We have a weekly cruise every Thursday...

Some dumb shit un-insurred red P plater tried to drift a left turn after a round-about in a beat up piece of shit commonwhore in the pooring rain... Went over 2 lanes, came into our lane, hit an MX5 way worse then I got hit... May be a ride off thanks to the monocoque body... but probably not...

I wasn't even going to bother the guy cause he was uninsured... I was just going to pay for it myself... had a quick look in the rain, and it just looked like a new front bar and grill... could probably get that for $400 or so...

Had a closer look later on under cover... I need a new bonnet, new grill, new front bar and a new right headlight...

The breaking of the headlight was what tipped the scales for me... so we called the guy back while we fixed the MX5 so it could drive home and exchanged details... we spoke to the dudes mum, he was having none of it :D

She was like, oh, that sounds sus, why didn't you mention the damage... yeah, we did... to your son... he was too busy trying to tell us that the car spun out cause he's a P plater... good for him... she's like, oh, come by and show us tomorrow...

We all live in Sydney, and it happened on the central coast... that's about a 45 minuts drive... one way...

Either way, hopefully it all gets sorted... I hate dealing with this shit, that's why I was going to pay for it myself... but bollocks that, he did more damage then I thought...

Damn Steve, Please tell me the driver and passenger of the MX5 are both ok? (not mentioning any names)

And that really sucks about your car as well, right after you got her finished, what a kent. :D

oh and mate if you're insured and he's not, it's easiest to get your insurance company to wave your excess, fix your car and then sue him for the insurance money, that's what I ended up doing when the woman that hit me wouldn't front up to it and was uninsured. Within a week of starting that process my car was in the workshop being repaired and 5 days after that I had it back.

My passenger door was bent right in and the whole side of the car looked like someone had used an angle grinder on it, didn't cost me a thing :D Cost the bitch like $4300 I think it was.

similar thing happened to me with my previous car... L plater uninsured swiped the side of my car - all I did was grab details, reported to police and claimed through insurance they did the rest my car was fixed within a couple weeks and a massive bill to the L plater. Best of luck getting it fixed with minimum hassles! :P

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
