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 can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
