I feel your pain, that's happened to me not once, but TWICE!! :rant: If the gap below your boot is a little larger than normal, you'll probably find that the beaver panel will be bent. Also check the outer edges of the taillight assemlies, they'll break their seal to the rear 3/4 guards if the middle of the car was hit hard enough. If they need to do panelwork and not just replace/repair the bar, expect the bill to come to around $1500. Not that it really matters cos you're not paying for it anyway :)

Sorry to hear it... Hope the damage isn't too serious.

Some advice for the future... If sitting on traffic light and seeing a car behind you coming up... dab your brake pedal a couple times and hold it... Your brake light might bring into the other driver's attention if he/she happens to be a little bit day dreaming or thinking you're moving.

She is paying for it all so woteva needs to be fixed comes out of her pocket. But yea i have actually had water creeping into my rear right indicator, so that cant be a good thing............

That's fux0red dude..... same thing happened to me a few years ago in my 200sx (on Chapel st mind you :P) some d!cksnap in a clubsport wasn't looking in front of him... the traffic was moving very slowly, i braked because the car in front of me had stopped. This guy behind kept going and just tapped my D-Speed rear bar and cracked it, pushed the boot in a bit too.... the repair quote was over $3k. Silly me only took his mobile number, the guy tried to change mobile numbers on me to avoid paying, but i found out where he lived and called him at home.. he ended up going through insurance when he found out the cost. he was expecting it to be under 1 grand.... I said this isn't a commodore buddy, and I have a pearl paint job :)

I'd recommend Corso Body Works in South Melbourne.. Speak to Sam. They are authorised jaguar repairers and also do repairs for Shannons Insurance. Not the cheapest, but they definitely do a top job :cheers:

      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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
