thank you. yes im on the owners club just not very often now.
the learner drive pulled out of a give way turning right(towards me) and stalled
. i locked all 4 wheels and hit her sideways in the passenger side rear quater. it spun me 180 degree's up a kurb which ripped the wheel off and in to a wall.
. i will admit i was speedin alittle but was not expectin her to stall. it turned out she only had a pervisonal licence with No passenger.
i smashed the seats with my shoulder mate, i did not have a belt on and ended up on the passenger side with the impact and bent them on the way
they wear mint seats. i love BRIDE seats
i loved my 200 and with a shimmed diff i had it sideways every wear i went (if safe ) lol. miss the drift track days
but it has changed the way i drive. i was lucky to walk away from this relitively unhurt. i am always thinkin what if?

well took the car to dmc on saturday and left the car with him. he has striped the head and number 1 and 2 pistons are damaged 
the car was running fine before head gasket and i hadjust had it set up so all i can think is the fucking flid that had it before me, he was running it at 20 psi ish and had the fuel system back to front
well i simply cant afford to rebuilt this close to x mas so i told him just to do the head gasket and mounts. when i went to pick the car up today at 6pm it was still on the stands. i turns out some one has used the wrong sized bolts on the thermostate housing and treaded the fucking block
it infuryates me why these type of people even buy cars
an engine rebuild was the last thing i wanted to do as it's a grand i could put towards a cossie

all your water pump housing bolts have been drilled and re tapped now mate and its running sweet as a nut, just got your mounts to do and a quick test drive and all should be well. you need to find a radiator mate as once its up to temp that one could go pop, not worth the risk IMHO, number one and two pistons are badly marked from det but it does not seem to be affecting the running will see on the test drive in the morn.
