Hey guys,

What did everyone get up too last night?

I came out to my car and found that someone wanted to key my car.

It goes from on the bonnet in circles all the way down to the passenger side to just past the rear wheel.

It is f**ked have to pay $1400.00 excess and then pay a extra $400.00 next year.

Why?

Man that sucks hard!!

Insurance is a rip. You are sometimes better off getting third party property damage instead.

The amount you pay each year plus the excess is usually more than most small accidents. Paying full comp, sometimes you could have bought your car over again in as little as 3 years! Unless you right your car off totally it is better not to have comp. I have done the sums on this & it is true.

In the last 9 years (since I bought my first import) I have saved about $27000 in insurance premiums by not going for full comp. My current import is only worth $7500, so even if I right it off I am still way better off. Thats how insurance companys make money!

I'll shut up now.

Yeah i know what your are saying but at the monment i'am still better off as i have only had my car for 7 months so all up i have payed $1600 a year premium and will have to pay $1400 excess and they are going to have to spray the entire bonnet and the entire left side of the car as the scratch mark is deep, like to the metal, so i'am not sure how much it will cost to fix.

I might be better off getting the whole car done in a different colour and me paying whatever extra it will cost.

      You know the worst thing about acquiring more space for me? I tend to acquire more things to fill the space...

      Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!

      Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).

      Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
