On September 24 a driver in a silver or grey FD Honda Civic (or some other Honda sedan) decided it'd be a good idea to speed through a red light.

I couldn't stop in time and we collided :( . The guy in the Civic then left the scene :mad:

Thought I'd share the damage while I sit here waiting for the bad news that my baby is written off.

Out of interest, what do you guys think? Definitely a write off?

 

Also, just in case, if anyone has seen a smashed up civic in the Cabramatta area in the last week - any info would be appreciated.

Damn that's rough mate, write off for sure!! 

I had Troy from iron chef try to source me another clean bayside GTT for around 6 months with very little luck before I called it quits, hopefully you can find another one!

sorry to hear
Exact same thing happened to my mate's super clean r33 gtst too in 2005 when the r33s were going for around 20k still, except it was hit by a kingswood and the kingswood fled the scene.
Police wasn't much help back then.
It's a shit thing to go through and I definitely know how you feel

I'm considering buying the car back, getting a front cut (without the engine) and repairing it that way. Hopefully engineless front cuts aren't too expensive.

That is, of course,  it isn't a statutory write off - which I doubt.

 

Unfortunately the police haven't done much now either. Because of where it happened there is just no footage. They did at least check the servo nearby,  which was nice.

Essentially you need to ask the insurance company for the salvage value of the car. This is what you need to pay them.to keep your wreck. If you choose to keep it then they pay you out the insured value less your excess less salvage, then you.need to goto the rms to get a form to fill out to apply for the right to repair it. Then have the repairs sign off saying it's done properly. Then get a blueslip. Then take the rms permission, the repairers sign off and all recipes to the rms to get it registered again.
However there is still a small loop hole. The wovr will ignore most 15 year old or older cars and not record them as write offs. So that may or maynot happen

I was aware about the salvage value. But wasn't aware of the specifics regarding the RMS. Thanks heaps for the info - I'll look further into it.

I love this car, so will definitely be trying everything to get it back on the road, unless the cost is exorbitant.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
