Hey all

Thought i'd share this with you

It started with a night at the movies with a few friends, followed by a small cruise around the Botany area...

Had a good night and a few laughs with the boys until it was time to head home...

I approached a round about near my mates house. Looked left all clear , looked right all clear. I proceed thorugh the roundabout and as i was about to take the 2nd exit, i hear my mate (in the passanger seat) just scream out :P but it was to late . Some idiot on my left didnt see me and hit my the passanger door. The impact f***ed my left tire and all i could do was just break as i went crashing over 2 small islands finally to be stopped by the impact of hitting the gutter... after releasing what just happened and coming back to reality i could hear a very loud noise. looking at my rev display the damn needle was bouncing at 7,000 RPM without me having a foot on the accelirator or anything. First thing that crossed my mind was that the car was going to blow up.. my mate in the back seat was screaming to get out, we all jumped out and ran as fast as we could. after a few seconds the car exploded BOOOOMM :D lighting the night in flames !!! (well not really, i spiced that part up a bit ahaha :D ) .. realising the car wasnt goiong to blow up i went and turned my engine off, the car must of been boucning at 7,000 RPM for a good 30 second to a min.

The black Celica parked and the driver rushed out appolagetic , we exchanged details and i phoned the police...

My whole left side of the was totaled, front pannel was belted in, my tire was on an interesting angle that wasnt touching the road , door was belted in and the rear pannel had a shit load of scratctches and gashes on it.

I took the police 2 hours to make an appearance, they did the whole "cop" thing and asked 1 million questions...

i hadnt had any alchol in my system but the driver of the celica admitted to having "1 glass of wine" .. when he got breathalized he was just under, at 0.038 i think :D and that was after 2 hours of waiting for the damn cops... Cops were very nice and helpfull even gave me a ride to my mates house. we didnt all fit in the back seat of the paddy wagon so we all jumped in the jail bit.

Anyway thank the heavens that everyone is safe and walked away without injury ....

Cars can be replaced, people cannot....

consider yourself lucky that your all ok, and that the driver was under the limit as insurance wouldnt have payed out if he was over..........

Id say start looking for a new car too... glad to see that a skyline wasnt at at fault or making front page news!

It is quite possible you could prove that he was over the limit when the accident happened but you should avoid that completely because you want his insurance to cover you. If he gets done DUI his insurance with leave him (and you) high and dry.

Glad you are ok mate. Must suck to see your baby in pieces. :)

Where abouts was this?

Bexley, the roundabout on New Illawarra RD... Must admit the cops were pretty good to me considering a p plater in a skyline . If anything they were giving the other guy a lot of grief....

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
