My Car Is Wrecked! (warning - 5mb)


Recommended Posts

Belagrion to compare you mums pulsar to this situation is like comparing chalk with shit...please put some perspective into the situation, at the end of the day it comes down to experience and maturity...and if I did see you doing the above in ya mums car I would be the first to bag you out :lol:

I think his point is,

It doesn't matter what car you have,

if you think you can drive like Ayrton Senna,

you're gonna end up like Ayrton Senna.

Yes Mud I realise his point, however, it took you to word it better... ;)

I think there are alot of shared views on here, and they seem to be getting OFF TOPIC again.

Liam has the insurance company issued you with any confirmation of payout for the BER vehicle...??

my point bob, was aimed at the person who claimed rwd cars are dangerous in the wet as the ass steps out and they get wheelspin.

ANYTHING is dangerous in the wet and can achieve wheelspin with minimal effort. If you drive sensibly in the wet then your chances of an accident are vastly minimised.

would you like me to go back and make sure the if was in bold and underlined to clarify that i was making a point and not stating what i do?

mud your point is of the same vein, you drive with recklessness or with skills you dont posses then you too will come unstuck.

altho chances of your being hit in the head with a suspension arm are fairly remote unless your hangin round in josh's garage.

no...not yet, the assessor will send his results off to them tomorow, then they determine what happens with the payout.

Liam,

I will give your smashed up car honoury pics in the calendar!

that'd be awesome mud. If you're serious ive got more pictures on my computer at home including one of me on the night smiling with my wreckage :P also just another thankyou to everyone for their support and ill keep you all up to date with what is going on

Do you know which wreckers they'll be selling the car to?

Or what your goin to do with it from here on-wards?

You are the biggest scabber. The guy has just lost his car, give him some peace....at least for a couple of weeks. lol.

LOL!

Some people rather get rid of it as quickly as possible so they can get their next car. I know of one dude who wrote off his silvia and wanted to get rid of it quickly (did it within 8 days) and moved onto buyin a r33.

i fail to see how you find it hard to get traction in the wet. i can drive my s13 which is set up to drift in the wet and i can get traction no problems, i can drive it safely in the wet with no hassle.

my skyline has in the vicinity of 350rwhp and this too i have no problem driving in the wet,

if i wanted to i can make my mums 00 pulsar wheelspin madly in the wet and get the tail out round corners, does this make a pulsar a bad car and a powerful car that is hard to drive in the wet? no it does not.

i think u misunderstood me. what i was saying was that if u cant control ur foot in the wet, problem happens.( its just easier for a S15 or any turbo RWD cars to get wheel spin in the wet) specially for ppl who have only got their license not very long ago.

thats what i was sayin, there is nothin wrong with s15s. i had been driving that car for a year and did not have a single accident b4 i sold it.

y does every young person think a GTR will turn them into an F1 driver?? its starting to get to me....

and y is everyone so abusive nowadays? i only mentioned buying a GTR and now i got paid out. first of all, i did NOT cause the accident; then i did NOT say im a F1 driver. y cant i just happen to like GTRs? so should i just give up and buy a echo or somthing just becoz im not over 30 and u think i cant drive ?

The assessor has gotten into contact with me today and the car is definately being written-off for the total amount that it was insured for. All that needs to happen now is the claim will be finalised and they will post a cheque out to me. Ive also been told that i can keep my rims that are on the car by swapping them over with the original set, which i will be doing tomorow.

So it looks as though everything has worked out for the best and the turn around was extremely fast :D

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
