PearlBlueGT Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Have estimator come out to your house and check it out, he'll give you estimate (which of course is just an estimate) once they start tearing car apart they might find additional parts/labor so estimate will be more after actual tear down.

MasAyinde Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Can this title be edited to say that the symmetrical AWD probably saved OP from having a much worse accident, and it was his own stupidity that caused the accident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1454 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Words of wisdom op, make sure that battery is still sealed. Leaky, damaged battery can do alot of damage. I've seen two cars that were in the process of being repaired until they realized the damage from the acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
executor485 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It was probably soap on the intercooler that made his AWD fail and caused him to wreck. I've heard that leads to numerous problems.

Max Capacity Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 mine too.. we should file a class action lawsuit against all awd cars No, he should sue the cable manufacture and the company that installed the it. Because if the cable wasn't there, this damge would not have happened. So obviously, it's all there fault. I'm also sure the trucking company that shipped the cable from the manufacture to the Power company is also at fault. Hey may he could go after the company that made that truck too. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

executor485 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If only he could have pushed it to 88mph, he might have been able to go back and prevent the AWD from failing. If I pass you on the right, I'm flipping you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnoon Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Listen guys, I already apologized for my thread title being out of line, I was just a little PO'd about my car :/. I just want to know if my car looks totaled or not, that's all I'm asking. I know that the accident was the fault of driver error, lifting my foot off the gas in panic. Thank you all who responded with helpful posts. Very much appreciated. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say if those no sub frame damage your good. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

rock2534 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The insurance must put you in the same position you were in before the loss. They cannot replace your car with worse parts then what you had before....that would be illegal and you could make a complaint with the dept of insurance. I'm an auto insurance adjuster. Look up the word Indemnity Just curious, so you are saying that even though the driver has not informed the insurance company to add the aftermarket parts to the policy, they insurer will still cover those parts and compensate higher? I am not in the insurance biz, but find that hard to believe. Also, I see your other post you mention that it could devalue the car in their eyes, so that would be their way around it also. Like I said, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riptide Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Am I misunderstanding the situation here? Help me out. Lift off oversteer happens when you let off the throttle and then the car gets unsettled. This is typically in a turn. What about when the rear end comes unsettled and you are already in the throttle when it happens? Due mainly to crap tires (AFAICT) my car has fishtailed on me before when I accelerated from an intersection. Thus far, I have let off the throttle, stayed out of the brake, and just counter steered back into a straight line. Then back into throttle again. Am I making a mistake here?

If you have traction and the back end is sliding out, then you are probably going too fast for conditions and/or tires and getting your "drift" on.
