I think theres a fair few trust-fund kids getting into it
you can race for cash if you know the right people. of course, you
a ) have to be an idiot
b ) have a stupidly fast car to be so confident
c ) have a full license to lose or not have a license at all...
oh and got the front end checked out at the smash repairer...
i need to get a nose cut and theyre going to replace my front from the radiator forward.
Thats good then, nothing majorly affecting the chassis then
From the radiator forward wouldn't be all that hard would it? Just removing the wrecked stuff and bolting on new parts? No welding?
My sisters VL Calais was done from the firewall to the front:eek:

nah theres welding, they have to cut the old stuff off and weld the new lot on. im getting rid of my old panels today hopefully so ill take some pics of the stripped front end.
[QUOTE=Blue Supra]there will be no weight reduction.
the car is to be daily driven as as such i would like to keep my creature comforts:D
i would NEVER remove impact beams or anything remotely as silly, as charged has shown thats how you do weight reduction (my datto looks extremely similar at the moment) but the car is as i said to be driven daily so i want it to look tough, have the power to back it up and still be comfortable, not overly noisy or harsh riding.
Id never race it for more then $20 in between mates (ive done it once or twice and lost both times... stupid skylines... ) it gets out of hand and can cost you more then then your money.
kingofthering, i respect your right to opinion but seriously, you dont know jack about imports do you?
yes i promise not the try tackle the cruiser again even though i won the fight, it just cost me a lot more :p[/QUOTE]
Wreckedexotics.com has an area devoted to non-exotic cars.
Maybe if the car was actually wrecked...
wait.. as in you want me to put my pics of my car smashed on wrecked exotics? or the nice pic i put up?
Come on bluey you ding my ride hows it going now?.
I'm new here, and I don't want to make waves, but dude, you need to have insurance. Its crazy to dream up ideas to make your car better, and then not even insure it to protect it and much less to disregard everyone else on the road. I don't know what country you live in, I'm in the US and we are self insured. If there is an accident, there is a lossand someone is at fault. If the persona at fault has no insurance (which many people have insurance to cover), they have tremendous exposure, legally, to pay for the damage they caused. Forget the Nissan, you're lucky no one was seriously injured or killed.
Hes got third party insurance. Everyone here does. As hes already said, its an arm and a leg to get insurance because of how turbo cars and drivers are stereotyped
Cool, sorry, I didn't read all the posts.

The insurer's risk-assessment seems to have been pretty accurate in hindsight :(
