Good luck with it anyway, sh*t happens to the best of us you just gotta pick your self up dust yourself off and start again (easy to say when its not you that has to spend $15,000).... Hope all goes well

I already told him about the remaining rear half of the car :)

dunno if it's still there or not though..... one way to find out.

holy sweet merciful mother of crap :D that almost brings tears to my eyes :)

for 22k is it almost worth wrecking it out and getting another one ??? i know that sounds mean but that is alot of repairing anyways whatever direction you choose let us know how you go gl

Yeah that is almost a good idea leech_ has there 22k plus what you could get in selling off all the parts (i think front cut is worth over 6k)....starts getting close to the territory of buying another one......all interior bits, doors, wheels etc etc.....all the bits would stack the $$ up pretty quickly towards a new one.

Such a hard decision to make, glad its not me. *touch wood*

and that was an insurance job

Could be half the problem, they dont give a toss when it comes to insurance jobs. My mum had her car repaired by a certain repairer in Queanbeyan (pm if you want a name) and we had to take it back coz many parts were missing, like the door hinge that stops the door from just flying open at will, various interior parts, the seatbelt wasnt joined etc etc etc......

I have had a recent good experience with a smash repairer whom i plan to take my car to from now on (hopefully it wont be a regular occurance/ever!). Was 1/3rd the price of another repairer i asked. I couldnt believe it. The price dropped 1/3rd in the space of 5mins all by taking a drive around the corner.

Holy Jebus! Yeah you should consider wrecking it (not saying that i would know what decision to make)...

Well its a damn shame anyway. I'm glad your alright though bro! Sounds to me like your tyre/s picked up something on the road and it was the cause of the sparks and the subsequent loss of traction. Just a theory. Or have you got more of an idea what happened now?

EDIT: Its times like this when paying my insurance company a huge amount each month feels justified.. Oh wait no, its gone. Filthy expensive bastards!

    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
