bonnet is bent, albeit only slighly.

the radiator support is a banana, but managed to not bust the radiator.

if the car was insured it would most certainly be a write off, but as it isnt i have to decide whether it is actually worth the work to fix it....im leaning toward just letting it go and start on the other coupe i have, as it is in better condition than the black one(even before the accicent)

the car isnt really that bad at all, im just not sure i could be bothered.... so if anyone IS interested in it, feel free to contact me.

new guards, bonnet(might be repairable) grill, bumper and headlight surounds would fix it...the radiator support could be pulled back out, it really isnt all that bad...yay for old cars i guess...had it been new it would have been destroyed

So the other drivers car had no brakes lights right, and didnt indicate... so that wouldnt be your fault right? :P

Not good man. But seriously, I reckon you could fix that in about 2hours. AND! Give the car a whole new look in the process, and just bolt on a sigma front end... Sigline! You will be full sick like thorpy, the drifters will love you, cause its old school too yo!

incorrect.... one car in the line up had no tail lights which contributed to the accident, but the 4wd i hit had everything workin fine....problem was he was already braking to stop at the lights, so when he stomped on the brakes harder, nothing changed from where i was sitting other than he got REALLY CLOSE, REALLY FAST, and the poor old r30 brakes are no match for a new cruiser with monster brakes and ABS.

Sorry to see it gone Jason, but not all R30 brakes are small.

This might not be the right time or place but I have 2 x DR30 standard radiators & 3 x thermo fan assemblies to suit, if they are any good to you or anyone else for that matter.

Great price ....... freight costs only.

Cheers.

      New Honda prelude at Goodwood

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.

      The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)

      Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
