  1. sent you the pics mate, t cut might just work with enough elbow grease (and spare parts)
  2. Only just caught up with your 'new rear' thread Matt..... Unlucky mate, glad you escaped ok tho'....... any word on the insurance yet...? still not heard mate, gonna ring them tomorrow about it. new thread gone up with possible new idea though
  3. well, as some of you may have read i had a little accident a few weeks ago and although i havent heard for sure yet, its probably an insurance write off. i want her back... i miss her soo much. i dont even want the insurance money to buy another zed, i want mine back. i am seriously considering telling the insurance company to cancel the claim and foot the repair bill myself as i know people who can do the work for better prices than the insurers garage quoted and i know i can source the parts i need for better prices than they will get them for too. if i do this i will keep my no claims, have my car back and be happy. even if i am out of pocket, i was planning on keeping her till she aint worth much anyway, so why not i ask.
  4. i could be very tempted dene will see what happens with mine first though.
  5. good write up of what looked to be a cracking holiday sure i remember the delta integrale looking different to that though, maybe i am mistaken
  6. strange one... MadMarky, can you send that on to the lad saying that lambo doors comment they are gull wing doors, not lambo doors
  7. nice to see you decided on a name think you can take me off any lists i was on. cheers though
  8. he's pretty good like what jobs could that give him though?
  9. crackin vid mate, those monster girls are tremendous, unlike the ones at the drift thing i went to a couple of months back over here. man i cant wait to come to australia!
  10. what size are they out of interest? 18" they are off of the Infiniti G35/Skyline 350GT
  11. i took out the gap insurance so that will cover the difference if they only give me what its worth in japan. if this car is written off i will prob buy it bak from the insurers and break it down, therefore, the wheels my end up for sale. (they need a good refurb though)
  12. all mods were declared but i took them off anyway in case i never see the car again didnt go to a strip club, did get insanely pi**ed and did not go to college, only just got out of bed now. some daylight photos, none of the underneath but it doesnt look good...
  13. was on, pretty much always is. especially when wet. thats why i cant understand why it went. well i have rang the insurance and they will be sending someone out in the next day or so, prob is, i only get courtesy car when they come to get my car and i only need a car 2 days a week (college) which are a wednesday and thursday - figures!
  14. might be in touch about this fairly soon, shame you are so far away though.
  15. pretty gutted indeed mate. the more i think about it the less i think i will be able to repair her. will have to see if theres any broken bones when i get her clothes off tomorrow.
  16. k1 is yours if the car goes neil. ok, so rundown, came of the roundabout, was wet so straightened up before putting my foot down, changed up at about 5k, slight left bend, accelretaing, didnt have foot planted but wasnt dawdling along then the back end went out, tried to hold it, hit the curb on the left and started spinning the other way, then somehow held it enough to miss a mini coming the other way, went behind that and in front of something behind it and bounced up onto the curb where the arse end hit a road sign an stopped me. dunno how i managed to miss the 2 cars coming the other way. my mate in the car has no idea either. just bloody glad i did.
  17. just not my night indeed. and just to be clear, i was not racing a kia, husky is talking sh1t as usual tyres are new, only a few hundred miles on them, falken 452s on the rears as for roads being greasier, learned that the hard way shed car, yes, and to think i would have had one last week if my insurance had gotten back to me with a quote a bit quicker insurance will prob wanna right it off, which might be a decent option, took gap insurance so will get the 12 i paid for it. might be able to get it sorted without insurance though will see what the damage is tomorrow in the light
  18. true story stayin on the road myself was an instant second to missing them, havin been victim of a head on collision myself i did everythin i could to miss them. speaking of plate, that fell off on the way home, damn it! i recommend taking it v easy in the wet, like i say i have driven that road a million times before in all conditions but tonight just wasnt my night. Well said Wayne. can i just say, i wasnt arsing about.
  19. wasnt racing anyone and yes, in hindsight, i shouldve have said anything, was drunk and obviously jinxed myself.
  20. dibs on the hatch and possibly suspension. will let you know for sure when i have had the car looked at
  21. somehow the back end kicked out and i couldnt hold it, somehow managed to spin between 2 oncoming cars (lucky) then bounced up onto the path on the wrong side of the road where i was stopped by a road sign, rear end is fracked! bumper and hatch back left wheel pointing inwards too. will have a look tomorrow at what major damage there is and probably ring the insurance company. all i can say is fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
  22. i really need to get my eyes tested like. i dont get blurry vision or anything but i get headaches and my eyes hurt on bright days. the sunglasses prevent this but only if i were them whenever it is bright. which makes me look like a tit on bright yet rainy days.
