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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
