wxactly what i was saying....

that mazda prob pays about 1500-2k aus insurance a year, expect that to treble next year.... hahahahahahaha

Is your insurance premium also based on previous accident costs as well? Didn't know that

So if I got into an accident with a ferrari tomorrow and was at fault, my premium would go up shit loads?

I know you premium goes up when you make at fault claims but didn't know it's also based on the $$ value of the claims

you declare you have a claim,

they will look at claim history, see it cost half a million quid and laugh at him...

i dont know if its tied together, but i should imagine his insurance will go up more substantially for writing a lambo of than say a mini...

No care if the lambo was speeding

Its as if the Mazda didn't look, and still kept going when the lambo was close

Mazda at fault

On a street lined with cars, the lambo is crazy low... If it was coming fast (it was) then even if that the mazda did look, but couldn't see any cars coming in the immediate area...

Lets say he could see 50m of clear space on the road he was turning onto, and couldn't see any other cars around because the lambo was low and far back, if the lambo was travelling at 50kph it would take a min of 4 seconds before it reached the mazda. In a 50 zone, that is more than enough to be considered a safe gap.

Also, with an accident like that you don't get airborne at only 50, or 80 ;)

Well it's definately a percentage game... My insurance jumped by $60 this year which was only 3%, acceptable. But if my mums insurance jumped by $60 then I'd be saying why the hell is is 15% more when the car is now worth less?

Called up Shannons yesterday actually to fix a few things on my policy... including my listed mods being Bilestine Suspension, Walpro Fuel Pump and a Power Sc...

Hey mang your starting to sound like the vicroads campaign ads

Called up Shannons yesterday actually to fix a few things on my policy... including my listed mods being Bilestine Suspension, Walpro Fuel Pump....

I called them up when referencing a quote and asked to alter some listed mods and they said they didnt care. ie if listed you have coilovers, they dont care if brand changes etc.

Did they mind about having bilsteins? (thought you always had them...)

Was more the typos that the guy made when I first listed off the mods, BILE STINE

Na, they don't care... I altered the Bilstein Shocks on the policy to now be Shockworks Coilovers, zero change to the premium, was just keeping the records up to date...

If you're on agreed value, once you hit a certain number of mods the car goes into the "Modified" bracket, and small changes/additions don't alter the premium or excess or anything.

also. my tempura skills has leveled up like x 100. who's in for nek dinner night?

Sounds good - I hunger some tempura

Yesterday I got rammed from behind by a guy in a Lancer, then we exchanged numbers :turned:

But on a serious note, he has no insurance and cannot speak very good English (been in the country only ten months). Luckily my insurance said they will wave my excess if I take down his details - also, since I'm not at fault, it will not affect my premium or rating :D

Still a pain in the arse having no car for a while.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
