hey there4, a few months (5 or 6) i crashed my dads brand new magna lol, wasnt a write off but i did $15k damage, it went to romanos and was supposed to tkae a month, it took nearly 2 and a half months due to delays. I doubt this is normal for them though. One of the people needed to fix the car was on holiday for opart of the time, and they had to order new parts from japan.

BUT they did a great job and the car came back driving good as new.

thats how i know it :(

i was driving that car to work for ages haha

and no it doesnt cost, insurance covers it.

well i guess youd have to ring ur insurance to ask if they do but my dads did.

hmmm a week later....and my car hasn't even been looked at :D hehe mmm how long does it take to repair front bar...and get lower control arms these days? and also does Aliance Rim repairs...i mean can the repair ne damage on the rim provided the rim is not split in half and like bent and stuff? *cause romano's is sayin my rim may not be repairable* :stupid:

It's better to get a whole new rim. Don't want to be racing down a speedway/dragstrip at 180km/hr and ur wheel shattering due to a hairline crack that's not visible due to the paint eh? Take the safest route out. Besides, u're covered by insurance arn't you ?

  • 5 weeks later...

yeah its pretty wicked job...apart from the rims :laugh: hehe my rims looked better b4 like they done a wicked job repairing the rim but painting is a bit under average :laugh: like if thats the closes they can match it then >_<

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
