rob wild Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 i think ro has a fairly large turbo go for something along the lines of a bl61 personally if i was going small i would go with a phr stage 1 kit with the tubular manifold awesome kit!!!! I really do like my PHR 1. Totally agree Ro's car is awesome on boost and a really really good drivers car! I think Matt's words were "i'm S**T it" whilst on the test drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Nice project Matt, but are you not worried about the Cat C status? What about your insurance and future resale? It kills resale value as proved by LeeT's car (and that was only Cat D), his was about £5k below true value due to being written off.

It's all well and good if Matt wants to keep his car forever, but thats unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Not bothered about CatC, the frames perfect, if someone cant see that if i ever decide to sell it then they wouldnt deserve the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 dont think about selling it and the lucky bum who'll get it dirt cheap, 98 aero!! No one would ever get it dirt cheap, if it was for sale, id prefer to have to keep it than let someone have a perfect condition car for cheap because the perfect chassis came with a label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr keef Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Nice project there mate..but have to agree with the cat c posts,99.9% of people no matter how well it looks and goes and what bits were used will walk away, if you ever decide to sell it in the future.

Pixelfill Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Make sure you document everything about the car Matt. You need some pictures of the before, the repair to the shell and pictures throughout. That way you will at least be able to allay some fears if you decide to sell.

Mike yeah that, i'd even try and get some pics of the original damage sustained by the aerotop. On the subject of Cat C's etc what would have been the outcome (recorded history wise) if this aerotop had been deemed economically repairable by the insurance company at the time and had been returned repaired to its then owner?

It's a legal requirment to declare the status to the insurance company and from my experience most insurance companies will not insure a cars that are declared write offs. I don't know if this has changed in the last few years, however every insurnace document I've seen has a line on it somewhere in the T&C's that "the vehicle has not been declared an insurance write off" Matt, I don't agree with your reasoning, having Cat C will always impact resale value. I'd also recommend you check with your insurer before starting this project, you don't want to find out you can't get insurance for it.

Tones Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Its all relevant at the end of the day, if money really isnt an issue for you then fook yeah go for it!!On the other hand if you are tight enough on the money and u think u might have to sell it quickly sometime in the near future then dont go for it...How many 98 6speed aerotops are there?? It will be an extremely rare car and still worth decent money even if it was a Cat C... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tones Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Ah i know yeah, very easy to get carried away with projects too.. Matt really needs to sit down and think long and hard about it before committing (or is that too late)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
