Yeh re-registering with coils is abit of a issue, but renewing the licence for it is perfectly fine.
If u think about it saving another $100/$200 isn't much compared to $500, especially if you don't want to compromise the ride quality.

s13 Gayyyy
Mountain goats be very happy to see jap cars too!

Got some sad news everyone...
Today i got home to notice oil all over the driveway, after closer inspection its obvious my gearbox has been broken as half of it has shattered off and the rest of the housing is cracked. Im going to lodge a claim to insurance about it, but its likely from the damage that it will be written off.

Sadly, this could be the end for her...

Depressing too cause i still have loads of parts that are yet to arrive.

[cliftronix]

Don't write it off yet, there are some vr6 gearbox's floating around for less than $500, which is a lot less than any excess you would have to pay.

[AKA VR6]

The cheapest ive found so far for a used was about $850. And with all the labour involved in replacing it i would probably just get someone to install it for me. Hopefully excess will only be $650, but we will just see how we go. Im gonna spend some time looking into it tomorrow.

I feel for you man, but is insurance going to cover you for damage like that? I was always under the impression that it was just there for an accident on the road. Although I've never had to make a claim so my knowledge of insurance workings isn't fantastic.

Depends on how the gearbox shattered... If it was mechanically related, I doubt the insurance company will cough up. But if you could say, prove it was due to hitting a pothole on the road then you might have a chance.

If insurance covered such things every car I've ever owned would have lived on limiter and flat shifted every gear, every time.

I know for a fact you can claim insurance if you put wrong fuel in. I think pretty much anything that's an "accident". Obviously they'll be more suss on an older car but

I'd jump in an s13 if it has a turbo in it!

If you like this mk3 as much as you say you do though then just fix it? Pretty simple lol

Good news, after some repairs, a lot of money, and some bad electrical problems, i should have her back by Wednesday afternoon. While it was getting repaired i purchased some lights of Sam and theyre getting installed Wednesday too. I have loads of parts coming this week so hopefully ill get them on then upload some pictures seeing i havent showed you guys a lot recently.

Got her back today and this is how she sits. The headlights look mint at night and i love the new front lip.



Front apron/grille repainted too and it looks stunning.

So happy with how it looks and this is how its gonna stay for a bit. Really enjoying driving it, lots of fun. Not going to lower it til i have the money to go all out with new shocks and all.
