This motor will get you in the

that part of the road should be back open in the morning ?
much damage to the other ute that was in front of you ?

yeah was pretty bad.
nah the ute in front of me seems to be ok. im guessing it was the stock intake that saved him

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » February 12th, 2011, 5:08 pm

yeah pretty pissed off man.

well i got a call yesturday and the ute will be getting towed to altona to a racv assesment center ( for flood damaged cars only)

fingers crossed it all get given the ok and i can start working on it again

Post by **EFFalcon** » February 12th, 2011, 5:43 pm

if they repair it, will they fix it back to how you had it? or would they just put a stocker in?
would depend what was listed on the policy i assume?
and if its a rebuild or replacement

Mr_4.0 · Post by **Mr_4.0** » February 12th, 2011, 8:31 pm

If they replace motor it will only be what's listed on policy. I honestly feel for ya on this one.

SLY5LT · Post by **SLY5LT** » February 12th, 2011, 8:33 pm

did you put all the stock engine cover, air intake, spring's etc back on it ?
as john said, if it's insured as a "stock" car....
any little thing they can pick to get out of covering it they'll tick.

Post by **EFFalcon** » February 12th, 2011, 8:37 pm

i wouldn't be worried about them seeing modified stuff and denying the claim.

i'm just thinking of the cash he's just spent getting the cam etc done.

all down the drain if they replace the motor with a stocker

xr6berto · Post by **xr6berto** » February 13th, 2011, 1:23 am

still it would be better than them not replacing the motor at all, and run an even bigger loss.

justa6 · Post by **justa6** » February 13th, 2011, 7:35 am

it would be good if they assessed the car, come to the conclushion that it would cost x amount to fix and just gave you the money. i know it mean's you would have to do the work but that's the way i would want it. might be worth asking.

yeah its what is listed on policy as its listed as a stocker ( due to cam and emissions etc etc)

not sure if it will be rebuilt or what at this stage. if racv will only pay for a stock rebuild i will throw in a few dollars to get my cam put back in while new motor is being built

yeah cheers man. lets just hope it is covered.

ive got all the stock bits in the back of the ute. springs isnt an issue as it still looks stock, just level in the back really.

yep coverage on anything is better than nothing

well i dont think they will as they wont know the real damage till the motor is apart. and then if they find more shit wrong then it gets difficult with insurace etc etc
and i dont have enough time to do the work myself. if it goes through insurance id rather them to do the work. then if something goes wrong its not my problem lol. but ill help them on it after hours when i can.

Post by **EFFalcon** » February 13th, 2011, 9:08 pm

yeah, i guess worst case assuming its covered, you end up with a fresh motor.

yer thats it mate. im guessing the whole motor will have to be stripped, cleaned, dipped, crack tested etc etc

Sounds really good. On a similar note, had a customer today purchase a nitrous & purge kit ONLY so he could purge through a Chev badge on his VT

Yep, would be really awesome! Oh, and his VT LS1 with a catback exhaust, auto & 3.07 gears is an absolute animal - so fast it doesn't actually need the nitrous at all!

Any word from insurance yet?

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » February 14th, 2011, 10:15 pm

car was spose to be towed to assesment center today and it didnt happen. called them and they say 2moro it will happen now.
but i know i guy who works at racv and hes saying most the cars are getting written off as it is alot easier than repairing them

Parfrey · Post by **Parfrey** » February 14th, 2011, 11:48 pm

Yeah turns out the guy from my work (tool) car is covered and he found out today its written off! Aparently the water 'got into the computer and abs' so its fucked.. lol.

Hope yours goes ok.. if not, buy it back for **** all??

NUT347 · Post by **NUT347** » February 15th, 2011, 6:46 am

Yeah if they write it off just buy it back.

Still a dog act though.

someLS1 · Post by **someLS1** » February 15th, 2011, 7:32 am

It wouldnt be cheap to buy back thats for sure... a stat write off gxp went for 18k a few weeks back. Also the hassle and pain of VIV... if its a write off take your money and run, and buy a VZ maloo... same engine less weight = faster times at the track

Post by **EFFalcon** » February 15th, 2011, 7:37 am

take the money and buy an EB XR, slam it, big wheels etc.
