power steering is on that side, window washer is on that side.

what about fuel rail?

you would have smelled gas or the engine would have died. the fuel rail metal and is on the intake side. i don't think the turbo/exhaust would have gotten that hot in just a few miles. they are dreaming

look at you policy and see if there is a loop hole for them on a mechanical failure.

the first thing my insurance co asked about was the parking brake.( i had a photo of the car sitting in the driveway running to prove it worked.) they also asked if the brake been worked on recently. nope.

has the adjuster looked at it yet?

tell the insurance co that you are going to get three estimates for repairs and see what they say.

Sorry.. I have to ask this Tryan..

How do you take a pic of a car running (to prove its running)..unless it smokes ?? LOL

I was Trying to understand your post... not Trying to bust your balls.

LB.. I was reading an issue of Porsche 911 world that was sent to me.

In the drivethru at 2am?

Okay.. I suppose that could happen.

If I'm ever at a drivethru at 2am, I'm usually lucky that I can focus on the road - let alone read a magazine.

i've seen the pic and I think you can see a little smog/steam from the exhaust.

they are both smokers.

i had a regular camera out and wasted the last two shots on a roll. both smoke/steam when you fire them up after being in the basement. the teener clears up pretty quick, but you have to drive the 911 to make it stop smokin'.

i'm now getting stiffed ( my choice ) for the final 40% check from the insurance co because good 'ol tn won't issue a salvage title on a car older than 10 years. when the t rusts down to the ground and SOMEBODY starts making 914-6 heat exchangers, the two will become one.

They just totalled the car.

More to come.

That's a shame. I know how much you loved that car. It was a true classic that will be very difficult to replace.

Good luck.

NICE.

I'll holf off on putting the engine back in..LOL

Hang in there. Hopefully they'll do right by you. Stick to your guns.

Felt creative...sung to "Pop goes the weasle."

He drove around, all over town.
He'd just gone to the store (sha).
He heard a noise, what was that sound?
BOOM! goes the Porsche.

Sean escaped, without a scratch,
But the car bured to the floor (sha).
Now Progressive's treating him like a biatch.
BOOM! goes the Porsche.



I must be sleep deprived or something....

It's done, all done. I feel like I did ok by the deal.

cool.

does anyone use a fire retard system of any kind on these 914's ???????sounds like something to look into...........and again sorry for your loss

I did well, so, please don't feel sorry for me. It was just a water pumper anyway. Thank God it wasn't a teener!!!
