The exhaust would be handy. . . I reckon. .

I'm suprised that the insurer let him keep it if they paid it out, normally it goes to auction house to recover their deductibles

I think this guy has bought it from the auction. He probably got it for $1000 and now wants to make some $'s on fleabay.

Is anything ever cheap on greedebay anymore?

People seem to think their s##t is worth more secondhand than when it was new. :ninja:

Just put "rare" or "only one left in the known universe" and voila! One milion dollars...

I didnt get to see the add on eBay, but if it was black and has old looking Works wheels on it was sold threw Pickles Sydney, Just Cars total lossed the car as there had over $16000 worth of damage on it, someone paid over $7000 for it at pickles.

It's a shame the guy took it off Ebay, I don't think anyone of us here would have brought it to fix but for parts alone it could have made him some money.

I wonder what will become of it now, if anyone does hear anything make sure you post an update in this thread.

i rekon it will get parted up. or someones offered him 10k for it thinking its a 'good buy'

We should have got in touch with him and threw him a life line :D

We could have easily parted it up, wouldn't have been much left after we all finished!

Or he has just realised he cant sell a car that has been written off, with the pretence that it can be re-registered, maybe someone informed him of that fact . . . .

If he happens to be on this forum and it is highly likely, PM me with an asking price for that exhaust. .

There is one being auctioned by Pickeles tomorrow in Milperra if anyone is in that area.

http://www.pickles.com.au/damaged/vehicle/...lotid-202107380

Silver one, recovered stolen vehicle, some dents and the likes but still good for parts.

I didnt see this one go thru auction, you sure it was pickles??

Yes was threw pickles Sydney.

The one going threw pickles tomorrow is another Just Cars vehicle stolen recovered theft, owner was paid out last year and now Just Cars found the car, so will be sold threw Pickles should have no WOVA on the car so its not a total loss.

hmm leather and tv in that one at pickles!! looks like an RX, but its got the single DIN radio..........

and you CAN register a car thats been written off, but not if its a statuatory write off. that looks like a repair write off.

Ok let me ask a stupid question: if I pulled the leather heated seats out of a wreck could I fit them reasonably easily to my cloth int one? I'm assuming (maybe wrongly) that there's not a heap of wiring required for the power and heaters?

Mind you this one at Pickles will probably go for $7000+ if that's what the other one got. Although why do they say it's got no Comp plate?

if its got no compliance plate then it probably couldnt be complied for some reason. was it a 2004 model??

i could imagine there isnt much difference in the leather. ohh they are electric adjustable seats too, so there is wiring for that. whats the bet its all there anyway :sick:

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
