If its a hit and run its a legal matter I assume? I would have demanded police visit the woman to assess the evidence. They are so lazy most of the time the would probably say no but I would have pushed it hard

You're probably right but I've seen quite a few stories of the gt4 wheel cracking shortly after powder coating. Not worth the risk, just get them painted

Don't get gt4 wheels powder coated, they don't like heat treatment. Painting seems to be ok

Yeah I guess so, but even at that value, the category must devalue it somewhat so it should be visable somewhere. Oh well, makes things easier in this instance Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Fine on a car of value but my mums car is worth about 750 quid and let's be honest, who's going to hpi a similar car of similar value. Does feel like the system is leaving itself open to abuse Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

So not even a change to the logbook? Blimey, how would a potential buyer of a write off know what they're getting into? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Oh ok, more good info. I'm not sure what cat they have classed it so I'll find out. Is the Vic like an mot or is it just turn up, give them cash and get a certificate? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

That's good to know. I figured there wasn't much to it and have already told mum to ask the insurers for instruction, just wasn't sure about this Vic thing Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

My mums car was recently written off due to someone driving into the back of it. It's just the tailgate that is damaged. It's an 02 Picasso so the insurers have offered her next to nothing for it. I'm quite sure I can get a boot quite cheap and pop it on and the car will be back to normal. However is there anything further to do? I have read about a vic check but see differing messages about how this is only needed if the car is to be sold on. If i repair the thing, it will just be used until it is scrapped so there is no issue of re-sale. Any experience out there? Cheers

She's after something, it's a trap Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

That's great news. Sadly it's not the first cracked Rota story on here in recent months. A bit worrying...

I do like the Hawkeye sti I must say but remember horror stories of the 2.5 not being as strong as the previous smaller engine Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Hawkeye is a 2.5 though isn't it? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

I've seen them!!!!! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Wow, good power figures

And this mate New Quaife ATB LSD & Whiteline Diff bush in December 2016

Anyone?

Has anyone owned a bug eye STI? I was wondering how my HR would fair against one from say 70mph onwards if the two went side by side? any experience? Stock for stock...

If anyone has upgrade their badges and has the old ones lying around I'd be happy to buy them from you. Please let me know. Ta Jamie

Block off the waste gate (dump valve, BOV or whatever else you want to call it) and you'll get flutter. It's basically boost washing back into the turbo and the blades chopping it up and stalling.can sound good but long term will cause damage - don't believe anyone who tells you it won't.

Cracking! Well done mate, you must be chuffed Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

What exactly is the iron man mod? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

No idea about oil but there is a good reason to use super unleaded. Can't remember the exact specifics but it's something to do with the engine higher in the rev range and potential damage that can be done using fuel with a low Ron. Someone will be along soon to explain no doubt but I've only use used super in mine and wouldn't use normal fuel
