yeah.. was pretty hard hit.

i was sitting on hamilton rd, waiting to turn right into ocean rd, then i hear screaching brakes and see a white commodore sliding towards me, no time to move, bang!

witness said he overtook her a bout 500metres back doing 100+ almost hitting oncoming cars, then saw him fly into my back end at ~80km/h....

fark that

now you know why they call them crumple zones

same with my car when front on - the bonnet just concertinaed

whats the go with insurance????

i almost had that the other day with my excel

you know albany h'way and nicholson road intersection - i was turning onto nicholson right (ie coming from carasoul), and traffic ala sudden stopped cause of lights, chick on P plates screeched to a halt about 10cm away from me - not once, but twice (traffic surged forward, then stopped again, and she nearly hit me twice)

mind you, i wouldnt have really minded, my rear bumper is crap, and side panels are slightly dinged

insurance would have been a bitch to follow up tho

I'm fine... Mitchy was bringing me lunch :) happened at the end of my street at work :P

The guy took off straight after details were exchanged, my bet is he had been drinking!!

All Mitchy's hard work and time in that darn motor is now down the drain :)

    • 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
