god damn ... my poor n/a gts ....

everybody is ok ....

corner wasnt marked ..hit a guard rail at around 30odd km/hr head on ..well ...maybe at a 20 degree angle... front of car looks pretty rooted ...she still runs, i drove her out of the middle of the road...

from what i saw it needs:

radiator

front bar

binker set

headlights

bonnet

front d/s quater panel

new tyres

suspension work

steering arm was pretty skrewed too.

front drivers side wheel was up against the firewall..

have i missed anything?

prob stuffed up sumthin else on the inside...but thats bout it

The towie told me it would be upwards of 12gs to get it fixed (this is him quoting in the dark from what he saw..anybody want to price it up for me from the above information?)

Its insured for $14000 with justcar .... just wondering if that sounds like a writeoff or not? ...id really like to keep it.

Has anybody had similar experiences? if so would you care to share?

Just when i was going to get engine work and new shoes for her...ugh .... oh yeah..i wont be able to pay for anything till i get my credit card back too ...figured out i lost it yesterday because my wallets falling apart ..

maybe its a sign telling me not to have anything done to the car...?? ...maybe its a sign telling me im not supposed to have it? ...

ARRRGH!!!,......y do u feel so shit after accidents!

good to hear your ok dude.

i doubt it'd be a write off but you could probably get a panel beater to over price the parts and panels (go somewhere thats notoriously expensive like queen st. smash)

if you're handy with tools you could probably repair it yourself. so get a quote, get them to write you a cheque, and then dont go back to the place, just buy the parts and do it yourself. you'll make a fair amount of $$.

but you wont have any kind of warranty if you decide to do that.

That's really bad news... sorry to hear! As others have said, get a few quotes then do a self-assessment of whether or not it is viable to fix up.

Maybe it's an oppurtunity to upgrade :)

it doesnt look to bad, it wouldnt be a write off, but seeing they go by new parts and its only insured for 14k then it may be a problem. just go to the wreckers source second hand parts, i saw someone on the forums in the for sale section is selling a series 2 front end in white, that is you SOLUTION!!

Your insurer will either repair the car or write it off . If they write it off they will pay you the sum insured ( if its agreed value ) less any excess.

If they deside to repair it they will pay the repairer NOT you .

If they deside to write it off you can make them an offer to buy it or go to the auction and bid on it , if you are the highest bidder its yours .

      Hey all. Looking for all of the carpeted trunk trim for my 95 GTST coupe. I’m having a hard time finding the pieces I need on US or Japanese sites/auctions and was hoping someone has a clean set stashed away somewhere?

      New aerial is aerialing well....trips into Goulburn are not losing the ABC classic radio signal Also......I've been procrastinating about wheels for the MX5, the car doesn't need any more tyre, I just "want" different wheels, so I went looking for something that legally fits the new Pilot Sports +1 size 215/45 17 that I'm currently running on the 17x7 OEM wheels (stock size is 205/45 17), not a silver, and not a black, ended up with gloss bronze Konig Dekagrams in 17x8 +40 which fit without the need for rolling the guards, whilst larger than the OEM wheels they are also lighter than the OEM wheels, and at just under $1300 for the set I'm more than happy with the price I seen a set of matt black Deka's on a MX5 when I was at MX5 Mania, same wheel size, same tyre size, sat really nice, and not stretched enough to look aids, although the 215/45 17 is the smallest that you can legally fit Just need to find some good black wheel nuts to suit

      So I decided that I wasn't happy with how I originally wrapped the loom with fleece tape. I didn't factor in the new intake manifold/plenum so it always sat a bit funny. Yep, I decided to unwrap it and redo how the wires would branch out. Added in a light twist too, here's hoping I didn't snap any 30 year old wiring because FML if I did. Took a few more photos of the shit box too, needed it for Enthusiast Insurance as they wanted photos to justify why my agreed value was above market by a fair amount.

      Help reliable 5-600hp

      if wanting reliability and that level of performance a dry sump is mandatory for circuit stuff as you'll just be filling the head with oil. easy and reliable setup with potential for more later Hypergear bolt on turbo or a g30-660 with T3 rear housing .92 external gate mod to factory exhaust manifold with 45mm waste gate plazmaman/pwr intercooler oil cooler 1200cc injectors 460 TI/walbro with upgrade relay and wiring/pwm control turbosmart fuel reg Link g4x plug in ecu with knock, oil, fuel pressure sensors, 3 port mac valve, DBW conversion Quality clutch kit- NPC is what I've used for a long time READ THE WHOLE OIL CONTROL THREAD Could do major service while there and maybe headgasket, studs and valve springs. as soon as you whack a massive turbo and short runner intake on a street car they are useless and not practical the above will be a fun and reliable 400-430hp on E85 all day with correct maintenance and mechanical sympathy.
