A Volkswagen product in its natural environment

For the people interested in track insurance - have we heard of anyone claiming through it successfully? I feel like there would be a ton of conditions attached to that.

Giving the Federal RSR-R a go in 245/40 all round. Cheap borderline semi with a good reputation from what I've read. Will be interesting to compare with the AD08Rs, which are now completely shagged out. Not expecting a miracle in the wet or a quiet tyre in the dry given my past Federal experience. They are only 10 weeks old so should be nice and soft.

He'll do nottin

You dropped it 6 grand in less than a day? What gives?

I have a soft spot for the '89 Prelude with 4WS Hondas drive nicely But they are overpriced for what you get and their fanbois can be the worst kind

Your post was going fine until the Honda part

So...any updates?

Traction control and sports shift, which is the most pointless thing in a CVT transmission

Am not complaining too much; my front bar needed a respray, I've got a hail damage free bonnet going on and I'm getting a "small bill" to fix the rear end damage at the same time...plus free soulless loan car to make me appreciate the Skyline all over again.

How to park and how to walk over / around speed bumps as a pedestrian You know, those life skills you're supposed to carry into adulthood

Lady at work was parked next to me and hit my right front fender + headlight and bumper as she was pulling out. Must have turned full lock cause there's plenty of room and we are all parked reversed in.

It doesn't take much to cave in the Skyline rear end. My rear end damage that I've had for 2 years (crunched in bootlid and rear bar) came from my car slowly rolling backwards into a car with a bullbar...8km/h max. I'm getting this stuff fixed at the same time as the current front end damage, so should be looking nice again.

That's fair enough as that's also what your insurance company is for, and as the other party has been identified you're not liable for an excess etc. However they're still screwing you on the loan car and probably doing it because they know they might not recover costs from this guy and it'll only add to their bill.

That's a load of shit from them...I didn't even involve my insurance company. Just a third party assessor / litigation lawyer who the panel beater referred me to. The woman who hit me admitted fault and her insurance company took on the liability, so everything I'm out of pocket after that is on her insurance, hence free loan car because I ticked the box that said I don't have access to other transport. Involving the lawyers has turned $1000 worth of panelbeating into a several thousand dollar claim.

Shit mate Guy must be hard up for money. Sad that people push their problems onto other people. I've had mostly good experiences on the forums, but I think I have been lucky. It's the 1 in 50 bad transactions that stick out the most. Spending this much on gear I'd wanna fly there first too, but understand you're overseas in which case it's a risk you take Hope you get it sorted. Was the other gear all there and legit?

Jestful remark is jestful. There's no joy in the Hyundai - don't know what dezz is raving about. Every CVT flare and disregard for speed bumps is soulless.

Damn it that's reasonable Wish they were available closer to Christmas

GTS-T in for panelbeating, copped a free loan car cause being not at fault is awesome. Ain't that right Simon? '16 Hyundai Accent with 2000km on it and new car smell. Shit has come a long way since the 90s. 6.2L/100km vs my 18-19 on E85...they can keep the Skyline.

Good time to test my new Shockworks coilovers?!?

When you don't have to ask your partner if you can do a track day because she's the one who told you about it

"I hate having an RB25." - No One ('93 - Infinity)

88E 'avin a nice day in the green sun A few more cents and I'll have a whole dollar

You have a back injury to take care of - priority over pushing for PBs

Thanks mate
