nice one jamie,i had my own scare in the past that made me think twice!

lo not bought it yet arch,may sell or split power to weight wins im afraid mate aye fires a dangerous thing mate,just got to keep moving forwards

if the deal goes through then yes i'll be taking the only 2 good things to come from a newage and putting them in a classic john my car budget is only 7k so it will be tight to say the least but i'm always up for a challenge,no labour charge always makes a big difference as you know

just want to get a reliable 350-400bhp classic for the moment john and hope that the housing market picks up again,if and when it does the real fun will start again

another vote for progrip from me 01324 810111

keith michaels are now using qbe as well as highway for modified policies.mines is with qbe,was insured with highway when i wrote off my last car and took just as long to get a settlement.9 weeks i'm sure it was from time of incident to paying out but this just seems to be the case with all insurers. as far as a car like yours or peters for that matter the money spent on mods will never be seen again unfortunately,no matter what its insured for you still have to prove a worth in the real world i.e point them in the direction of a similar modded car at that time of negotiation. on a more positive note i got an offer today of 12k which is what the car was insured for so can't really complain,i should have valued it higher but wouldn't have necessarily meant i would have got any more. just need to draw a line under it and move on mon the classics lol

the crank sensor should be removed(under the alternator)and engine turned over until oil light goes out.i do this when changing oil but your local subaru dealer in general won't

lol its looking too empty at the moment,still got a few bit and pieces though from the last escapade.just a pity its newage stuff,need to have a clear out sorry stephen not for me,mkII escort with that engine/box would be good though

yea seen it paul,got another couple of possibles too. ones a v5 ra limited ane one is a v4 type r,just depends on whats about when i eventually get a pay out

always thinking ahead mate just not sure how much power i'd need in a classic to hump a 600bhp lard a$$?

unfortunately most insurance companies are not keen on fixed values nowadays due to money laundering/fraud no worries graeme,my search has narrowed slightly as i've bought a 6 speed box and 06 jdm block for the next project so now on the lookout for something with a goosed engine

too true paul,all investigations have now been done but file has been lying on an insurance managers desk now for a week waiting on the go ahead to make an offer

cheers john quick update ehh...still waiting

cheers jamie,thats been for sale for a few weeks now lol kit looks similar to l'aunsport which would have cost a few £ in japan when fitted,bonnet looks different colour too or maybe just the light? keeping a look out everywhere,couple of nice v5/6 ra's for sale at the moment too.

you've obviously had a few then

total waste of a car on the look out for a type r/ra myself at the moment and its quite sad how many of them that are being totally ruined by tasteless and ignorant people

sorry to hear that keira can't understand why they don't just sniff glue or take drugs like they should be doing at that age

jjb sports by the look of the title

no mate km have started using another company for modified cars now as well as above mentioned. contacting the fire brigade is standard procedure if cause of fire is unknown,its the time taken thats p***in me off

sorry to hear that grant,sounds like a minter of a cossie

thats the next move mate,looks like they're looking for any way out

looks like it mate,better than that is the fact that the next step was to write to the fire brigade to see if they could tell them how the fire started.apparantly they are pretty good at diagnosing the cause of car fires when they turn up after 40 mins

cheers mike,42 days after notifying insurance and still no joy took the assesor 28 days to notify insurance that he couldn't determine cause of fire

john i've got 4 235/45 17's on my rays you can have for a fair price if your stuck. jap spec yokos,lots of fun lol

hope you get some joy mate,feckers should be hung! will be at least 6 weeks before they see it as a complete loss,good luck with your payout
