If she had looked at all she would have seen me. She just slowly reversed 3m turning a little as she did straight into me. I was sitting in the car honking my horn as she did it.

Luckily it’s just the front ¼ so it should be easy to replace but getting the paint to match will be a pain.

She will pay you right?

I think youll need to charge her for a front quater/inner gaurd, repair to the rim, bonnet, spraying, youll need a new front bar too (maybe sell me your old one??)

:)

On another note, your car is drivable now?

If you have comprehensive insurance & you got the details of the other driver, you just call up your insurance company & make a "not at fault" claim. It doesn't cost you a cent, you don't loose your no claim rating & the insurance company chases the other party up for the damages.

I have a mate who's going thru this at the moment with a beautiful HT Monaro. this silly Bit(h backed into his door while he was at the servo. It's next to impossible to get a good door for them now, but yeah he's got his insurance company to sort it all out for him

That's exactly what you should do. And any good place should be able to match it up 100% as well - I used browns down here in Richmond a few years ago with my metalic grey NXR, and it was a perfect job - you couldn't spot which panel they had done (and it was the same as yours, someone had backed into me).

I will make her pay but she dosnt want to. She wouldn't admit liability calming I shouldn't have been behind her and was a bit reluctant to give me her detailes. I know a few good panel beaters and have full comp insurance but I might not be able to organise it for 3 months.

    • Shove more foam in it as a minimum if you possibly can. Or steel wool (not the stuff with soap on it!) Baffles / getting the oil out of the air is huge, and should be done at both the cam cover, and the catch can.   I'm about to do a power steering reservoir, and even that needs some thought to make sure air is separated from the oil, to stop evil Cavitation. I'll probably look at doing my own catchcan later on too.
    • I was once told, who it was I'm to old to remember, that the length of the OEM wheels brace supplied with a vehicle is designed long enough for a average person to apply enough torque to do up, and undo the wheel nuts to the specified torque  What a average person is is anyone's guess though, i.e. average fat bastard, average knuckle head, average perfect sized human......like me Unless of course, a tyre shop has ugga dugga'd them up to "torque to yeild/strip" specs, used cross threading as natures lock tight, or a big breaker bar was used to tighten them up to get some nice stretch in the poor old wheel studs Me, I torque wheel nuts to 1 elbow joint click, lower torque settings are based of wrist clicks, higher torque settings are based of shoulder clunks, or total dislocation for anything that requires all of the torques 
    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
