i've always had the impression "who'd want to steal from a volvo?" but it looks like there might be some theives out there who know what it really is.

i had my R33 broken into twice, both times losing the stereo and other assorted goodies. it really grinds my gears when i hear about that shit happening.

i hope it doesn't cost too much for replacements.

Sorry to hear muck; I know exactly how you feel... I had my windows smashed in a theft attempt (they didn't steal anything though)... it's a complete pain in the arse to find the parts required - especially the rear quarter window!!!

Hope your insurance sorts it all out (if you're going that way) and your car is back on the road soon.

yeah guys fair enough your with shannons but nobody is answering the question why are they better? and i dont just mean price. I underwirte insurance for a large home and contents insurer and I want to know what the policy is like I am going to read both product disclosure statements but am interested in personal expeirences people have had as customer service and claims efficiency can also make a big difference I personally would pay more to get the best product and not just the cheapest

Shannons gives you (from what I can remember):

* choice of repairer;

* first option to buy the wreck if your car is written off;

* higher level of third party property coverage (I think it's $20million, compared to $5million with JustCars)...

I'm sure there's more, maybe _800STED_ can give us a better idea of the differences.

*1 free glass replacement a year

*much lower excess $500 compared to the $500 + $700 or some shit jci want.

*pay by the month

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
