Airbags worked well enough to clock me in the chin ;p Seatbelts did their job admirably. I was glad I was in a Stagea when I had my accident, cos otherwise who knows how farked I'd be.

No parts, insurance asked for too much to buy back the wreck

i dunno the answer to that but my last car i smashed up and wrote off was a vl turbo and i bought it back for $400 from the insurance company after getting a payout and i sold off over 8K in parts, so i actually made heaps on that little effort hehe

what they askin for the stagea now then? surely the parts would equal over 5K EASY. upto around 10k worth even with all the rare bits and pieces :D

can someone please explain to me how the insurance company can claim they own your car after an accedent? they're paying out on a policy not buying your car

If you look in your policy (they all have it) you'll see that if they declare it a write off they then own it. They then recover money from selling it to someone...

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
