+2 for bowling!

Steve

 

good seeing a few of you guys this weekend

 

Yes, always good to see most of the group in one spot.

I suppose I could handle some bowlin, somebody set it up!

 

It was nice meeting you 2, it was better when Nabil met you 2 though. :laugh:


:banana:

 

test complete

 

Hi! I am nabil.. you might not have seen me as it was a little dark in the room. Regardless, I had fun meeting you! I'll try to smile more next time. lol j/k

on topic: I'd bowl.

 

so i think my car is totalled in colorado...

mods-

vis cf hood
motegi racing 18s
piaa 520s converted to HID
moving HIDs
vf39 with all the ebay piping stuff, large ebay intercooler, and pro tune with cobb
some nice stereo stuff
enough that i want some of it back if possible/want money out of it

a plow pulled out in front of my little brother (from behind a snow bank)

tips for dealing with insurance?

I'm thinking take it to a non-affiliate shop right away and get an estimate (see if it really is totalled). If it isn't i can deal with letting some shop out there do the repairs etc.- hopefully they won't mind replacing the VIS carbon fiber hood etc..

If it is totalled what am i going to have to go through to get the parts off the car/buy it back?

will i be able to get it towed back here and remove some stuff prior to totalling it? or will i have to buy it back in order to do that?

any experience?

 

dude, that blows, hardcore. as far as the parts i know you could go out there and swap the stock parts with the aftermarket stuff you wanna keep. anything else and you'll have to ask somebody else

sorry bout the car man, hope your brother is good

 

problem is i don't have stock parts for a lot of it either (no stock turbo, no stock wheels, no stock radio etc.)

i'd really like to be able to take all the parts from this car and put them on a slightly newer stock wrx and be better off all around- but that may not be in the cards.


my brother is fine and his skis are ok (he has 10+ pairs with him which would have to be overnighted from europe if they were damaged)

any info?

i posted on a few forums looking for help including nasioc in the colorado sub-forum

 

Nikole suggested....Nikole sets it up....makes sense to me!

Steve

 

Wow, thanks!
Well how about Saturday Feb 16th! Bowling!!
That gives enough time for everybody to join in and take the day off! I will for sure have that day off as I have to do some girls hair for some high school dance that day!
I don't know what bowling ally it is but the one by valleyhigh dr. by the post office. Time? we can decide later!

p.s. Steve... The correct spelling is N-I-C-K-O-L-E !! Just so you don't keep spelling it wrong!

Nabil, I saw you! If you were referring to me! It's always fun talking with you!
Same for everybody! It was nice to see everybody and get together.

 

Totally sorry.....I thought I was spelling it right....there I go thinking again!

Won't happen again!

I haven't been there in a long time....but the one by Valley High used to have pretty good food.

Steve

 

That would be colonial lanes, iirc.

 

It depends on when you go, i know 9-close Sunday through thursday its like $9.00 all you can bowl.

 

I'm old....I go to bed at 9:30!

j/k

Steve

 

Frick! I go to bed at 9!.. Sometimes even 8:30!

 

unfortunately i think your kinda screwed with getting the aftermarket parts off of the car.... the only way you can get the parts back is if you buy the vehicle back from the insurance company.... thats how it went when my accord got wrecked few years back... after the insurance adjuster does his estimates and whatever... and if they "total" it out they'll give you there offer of what the car is worth... from there you can haggle with them if you feel your getting boned... and then you have the option to buy the vehicle back for whatever they chose....

 

well i'd be game for bowling and i know angie loves to... however i know that is a weekend i have to work... so if you guys got it set up for after 7 i'm in... or i should say me and angie are in....

 

oh yea and i just remembered... for my 3 post in a row, sometime we can roll out to stewartville and hit up the pizza ranch. i've heard it pretty damn good, but never tried it myself.
anyone ever eat there? i dunno i was out driving around lost in the work truck last week and drove by it and thought of it...
just a random thought from the guy that posts random crap

 

Pizza ranch is FTW!!! I highly recommend pizza ranch.

 

Find out how much it will cost to buy the car back. If its not to much, you should be able to part it out and make your money back(if not make a few bucks) I can tell you right now that i would be willing to buy a couple parts off ya.

 

It is on a saturday, I'm sure we could bowl until they close t3h b4r

I've been to the Pizza Ranch in Owatonna. It was alright, nothing to write home about but definately edible.

:banana:

 

my insurance company has gone on the record that anything that was on the car when i purchased it i will be "fairly" compensated for- that includes a ton of the mods

same for any recent engine/mechanical work i can provide receipts for etc. and some % of the other aftermarket parts i added.

They still may end up way short of the $ i'm looking for- but they will be working with me on those parts.

I will absolutely be considering buying the car back- however, it is in colorado. The most likely scenario would be taht i'd buy it back and basically resell it to someone out there who would then do the parting (and send me any specific parts i want). I don't know about spending hte money to truck it back here and time to part it myself- i will profit more from spending that time at work here in roch or doing custom work for someone.

 

just wanted to let anyone know that cares and are interested, wed is my bitrhday and me and the wife and some friends are gonna go out and hit up a few bars... so if anyone is interested your more then welcome to come out and watch me act a fool in public! probably going to rookies, mcmurphys, gilligans, wiskey bones.... one or all of them... just throwin an invite out, the more the marrier

 

it's my birthday too...

 

I'd be interested in pursuing this quest. What time does this journey begin?

 

I have a favor to ask of you 2.5RS guys:

Would someone be willing to let me tear their gauge cluster and interior apart to have a look inside? I would like to know what I need to do to convert the gauge colors, but I haven't seen the insides of the 2.5 clusters. Anyone?

 

^You could ask Aric! But he's prolly not awake yet!

Also, happy birthday Jason.. and Silence. ( I don't know your real name!)
Hope you both have a safe and jolly birthday.

 

Happ birthday Jason and Drew! I'd join the festivities but i worked 11 hours today and have to go back @.... well **** it, I'll be out in a bit. lol

 

well me angie and a few people are gonna hit up fridays probably around 7:00-7:30.... and then probably goto the bars around 9 or so maybe...
if anyone is down and it looks like a few are you can shoot me a text and i'll update ya on the position of the caravan or idiots i call my friends...
507-271-6573

if anything we're gonna probably start at rookies close to 9 or 9:30

 

lee if my car didn't need work or i had another mode of trasportation i'd be fine with it.... but at this point can't do it..... sorry pimpin

 

once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!!!111!!11!!

Sorry to interupt the festivities.....but the wagon has gone off to it's new home! I'm sad and glad all at once. Sad that it is gone but glad that it's gone to a new home of a first-time suby enthusiast.

When we go bowling.....first round is on me!

Steve

 

congrats steve, good to know everything went through alright.

and Jason, it's a drinking pic not a multi-million $$$ ad campaign. lol
Definately up for another round, on a weekend!

Steve

Steve

 

Yay bowling!

Car didnt start this morning, have it sitting on the charger while I'm away at work. Anyone have ideas on where to get a good deal on a new battery? I'm thinking Wallyworld or FleetFarm.

 

do you just want a cheap bettery or do you want a good battery?

 

Went to Walmart and got there "good" battery.
