How Do You Sell a Car That Has Undergo Accident?

[Elmo]

Nope, mine is NA car. I intend to make a high revving NA car. Perhaps about 160HP for the engine but keep weight as low as possible. I found WS that could make fiberglass doors for me. That why help me to remove quite a lot of weight. CF bonnet found. Trunk also found. Now is the glass windows.... Trying to find light weight plexi glass ones. But I don't think plexi glass is LTA friendly..... hmm.......

 

As for seats, I intend to keep the rear seats to make it look like a street car (maybe try to find some lightweight cushion for the seats. Current ones very heavy. But trunk will be stripped clean.

 

Exhaust already replaced with lightweight (ok no so light stainless steel ones) but still lighter compared to stock. Going to replace intake manifold next month with a lighter version as well.

 

My cheapo car dashboard already made of plastic so don't think CF will help at all. Center console gone as well.

 

Oh yar..... ICE..... Forget to take out.

 

Engine components.... I think too expensive other than flywheel. I am already changing my pistons to make it higher comp and rev better.

 

Good....quite comprehensive....think you may have to also change your gearbox or at least adjust ratio to use your higher RPM range.

That may also include a change of clutch.

Not sure for your conrods whether need to change together with your pistons though people usually change them plus bearings as well. Since already "open durian" the labour cost already sunk....might as well reinforce everything.

After engine mods still have to tune.....and that is another vacuum cleaner attached to wallet.....

 

Reckon your ride is Vios or Lancer?

Not everyone buy a car because of its safety. You may be one of them but it doesn't mean everyone else in this world thinks like you. And its definitely not the case as many old cars are still being sold today. The VW Beetle is one hack of a popular car. Pple still buy it (even in bad condition), spend $$$ to restore it and drive it on the roads. I am dead sure that its nowhere near today's car in terms of safety.

 

If you look at my profile, you'll realise that I'm not one of those fixated on safety-at-all-cost.

 

I was pointing out the fallacy in your argument equating the situation between an old car (that was not built to stringent modern safety standards) and a modern car that was originally safe but that you've rendered unsafe by crashing and repairing.

 

Apart from anything else, it's safe to say that (with a few exceptions), those older cars weren't engineered to reach the speeds that modern cars reach easily. You have to look at the entire package.

Actually, I do not want any crumble zones. I want the chassis to be as stiff as possible to have good handling. Thus I want the car to be over engineered just like race/rally cars. Even stiffer than the stock car with crappy spot welding.

 

The only downside is that they need 2 weeks to fully weld up the car......

 

Wow looks like you're not getting rid of that scrap yard worthy Satria Neo.

Have fun with it.

Don't crash it again.

[Fastfive1]

No idea..... lost count already.......

 

One final thing left is to take it to the track........Aim is to beat a Civic....lol.....

 

That will never happen.

I take it you two have some history together?

[Escksu]

That will never happen.

 

Someone already beat the Civic liao....... But the car is highly modded....

[Elmo]

Satria Neo has quite good handling characteristics to begin with. With widely avail parts in JB it should be quite a fun car to mod.

So is it a particular Civic you want to beat or Civics in general?

[Yixiang1]

the thread is so long...

 

When one has an accident car, why shouldnt we just sell to Dealer and not say anything... Give the dealer the chance to examine and see for himself..

 

He may identify and press down a bit, so be it...

 

But after selling to dealer, pls COME HERE AND ANNOUNCE YOUR NUMBER PLATE LOUD LOUD!!!!!! Warn bros here.. so no one will be taken in to get a "great deal", "low mileage and 100% accident free" car from dealer..

 

This way, u pwnz the dealer~!
