f**kedy f**k f**k!

I may have just killed my baby... Involved in a minor fender bender, tried driving away after exchanging details only to realise that I was losing fuel and the engine was being totally unresponsive. Pulled over to have a look under the bonnet and the front reo is bent with no space between the radiator and engine and the engine seems to be sitting at a funny angle in the bay.

To make things better it turns out that Just Car don't have a 24 hour claims service... Car is parked and locked and I have to organise a tow and a claim first thing in the morning.

Spoke to insurance company today, they are organising a tow from where the car ended up and all the rest. However with damage to three panels and the reo as well as whatever mechanical damage has occurred I have been told to expect it to be a write off sad.gif

Time to start shopping around I guess. Thankfully I just bumped my agreed value smile.gif I'll probably get $18k in hand after everything is settled so that would give me plenty of options. Thinking maybe I buy a dirt cheap camry/magna/lancer etc for a couple of grand and start looking for an S13 smile.gif

Started the car up to get her on the towie. Engine was not a happy camper. Belts squealing like a bitch from them rubbing on the fan shroud that has been jammed up into them. Idle was all over the shop, almost stalled (in a freaking auto) at one point and was surging to over 2.5k at other points. She is not a well car :(

what time and day to meet at kenmore maccas

Thursday night, 7:30 usually. Keep an eye on this thread. Meeting gets changed occasionally for various reasons.

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
