my car, destroyed by an evil saab, has gone to the great nismo garage in the sky... sorry no pics yet but will endeavour to have 'em up asap.

i was coming down commercial rd on tuesday at about 6 and went to turn right into porter st. i moved into the intersection and the light went amber. one car raced through and another (the saab) behind it slowed to stop... or so i thought.

i began to turn and *crunch*. the saab basically t-boned me at 50kmh. scared the sh*t out of the gf who was in the passenger seat.

insurance info swapped, companies called, car inspected, determined a write-off and i'm now waiting for a cheque for about $8k (less my excess of course).

off to check out the classifieds...

"i din't get sh*t"

i said i wanted to make a claim and they aksed if i was ok. i said i was callin' from the morgue...

they told me f**k all. i had to ask 'em everything, if i didn't ask they didn't tell. took 3 days from reporting to the car getting towed (was at my place). i had to prompt the guy to ask for the other drivers details.

better not take so long to get my cheque!!!

it arrived with an aftermarket exhaust and the owner put on 15" roh wheels. i didn't do anything to it.

i have seen a few advertised at around 6k though... depressing for all silvia owners huh? sooo glad i had it insured at agreed value or i'd be getting royally screwed now...

    • God I love shiny engine parts 🥰 Are you looking for more horsetorques in the mid range? (Smaller cam) Or just more horsetorques every where? (Big heads and bigger revs) Assumption: they were not bought late night shopping on the interwebs after drinking too many beers, which is typically how I pull pins on things......🤣 The evolution of your car is coming along nicely, I sometimes wish I didn't get bored with my cars and keep flipping them, maybe the MX5 will be different  
    • I got the hazards working! Turned out it was disconnected! Indicator stock still isn’t working. I took the steering shroud off and there seems to be a third connection missing I see two small white connectors but they don’t fit the indicator switch unless they need a short lead to convert the connector type. Can someone point me in the direction of the wiring diagram for the indicator switch?   https://share.icloud.com/photos/0e8ReiFSLBVJsTPUKKfA_1IdQ  
    • All of your suspension bushes/bolts etc, should also only ever be tightened when the car is sitting with full weight too.   IE, jack it back up, shove a heap of stuff down so you can lower the wheels onto so the car is "on the ground" but you have room to get under it.   It's why when properly done, you should be able to remove the shock and spring, but the arms won't go to 100% droop. If you don't do the above, you'll destroy your bushes.
