have you talked to any of the local dealers yet like baierl or spitzer? they may be able to recommend someone or do the work for you. btw, have you figured out what is damaged? pittsburgh roads suck!

Usually it's not the manholes; it's the potholes!

So I called Spitzer Acura today for an estimate...$9000 they quoted me. Is that a load of **** or what? They said that I cracked my engine block, my tranny, my oil pan, my exhaust, etc...what the hell!!!

Well, you have an opportunity to rebuild. Mike K. at Naples Acura is selling his b20z block with a modifided gsr girdle/bearing caps, with new oil, water? pumps for 500 I think. For under 2.5K you could have the crvtech beast.

Good luck and sorry to hear about the accident.
