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

Hope it all works out ok for you man, drop me a pm if you want.

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.

dang no way you should have to pay for that dam commonwhores

on a side note the last 3 posters are named Steve :(:D

yeah +1 to insurance

the buety about insurance is they chase the fool for the money not you so if he can only pay $5 bux a week hes paying the insurance company not you

sorry to hear about this..

did u get his details? u could always get the cash from him as it was his fault

an uninsured P plater ran into my friends skyline and he had to pay cash to fix it

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

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
