What the fark?

First I have to demand that the Police actually show up and now they want to "wash their hands" of it? I would go to the station and lodge an official complaint, short of that get a letter from a lawyer and start preparing to take AKTUNG to the cleaners.

OMFG! I have not been on these forums for a few weeks and I return to this very bad news. Dave it is so sad to see your labour of love ruined!

Once again certain factions of the police force have shown contempt for the young public.

My opinion is, If you have witnesses that were not in your car, I would collect statements from each of them and gather all your photographic evidence. Including a rough diagram of the road and each cars position, then take your theory and a complaint to the ombudsman. With the evidence of how your car was damaged it should prove without a doubt that your are not at fault and the police are negligently brushing you off. Thats what I think anyway.

If AKTUNG knows he is in the wrong he is the lowest person I know of.

Good luck Dave!

I'm happy to go to the scene and take some pics giving an idea of where your car came to rest in relation to where the set of lights are etc. (giving an indication as to the amount of momentum he had). Didn't see the impact itself but was there on the night and live close by so this is no hassle for me. Let me know. In retrospect, we probably should have done so on the night.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
