I saw the silver and was like "NOOO MY CAR"..

Did the airbags go?

Glad to see you're ok and that you're thinking of the important things, like tarmac rally.

Sorry to hear and glad you're ok.

Looking at the pics, you definetely don't want the car back on the road. Chassis rails would be bent like banana's.

I'll take your 2zz-ge though :P Joking

The airbags went off perfectly.

It was really weird, drop clutch and bam airbags in my face! They smell really funny and there was white smoke puffing out of them.

Thanks to all for the kind remarks :)

The powder is corn powder I think ? I can't remember why it's there, I think it's so the plastic of the bag doesn't stick together to assist in opening, something like that.

Yeah I always laugh at and play with airbags :D :lol: :D The non-inflatable type that is.

If it's going to be going back on the road, make sure you have a really good inspection of what chassis/body structure damage is there, it may come back together ok, but you may end up with some serious issues down the track depending on what the damage is.

In the Golf they came out and it looked like there was smoke coming (black powder stuff) out. I was out of it too and thought AHHHH its on fire but just sat there. :huh:

The airbags and the seatbelt pretensioner are mighty pricey to replace and so it was made a write off. (5k + just for those bits)

But hey saved they saved my ***** big time :D

I had an accident,

It was dark...

I was turning right onto a 100km/h single lane road, I looked right and saw a car indicating to turn off to the same road i was on, then looked left and saw there was a fair gap till the next car, looked right again and the car indicating was slowing up and there was a huge gap till the next car (that i could see), looked right again, nice gap, good to go...

I dropped the cluth with a fair stab at the throttle and whack. It turned out there was a car tailgating the one turning off, and she swerved around the car turning and took the front end of my car off. she sent my car sideways and ended up on the wrong side of the road. all other cars stopped in time and no-one was hurt.

The insurance company is calling it a write off, but the engine still starts and the wheels and suspension seem untouched. I guess there will prob be soem chassis damage to some extent.

Im going to sort out something were i get to keep the wreck and rebuild it into a tarmac rally car, gutting the interior and making it really hard edged.

Hopefully out this bad situation something good arises :)

see my garage for better pics

aah crap. that looks bad. but at least u're ok.

stripping it down and turning it into a tarmac rally car sounds very good. might have been a blessing in disguise. cheer up!

NOOO!!! You don't know me mate BUT I LOVED THIS CAR!!!

So sorry to see it and hear it.

FECKING STUPID PEOPLE!!! I'M SICK OF IT!!! THERE'S A THING CALLED ROADCRAFT (i.e: no tailgating etc)!!!

So...to the girl who hit him, "PRACTICE SOME **** ROADCRAFT! YOU KNOW?! THE THING YOU APPARENTLY LEARNT WHEN YOU GOT YOUR LICENSE!!!"

Sorry mate, but that really ****s me off what happened to you. Take it easy lol.

So can I ask...

Is the insurance Co going to write it off, pay you out for the insured sum and then you're going to buy the car back from the Insurance Co as a wreck ?

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
