rear wheel, ruining your entire quarter which has to be welded in.
