Nice bud

Good news, and I'm sure it's nice to have resolution.

Questions about this process:
-Do they factor in aftermarket stuff you have on the car?
-Do they let you remove aftermarket parts?

Yes and yes

The adjuster asked me for receipts for my parts. I did not have those, but I was able to contact Z1 and ModBargains to give me their old invoices. I estimated a few things from cash sales and DIY's.

I have the option, even right now, to go and recover pieces from the vehicle.

That said, if they're factoring in your oil cooler, for example, into the payout, I don't know if they'll let you go into the body shop with a few wrenches and pull it back off the vehicle. I don't know whether they will or will not.

It is, but I'd rather have my car back :roflpuke2:

Probably gonna have this blown up and framed:

Sniff...

Get as much as they'll let you take Al!

haha, indeed

She was my baby.

But time to get my check, pay off the subie, and start plotting for the future, which probably involves 8 burbling cylinders and 7 liters.

I already got my shift knob and a bunch of other things out. I'll probably leave the rest as it is.

I'll eventually start selling or giving away some of the remaining good parts.

I smell the C7

perhaps, or perhaps an older Z06

Nice! Is that for the car itself or with mods?

Car with mods. I included the wheels, oil cooler, the leather seats, the intakes, and the brake kit. Although it was a raffle, Z1 was able to provide me an exact invoice for the kit. While it was a prize, it had a cash value.

Assuming they subtract out the price of a mod if you remove it otherwise, you could clean up ;)

lol, well not really. The brakes and wheels would be very hard to sell. 3 wheels, 3 rotors, 3 calipers... Know anyone with a trike?

The oil cooler MAY be functional, or maybe not, and I don't know about the lines or the way it mounts. Didn't look good.

I meant things like the head unit, intake, exhaust

stock radio, stock exhaust, intakes were bent. lol Believe me, I looked at the intakes

Bummer. Definitely take a souvenir. I kept one of the shattered side blinker emblems when the deer hit me.

got one... shift knob :D

Did you have the OEM knob? If so, how the **** did you get it off

no, twm a6 leopard

Ah.

Dude, getting the stock shift knob off the vehicle was a B*tch

I had to use a strap wrench, and it crushed the stock knob. I didn't even want to replace it. I was just trying to replace the stock black leather with my own wine leather. But when that happened, I decided to go aftermarket.

I tore both of mine in half (like through the aluminum thread). Used a pipe wrench to grib the knob. Wrapped the shifter in a towel and had a buddy hold it steady with another pipe wrench to keep from torquing the gearbox.

Edit: Actually come to think of it, we managed to get it off the 2nd Z without tearing it in half but we still ripped the leather up pretty badly.

I just got my new Kenwood Excelon CD player in my Honda S2000, its tight as hell.

I call dibs... hey congrats man, see how a bad turned into a good?

i would go for rear rotors and calipers... :)

so is anyone coming out to Columbia on Sat?

only asking because there's a small NGC Lunch Meet at Matchbox (pizza joint) in Rockville at 1

I think I'll go this week. Headlight mod rescheduled for next thurs.

You should come on the Troll Cruise Khoi

:stirthepot:

I'm iffy on the columbia meet, and a nope on the cruise. I want to get my summer wheels back on the car and I really need to clean my air filters but more or less dreading ripping the front fascia off again. yeah I know its not hard, just time would be a lot easier with a second set of hands.

Cruise?

hahah I'll save skyline cruise for another event

yeah I missed that post too. I usually just go to my usercp and just look at new posts in threads i've subscribed to so I sometimes miss new stuff in the mid-a section. Seems like there should be a way to just subscribe to mid -a branch to be notified of new posts.

Yeah, it's always better to have two people to lift it off after the clips are popped. Likewise with putting it back on. Although I managed just fine back when I installed my oil cooler block off plate.

Love the avatar Al! Best game ever.

Yeah. Unless you want to scrape the nose on the ground.

You can do it alone by laying a ton of towels down in front of it but I wouldn't recommend it.

That's exactly what I do.

Edit: Gainesville? Lol no thanks. It would take me over an hour just to get to the cruise start location and over 3 hrs to get home.

I always loosen both sides as much as possible, as in pop everything out near under the headlights without having them hang on the ground, then pull from the middle
