im not totally sure on the damage to my 93 si hatch, but i rear ended someone today and one corner is pretty messed up.. the car is totalled for sure. but im wondering how hard it is to make this a dedicated track car. as long as the shock towers are ok i should be fine right? it was just a thought i had afterwards that i could make a little autocross car, since there are no tracks that close. if the front is messed up too much are there many tube framed cars that auto-x or road race? sorry if this sounds newbiesh.. im a drag racer hehe. but my thoughts are just a good cage that ties into the shock towers, or maybe if i have to custom shock towers.

Unless you REALLY love working on cars, buy a used racecar! It's cheaper, and you'll have a car that wasn't wrecked, and has the racing bugs worked out.

Is your frame straight?

 

well i wrecked it like 2 hours ago.. im assuming it is.. it looks like it just bent the rad support, and right where the left headlight attaches down. the reason i wanna do this is because i pretty much have a useless car. if i dont make it a racecar im selling it. and yes, i do love working on cars been building a drag car for a year.

 

Too bad you are so far away. I would buy it & do the repair without any qualms. My current race car required a new radiator support & some frame rail too. It didn't make it to the shock towers so it was all good!!

Things you have to remember is that, when it is a track car, it won't be & doesn't need to be pristine.

 

im gonna be in la in a week or so.. could bring it to ya if you want to buy it.. how hard was it to remake the front.

 

buy radiator support. drill out spot welds holding on old one. weld on new one. done.
