I had the full Kmac because there was slight suspension damage from the previous owner, that would only allow me to bring the car to just outside the correct alignment specs. I figured if I was replacing bushings, might as well go with the full kit, for when I DO have lowered suspension.

BUT, I have hope for my car now, so everything is on hold for a few more days at least until I get word.

Theres a possibility that my car is just on the edge of being a total loss, and if the adjuster can get it to swing in my favor so I can keep my car, I will most definately be doing so. Yes, my insurance will skyrocket, yes, my car will be in a garage for 2+ months probably, but its MY car, and Im attached to it, even if it is just a little 180.

 

What were you paying a month for insurrance?


I pay $53 per month for full coverage. Single male, I own my house multi car policy - 23 Years old, male

 

Oh... This is so damn tempting... I'll wait until you get the official word to say it!
Anyway, that's great news! I hope it all works out in your favor!

 

Was paying about $1100 a year for full coverage, but I haven't had the best luck with cars.

Heres my first Audi


My second was a 99 2.8L A4, which ate a cable guard rail. (cant find the pics right now).

Then we had the Nov. TT accident, bill came to about $6000 for that.

Now this accident.

 

your new sig

"i never met a car i couldnt wreck"

 

i'll be crossing my fingers that you can keep your car!!!!

 

Those are some short girls.

 

so whats the update on gettin your car fixed matt?

 

The update, ahh yes, its been a rollercoaster of emotion, I almost forgot.

The initial climp up the coaster was possibly getting to keep my car.
The down was learning that its actually totalled.
The next up, leading into one of those crazy fast cork screws was that my insurance premium will be going from $600 and change every 6 months, to $700 and change. The next time my policy renews, sept. i think, I'll be 25, and will get a discount on my insurance dropping it to about $540 every 6.

Whats this mean? Well, cashflow wise....

My next car will start with a baseline of 225hp, and that pile of parts in my garage will bolt right up.

Hell yeah, I'm getting a TT.

I have until probably tuesday at the latest to do something about the chip. Assuming they can get the back roads cleared tomorrow, I'll be up there pulling the ECU. Swapping ECU's is probably the easiest, but incase I can't get a replacement here in time, Im gonna call APR tomorrow and see what the feasability of unsoldering the chip is. It'd still have to match the same ECU #, but it can be shipped/installed w/o me needing a backup right then and there.

 

Heat sink it if ya can... To much heat could destroy it..
