Default fix it or part it?

alright so i was checking the damage on my ed7 and have concluded it is fixable except it has a couple frame tweaks.

what needs replaced
pass rear traling arm
pass rear LCA
Front crossmember
Headers
Radiator
Shift Linkage
rack and pinon need to be readjusted

how much you think it would cost for parts total?

a truck hit and run me and did like a popo pit maneuver and i spun out and hit a curb.rear pass wheel hit the curb and the front of the car jumped onto the curb.

edith yeah it was on a roundabout so thats why i hit a curb if it was just a regular road i could of avoided it

yeah man fix it. front cross member is easy to do and it's another excuse to replace it with a traction bar or new awesome cross member. The rear trailing arms are easy too and it's available from 90-01 civics and integras also. this also brings you to do the new lower control arms and trailing arm bushings. Plus u can get a camber kit and toe link kit from summit...like spc or ingalls. I vote to keep it def man! good luck and let us know what your gonna do! i'd hate to see another Si in the junkyard and people f%&#@^g the s*&( out of it by ripping parts off of it...i hate those jackass's!!

as long as there is no MAJOR frame damage i would say keep it there is no need to part out and scrap a good ed7 chassis they are becoming harder and harder to find

the front buikhead and frame aprons are pretty tweaked.i wanna replace the bulkhead and pull the aprons.but bodyshops charge alot for it so i want a alternative way of fixing the frame.looking for something that can expand or pull a frame apron.something hydralic that can run on compress air???

alright so I just took a pix of the engine bay so you can see the damage.


is the pass side shock tower pose to be higher than the driver side? and as you can see the pass side frame apron is pushed in while the driver side is straight

so I have a question for all the experts.I wanna replace the frame aprons and front bulkhead so basically the whole front end frame.

so is the whole front end frame spot welded so i can find a replacement at the junkyard and drill out all the spot welds and spot weld it onto my chassis??

ppl say they are hard to find but if it was my car i assure you i could part this thing out and make enough money to pick up another si off craigslist, just gotta wait a month or two for one to pop up. you got aot of good parts on that car that ppl pay good monet for: rear mud guards, optional center consol, sunroof visor, oem front lip. you could make alot of money parting it out. specially if you have an ebay account. i vote part it out and find another one.

ya i THINK you can take the apraons off and re weld new ones in. as far as the frame goes, you might be able to fix that at home. 400 should be a good enough budget to get all the replacement parts to fix ur ride. like that other dude abpve me said, go to craigslist. you should be able to find what your looking for there. and remember, 88-91 will fit your car***
