repairable write-off

Someone correct me here, but I thought a write off was the situation when the repairs are more expensive than the agreed value of the car?!

I can't see how a new roof and shit, even considering it's a brand new, top of the range car, would cost >140k.

Yeah? No?

give me a second and I'll log into the shop :D I have current LOCAL and JAP FAST loaded there and I can acess a price database fairly easiily.

ok:

G3112-JF0MA - roof panel $1500

731D0-JF00A - roof reiniforcement $1000

73910-JF21A - Roof lining $1000.

79700-JF30B - rear Glass kit - unable to price.

thats a starting point. I have about half a page pf things that 'could' be damaged on it.

in reality I can see $10k in parts myself. especially if it got into the SRS and electrical system.

given that the car has curtains and seat bags and that the curtains are bolted from the rear of the car I'd suggest that they are also part of the write off quote.

power to someone buying it and fixing it. it certainly will not be a cheap evercise.

Guys, both quarter panels are gone, they are welded to the chassis, boot is gone, spoiler gone, roof gooooone, windscreen, interior is completely ruined including seats, glass has scratched the thing to pieces - at $60 k the repair would have to come under about $55 k to make it worthwhile. The car has had a very big impact so suspect some chassis damage, I wouldnt race it with that sort of damage, and at $60 k, do the math.......

get the angles right on camera and you could look as nuts as the boys off jackass...taking a chainsaw to the roof

when you're done hacking it off, whack an awesome cage in it (easy access), and then do a full carbon fibre roof.

job done.

edit - previous owner says it's bent like a banana....dream over.

looking further at that - rear quarters both sides ( I had these pegged for replacing.) and prettly much all the hardware attached to them.

G8100-JF0MA - REAR FENDER RH - $2600.

G8101-JF0MA - REAR FENDER LH - $2600.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
