iv only had my car for a short time (almost 3 months) and i was about to get it insured with just cars,......the 3,000+ they quoted me was alot for me so i had to save up, and i was $600 short.

accident happend in melbourne 2 nights ago comming onto the eastern freeway at about 8:30pm we were going about 30kmph around the down ramp and my gf was driving, the roads were wet and it was really busy.

she put her foot down not that hard to get to 100 k's when were were on the straight, next thing you know the back end slide out and we were heading toward the side/hill sideways, car hit the hill while it was sliding and it flipped twice.

we are both okay but im a shatterd mess i will post some pics when i find my camera i went to the salvage place today and got my stereo and air filter that i had just put on not even a week before.

and before you all start saying servs you right for not getting insurance, well yeah i guess it does but then again i wasnt driving the car anyway so it wouldnt have been coverd in my gf's name.

faaaaaaarrk, now im out of work cant pay rent and so on, fffffffffffffffaaaaaaarrrkkk :)

here is a pic i took of my car earlier that day...il do the before and after thing

Yes you are a silly for not getting insurance, you could of spun shit and said you were driving it! How do you think the rest of people claim insurance?

Im sorry your car is a write off but you really need to get insurance sorted before you start driving a sports car thats worth more than 2 K.

Ah well, I guess your GF owes you lots of different favours, sexual, unsexual you name it!

not sure if i could of because people pulled over and had to help us out because the car had stopped on its side, (drivers side against the ground) if i was able to get out, sure i would of

bah hum bug, oh well its a miracle me and the mrs dont have a scratch on us, it could have been alot worse

yeah dude thank God you are ok with your girl... a car is only money in the end.

my next question i guess is, how much an an rb25de worth with gearbox and loom, it had done under 100,000

the only things i would be able to get from it would be...maybe wheels, but they are shit 2 tyres are blown/4stud,

front and rear lights, seats and dash, also the boot/spolier is fine

i really need to know because im just waiting for the guy at the wrecking yard to go "il give ya $1000 for it" and in my current financial position im kind of f**ked on

yeah oh well, i spose in a way its better i didnt waste any more money on it because it would have been 3000+ excess and even then i wouldnt have been able to collect it because of gf driving, anyway

here are some pics of the pain

the back quater panels are dented like all f**k, but the back/spoiler is perfect

I feel for you mate.

Tonight, I just had a hairy moment in my daily driver. the car has very low traction. it's a death trap. I was just driving along, I adjusted my position in my lane, then boom, the car was sideways and i was steering for my life. I hit the kerb. nothing is visibly broken, but this car is getting sold asap.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
