yep repairable writeoff from hailstorm

the car is at pickles auctions

Not sure on the actual process involved but you could just buy it back for cheap and then drive it?

Sounds like win, get a cash payout and keep car. What's a few dents anyway :D

yep when your car is written off, at least in hail damage you get the option to buy the car back

you get two options

option 1 - loose car and they pay out the policy value, agreed or market depending on what you selected

option 2 - you keep the car and they pay out policy value minus the cars new damaged value

in my case, whilst the damaged value was low, it still wasnt low enough to be useful given the car had so many km's on it and general wear and tear

the agreed value was pretty high considering the car (97 gtst with 250k on the clock) so it was much more worthwhile for me to loose the car.

if i kept the car i would have been stuck with it full of dints and basically unsellable (it was almost unsellable before the hail dmg) so happy to a chance to get rid of it.

i get a chance to get a new normal car (non 2-door and non-loud car) and play with a better car after married and some work on the house.

yeah i wasnt out to gouge the market

besides it was previously repaired so its not "as new" but still working 100%

i was happy with 700 and to see it gone

as long as the other parts sell off ill be v happy

the boost kit should go for sure

the rsm will

the vafc is a bit unsure

and the turbo timer wil

all the auctions i put were the minimum id happily take

so if i get 1 bid im happy

i dont believe in starting auctions at mega low prices to try and entice people

just start it at the minimum you would accept and let it go

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
