The valve covers pealing and not looking the best right now, lol. Trying to decide on what color to go with now? itll be powder coated by a place here in town, but i dont want wrinkle black. I want sumthin that goes with the car but still looks clean. Also, this car will be on 15lbs in the summer, hopefully, but im wondering what/if a catch can will do anything for me? Will i need one? if not cool, if so what do i go with?

 

sweet ride, DA's look reall nice

Clutch and flywheel came in today:

Well i got the clutch and trans in, got about 750 miles on it and i LOVE it. Grabs hard and feels stock, kinda.... lol. But thats not what this post is about sadly . Monday night i was at my old ladys house, it was about 830 or so when we both heard a loud "bang" and my alarm started goin off! I grabbed my keys and shut it off, ran outside and this middle aged lady looked at me and said, "Im soo sorry, i didnt even see it......" Yea, she somehow managed to back into a white car that was parked under a street light. Oh, and that car happened to be mine. So the cops get called, and the cop says since i wasnt even in the car and it was parked that i dont have to give her my info. So i got her insurance stuff and so far everythings goin pretty smooth. Im waitin for the claims adjuster to get ahold of me, should be tomorrow hopefully. Already got a few estimates and they seem to avg. about $1,700 in damage, but for a 21 yr-old car its cuttin it close to bein totaled. The car books anywhere between $1,900-$2,900. Anyway, heres some pics i took today, i had to pull the fender away from the tire before i cld drive it.

 

could have been worse... yay for havn insurance hope you get it bak mint

 

Yeah, could've been way worse. That carbon fiber hood wasn't even touched! PHEW!

Good luck with that though

 

ok, well the appraiser looked at the car today and didnt total it!!!!! yay! so i got a $1500 check on its way to me..... though on a side note, found out the wheel bearing on that side took a good lick. With the car on the ground, you can shake it and feel it move around! yikes!!!

 

So i dropped the car off to the body shop on Tuesday, they called and said it needed a new bumper support. So im still without a car for now, they said i should get it back this Tuesday or Wednesday. They painting my chin spoiler the same color as the car, which im pretty excited about to be honest, always wanted to do that just never had the time. Heres the parts list as the car sits:

New front bumper skin
New front bumper support
New set of corner lights
New bumper slider brackets
New driver fender
New headlight bracket

Theyre also blending the new paint into the driver door, so all the moldings and inner panels are pulled off the car. Car looks so different right now, cant wait to get it back!

 

Keep us updated! I want to see how nice it looks when its fixed.

 

So i got the car back on Friday, and im finally gettin around to postin pics, lol. So leave some comments, they buffed the whole car and made the 22 yr-old paint pop like new! I absolutely fell back in love with this car. heres pics:

 

Passenger side front bumper needs a minor alignment, but all in all.....

 

NEW SHOES!!!

 

Heres some better pics of the car. Just washed and waxed Ill try to get a sound clip of the exhaust here soon, since my original was kinda lame. enjoy:
