JESUS CHRIST MAN

Honestly, you are one lucky son of a bitch. I swear to god, if we wernt both driving volvos, we probably both wouldnt be here.

Has the car got full comp insurance? or is this just a lot of money down the drain?

Now comes the serious questions, and this is the way it always work. Have you bought the wreck back from the insurance company? Are you parting it out? What do you want to sell the entire wreck for?

Parts of particular interest to me

- AIR DEFLECTORS!!! (I've got dibs!)

- Your rear diff (complete diff inc housing, going to weld it/drop front shaft for some RWD fun)

- Handbrake pads (If in decent condition, I need new handbrake pads)

Thats about all for now, but yeh, the rear diff is the most important to me.

jeez - just saw your pics. Very lucky man - driving while hot headed is a very bad combination. I did that once, came back home and thought to myself "gawsh, im such a f**king idiot" - but main thing is you are ok, and no one else was hurt.

was a nice looking stagea as well....

Guys parting it out is okay by me, but unless u wanna come here and start pullin it apart urself, its gonna be a while. Its sitting in my yard under a tarp, and i dont know how long its gonna be before i can go lift it.

So Rob..... what now, are you gonna get back on the bike (horse) (Unicorn)?

I'm sure that you feel very stupid, but take it (for what it really is) like everything else in life..... a lesson. After all that's what we're here for..... to learn.

So let us know your plans.... we are all interested.

I know that right now your are in pain over your accident, and maybe feeling a little guilty. But just remember the only time that we learn is when we are in pain. being in "the comfort zone" teaches us NOTHING.

Here is an old Japanese proverb,.... "Man who destroy Stagea, must have better things coming"

:P

dont hold back with your comments now john jesus i think hes more than likely feeling pretty shitty and i doubt he feels very stupid and i wouldnt expect other forum users to say shit like that, not very nice imho :happy:

im after a few bits and pieces as well rob if u dont mind parting things out. what colour is the interior trim? if its grey i need the drivers side rear strut top plastic trim cover and drivers side little clip that the cargo cover clips onto near the back liftup door area, ill take photos tommorow to show u exactly. also the cargo slide cover thing as we discussed a week or so ago.

sorry to hear about the accident mate its not a pretty sight :( glad u came out without injury thankfully.

cheers

Brad

next stagea will be an autech 260, prob S1, cheapest one i can find. Will be off the road for a couple of years probably, getting a 34 front end conversion and engine rebuild, probably a big single turbo. Would like to widen the rear guards to fit some deepish wheels.

Colour - silvery light blue, like the new toyota colour. Seen it on echos and camrys.

Wheels - Matt black 18s.

Would like windows like newbies, no tint, if possible.

Nismo side skirts, factory rear bar.

Gotta get back in the saddle.

But gonna do it properly, and get a damn daily driver like a R31 or something to put round in.

YES MY CAR IS TO BE PARTED OUT

Anything from the firewall back is A++ condition. Those who saw my car know that its cleaned and amouralled in and out weekly, so yeah. haha there is seriously not a scratch, dent or chip from the doors back.

Seats, centre console, power windows, door trims, carpet, spare tyre shit, guages with 78tho kms on em, diff setup. ETC. dash and shit.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
