insurance renewal :rolleyes:

depends really... one common reason they dont wana accept is cause the insured value would be way low.... usually if they say its alright, they wana load u kao kao or get you to insure at a much higher value

Rear ended by a 7 series ...

Insurance paid for the repairs ...

When car came back, rear right wheel when jacked up is higher than the other side

The wheel tilts inwards. Not driveable. Caused by this ...

Spent the last few months parked idly while I tried unsuccessfully to find it a new body. In the end took a chance and had it repaired by another shop. Now feels okay but I still have some engine work to do before I test it proper

dayummm, i'm sorry that your car had to go through that. i went through a similar experience, my late Nissan Sunny was parked outside my house when it got rear ended by a Sylphy on a Monday morning. the whole trunk was crumbled and it went through a lengthy insurance claim process. worse, when i took back the car from the workshop after couple of months, it was plagued with rust and water leakage during rain even though it seemed "repaired". one of those worst feelings.

few months later, the car was stolen and was never seen again :rolleyes:

damn thieves...the car already in the worst. Sometimes i duno whats in their mind,

 

[drummydrew]

exactly! to them its a mobile spare part replacement or "big tea rice" tool 2

In the months following the claim when I had an unusable car, I was kinda hoping someone will steal it and I will be rid of this headache. Good thing that didnt happen.

After finally getting it repaired, I am reminded why I liked this car so much :proud:

at one point during the claim process i actually suggested to my parents to just write it off as the repair cost clearly exceeded the car's value by folds. however when it was repaired and taken home, i was somehow glad due to sentiments - it's my family's first car and my first ride for years upon legal driving age. then again, this was short-lived :frown: treasure that gold you spent effort in!

before i lari too far from topic, TS i believe opting for the evo 1/2/3 path would be more feasible. unless you have a BLM, then i heard you can work the newer evos magic on it

Can still renew. After 20 years, if still on 1st party insurance , minimum insured amount is RM10k. If not 3rd party, they still cover....

How do I call in peterj into this thread? He is one of the few people who managed to get an Evo 4 engine into his Wira.

I heard in some places, even stock Wira can get stolen. Happened before in Ipoh and Kampar area. I park my car inside my house in Ipoh.

Parakey : oh dammmmnnnnnn... if you ever decide to scrap the car I know some people who'd want your Ftuned suspension, seats and steering!

The last time it got stolen, it was in a gated community with guardhouses at 2 entrances to the taman. That didn't seem to bother the thiefs.

Good thing is those people aren't pros. They jammed a screwdriver into the ignition key to start the car. They might have started the car but in doing so, they also jammed the starter. They drove off with the starter running. Didnt get far. So they abandoned the car.

Hard to say. You know that meat vs poison phrase? If got TT, you can test drive to determine if you like it
