Well last night around midnight my new neighbor hit my CRX...hit it hard enuff to bend rear subframe about a 1/2 inch...impact dented the rear quarter...then it pushed into a F150 in front of it busting the turn signal...smashing front corner of fender...bending hood...scuffing the front cover...ripping my bra...Man I'm bummed...have to wait for police report on tuesday...then off to the body shop...with my luck will get totalled out...

 

 

That really sucks man. I really love stock CRXs with the original Si wheels. Good luck with everything

 

that will become salvage if you go thu insurance

 

definately salvage with insurance.. you can always buy it back from insurance and fix it up

 

thanks for the kind words fellas...If they do total it I'll buy it back and fix...

 

That sucks bro, the chick that sold me my 88 crx si back in 1998, just totaled her 89si(Y-49). It was a head on collision, and not her fault. She came out of the hospital today after this happened on thursday. A lot of bursing from the steering wheel in her chest region, but shes okay.

 

That sucks man. Unfortunately that is going to be very close to a total. I was an insurance adjuster for a couple years so I hate to say it but it will be totalled.

 

Damn bro, thats some shitty luck.

Good luck with the repairs.

 

damn the curse, sorry to see man

 

Hopefully the subframe is not as bad as you think and the body work is easy to fix. If the frame is ok, or fixable, then you should okay to get a new fender, hood, bodywork in rear, and call it a day. But it all depends on the frame, let us know bro.

 

I got the estimates the other day...One for $2600...the other is $3900...Anyone ever bought their CRX back from an insurance company? How much did you have to pay? Any tips on what to do? Thanks in advance as I'd really like to keep my Rex and hate to see it totalled out....

 

if they total it, get prices of crx's on ebay, on here and autotrader, etc., because KBB/NADA is cheaper than the REAL fair market value...looks like you had no rust?

 

it's mainly rust free asided from the sunroof and one spot on the hood. I'll just have to see...Still waiting on their adjuster to contact me..I got too much invested in it now to just let it get totalled...

 

I recently had two late 80's vehicles get "totalled". I had to pay $200 for one and $350 for the other. My tip to you is to clean the hell out of it before the adjuster sees it. Also, gather all receipts for parts and work done... although mechanical stuff didn't get me very far with the insurance company... they are more impressed with a new paint job rather than a new suspension for some reason. Also, I know where you can get it fixed for kinda cheap (not paint, though).

 

Pfft i still don't see how someone can hit someone else's car and not notice right away, unless they are old or a complete retard.

 

The guy that hit me has a 99 Pontiac Grand Prix and the only damage to his car was it knocked out one of his plastic grille sections...Just sucks...

 

I'm with you man. I just installed a first gen B16 2 weeks ago and found out my front (rear ) crossmember was cracked. So I took off the crossmember from my donor car and took it to a shop to have it installed and found out my rear (back of car) crossmember was cracked as well. So I went and bought a 2004 Civic si. But I will stay on this forum to help others out. Damn that Y49 paint!!! Now I got to find out what I am going to do with the rex.....

jeebus, that was kinda extreme, don't you think?

 

impulse buy.... he will be back... no one can escape the ef/crx forum!

 

damn that sucks man Hope everything works out for you!

 

Sucks that it happened. If nothing else, look for the silver lining via the irony.

You never could have seen this coming when you 1st put that bra on.

 

I have a donor 88 Crx Dx sitting in my yard. I think that I am going to take everything from my Crx si and transfer it to it. So I will continue to be on the EF forum. There isn't any other car like the CRX!!!!!!!!!!
