I noticed on the airbag shot that the windscreen on the passenger side was cracked, im guessing from the dash flap....

Sorry to hear about it, i guess it shows how safe the cars are.....What speed do you think she hit you at??? What sort of car was it that hit you??

mmm dash flap probably causes windscreen to break, seeing how dash flap is made of metal! but i'm oretty sure that the flap is designed to crack the windscreen, so that the windscreen wont shatter and remove all vision of the driver.

Oh man. Hope the frame alright. The best of all, no body hurt. Be careful HOLDEN. Normally, they drive like a KING on the road. Plz update the result of insurance write off.

Did the police come. The way I read it are you in the wrong (failing to give right of way) despite her tailgating.

Did you get get booked. Looks like your insurance coy will have to pay for her car as well.

Good to see no one was hurt just the same.

Money and cars are just things and its easy to replace things not so you life or health.

Glad your OK

grrrr tailgaiters

So its not just speed that is dangerous

DAMM thats nastay !!!! But it's not really the tailgaters fault now is it ?!

Dude, glad you are ok, but that could have been VERY BAD NEWS FOR YOU seeing that the hit, I am assuming is on the driver's side .

Im still sorting out the insurance co. so im not sure what the go is. But im not letting the car go thats for sure!! may have a struggle? <_<

She hit me from the right hand side at at least 100km/h.

She was driving a VX commie wagon, and the damage to her car was minimal. Her airbag didnt even go off!! the front left hand lights on her car were broken and there was only slight (and i mean slight) panel damage. This has givin me alot of hope for the chassis on my car. I dont think its gunna be that bad ;) . It seems to be the crumple zone just got ripped off.

the damage was literally 5mm from the front of the engine. :)

Damn!!!

its all fixable ^^

airbags you can get from a wrecked for 1400 a set, front panels probably 100 bux each max.

headlights will be your biggest problems, untensioned seatbelts maybe another problem, shifts in your front chassis around the suspension area prob your biggest fear. but i dont think it would cost you more then 4000 to put it back on the road (that includes paint). So if you get a new one from your insurance, see if you can keep the old one and rebuild it and sell it CHA CHING!!!! :lol: either way its going to get auctioned off too a wrecker for nearly nothing.

wreckers are your friends :rolleyes:

mate ralyrt do you even work in this field? do you even know your stuff?

GO TO A WRECKER AND LOOK IT UP, no sh!t it would be 7-8000 for new parts price.

i see you also dont judge the possibilities of buying damaged used cars from auctions look at the state of that car how much damage? my guess is it will sell for 10k, now you strip that smashed car up and you sell it piece by piece and now i ask... did you buy it close to nothing? how do you reckon wreckers earn a living, even if they buy that car for 10k they earn double it back by selling it in separated parts. Mate think before you speak.

my wrecker says i can get a set of airbags in for 1400 in melbourne. but thats a secret ^^ (*sorry tricks of the trade*)

Once I crashed a Celica to a kerb... no panel damage (surprisingly)

the suspension, crossmember, steering rack, tyres and rims x2.. wishbone x1

they cost me $8000 to fix it

but I think they robbed me for sure...

anyway it happened long time ago... hee hee

If ur insurance company is going to replace it new for old they'll have to make a quick decision!

Not too many Sportivo's left I imagine, possibly none.

Carsales shows one in stock in South Australia.

      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.
