i understand that it wouldnt be roadworthy once accident happens (well, the type of accident that would render a vehicle a write-off) but does registration (or is it vehicle licencing) come in to it?

i thought it is written off when insurance co doesn't wanna pay for the repair which exceed the value of the car insured. beyond economic repair in beancounter speak but anything is repairable if you have enough money.

when insurance co writes off and sell a car (as a wreck obviously), do they dereg it first because they can't meet the less-than-30-day-old WOF requirement?

my mags didnt come with shouldered bolts either so bought from some mag wheel/tyreshop in manukau ages ago - they were so very expensive.

check out this siiiiiiick 125 lol. i didn't like ward all that much in the end (actually those are imitation ward). i did dig 40 year old rock hard fire stone with white letters. front one came with the car but if i had a choice i d rather have factory steelies.

ward mags use shouldered bolts, not tapered ones?

hmmm sometimes i wish i kept mine...

who do you guys use for parts supply?

sorry off topic, how do these "premium yards" work? do they get them off for you and charge extra? i don't get it. Please note: This price list applies only to items you remove yourself from our self serve yard and do not applyto parts off vehicles in the Premium Yard (Wellington and Christchurch). Please check with the booth staff.

Last time I was there was St Patrick's Day and no one was there (must have been doing Paddy's day thing) and it got dark real quick. I haven't been back since though.

STA parts look cheap - those guys always seem to have sour mood though for some reason...

thanks - much appreciated!

Hi, I need to make up some braided lines. I made up a few lengths of stainless braided lines a few years while ago but I forgot some details so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. 1. The fittings are re-usable, right? The stuff I have looks like Russell full flow fitting but probably some non-brand stuff. (it doesn't have any Russell logo) 2. Are the fittings are interchangeable with different manufacturer's hoses etc? 3. Is it ok to connect a fabric braided hose with a stainless braided hose using a union in between? 4. Where is a good place to pick up a fabric braided hose (like Russell ProClassic but generic non-brand cheaper alternative)? I only need 3 feet. Auckland. Cheers

what do they do if your nose is completely blocked, do they pick your nose first?
