to repair, OR not to repair ..

[45SET]

no.... im being serious....


lol

[noodleman]

should've atleast go with any insurance....ie nrma...you say you want to join their insurance....then they give you 3 weeks to pay....adn with in that 3 weeks if you have an accident....you just pay your premium and everything is taken care off

if you got pics, post them up...
i've had a pretty bad accident in my dc5 too and it cost $27k to repair...insurance job tho...and after it was fixed it was awsome..everything brand new

the car drives like before and maybe even better because of the new parts (ie engine mounts)

alternatively, i'm offering $13k starting bid on the wreck.

Take it to a good panel shop with a chassis aligner machine.

[air23box]

what I can suggest....get a quote and pay for the insurance...place a claim...tell them you just got an accident.....try to contact the other party...ge them to help you with the date of accident....then get everything back on track...if the chasis is ok.....get it fix and time for some sexy bodykits.....hope everything goes fine....if you need a hand...let us know....I am in melbourne as well....cheers...

Bad Accident.

Hope everything goes well my friend, I know how it feels, been through this once but lucky insurance covered everything.

One lesson, never drive a car without insurance to avoid event like this.

[DJ RSXS]

holy shit you guys pay 40-50k for an rsx-s over there

[tofuR]

its aud my friend =P
but regardless we pay more than you guys ..

also .. go and insure the car ..

and then leave it for a week .. then claim .. =p

And then get put in jail for insurance fraud

[scheung]

Sounds dodgy......about getting insurance then claiming it later.

You will have alot of sleepless night.....wondering what if's and all of that..

Exactly.

Anyway... if the repairs are of good quality using new OEM parts (and the chassis isn't significantly bent) then you should be fine.

The smash repairer I use said to me once before that in many cases they acheive chassis alignment measurements closer to perfect spec than the factory did.

The chassis alignment machine is amazing.

The chassis alignment machine is amazing.

if the mechanic has a laser one. $$$$$$$

and for the thread started, check out the chassis and get a jdm half cut then sell what ever u can to recover some cost. later on, turn it into a track car. meanwhile, join the groupbuy for oil coolers. Get it cheap while u can.

Symes has a laser one. Thread starter, look them up on http://www.whitepages.com.au
