that audi isn't a write off.

the insurance coy may just give him a new one b/c it is so new...

but that car will end up at pickles or manheim fowles...

chassis doesn't look bent on the TT so it will be repairable.

Sorry to hear and main thing is you are OK. The damage to the Audi doesnt look that costly or like it could have affected it too badly structually. Is it worse than it looks?

At least you had 3rd party insurance too

ye the last thing id want after buying a brand new Audi is for some1 to hit it then getting it back repaired, id want a new one too if ive forked out that much money.

Mate I know exactly where that is. When I was young and dumb i used to give that corner a little clutch dip every now and then on my way home from work. That was untill the cops and residents figured out what time I did it on certian nights and I got a serious warning. Im sure you wernt doing anything that silly. All the best with the repairs.

Ahhh so that was you... my mate told me about this on Saturday night, he saw the aftermath just after it happened.

You're a De La boy then?

yeah de la boy. there is still some bits of my grill at the scene :'(

thanks for all the tips. im gonna start doing some calling next week.

every time i decide its not worth it to get it fixed i have a look at it outside my house and change my mind

from looking at ur second shot, seams like the reo has been chopped, maybe in japan, if thats the case you'll have a tuff time getting insurance to pay you out. they'll claim that the cut out caused a laxk of structural strength and void ur insurance.

Looks like a standard series 2 reo to me. they are a bit thinner than the series 1's

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Duncan · Posted

      That is typical (for a rb at least) with a medium to large turbo, noting the format of the graph is probably misleading what you see a little (half portrait width but full height, in landscape it would look quite different) Basically until it hits target boost the torque curve is rising steeply, when that is 4000+ rpm it is not great to drive since almost all of your life is between 1,000 and 3,000 rpm. Once you hit target boost the wastegate opens and torque stops rising so quickly. From there the shape of the curve depends mostly on the cams and where they have a peak vs the rev limiter

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Last of the maintenance items for now....not sure why but the drivers side window switch had heaps of wear on the right front and right rear switches Unfortunately, unlike earlier Skylines the controls are bolted to the door trim from the inside. So....off the with door trim. There are bolts or screws: Behind the door handle cover, pop it off from the handle side Under the rubber trim at the bottom of the door pull (also just pops up) Behind the courtesy light at the bottom. Other than that, just window down then pop off the usual selection of push in clips around the perimeter and the trim lifts up Interesting that they have a bolt on cover instead of the old school plastic held on by goop....I guess they prioritised sound levels over price Then, 2 screws and 2 plugs to replace the switch (looks identical to the Fuga/Q70 one incidentally) and put it all back together. Also much better

      ok I understand, but the majority of turbo vehicles lose torque, or have a flat torque curve after the spool.  hence my initial misunderstanding. I didn't think this type of curve was possible

      It is completely normal. Your original understanding is what was wrong, not what you see in the charts.
