i got into a minor accident 2 weekends ago, slid off the road during a heavy snow on some ice into a big rock, car didn't seem too badly damaged, just some mangled metal. had a body shop come pick it up last night and they informed me today that its totaled, bent the entire right frame rail the guy said, and since i was paying out of pocket instead of going through insurance, it is gonna be around 8k-10k to fix

that sux man atleast your not hurt though

 

wow that doesn't look that bad, but what do i know... so no insurance?

 

i have insurance but i didnt want to go with it cause it would jack up my rate 20%, but im gonna have to report it now i guess

 

damn that sux... good luck with whatever you choose to do

in my father shop in new york we would fix that easily and that guy ripping u off to pay 10 grand to fix it. it be at least 3000 grand to fix for us in ny.

 

is that 3k through insurance, or 3k out of pocket? some body shops only like to deal with insurance i found in my search for a place to fix it, my friend josh said i should get a 2nd opinion, but i really dont care. i'll see what my dad says and go from there.

 

sux to be the car right now...

 

i am sooo sry to hear that, don't take this in any way offensive but would you sell some of your parts to me?

 

haha its not offensive, i stripped my turbo off the day after it happened.
what you looking for?

as is im pulling the whole motor out and dumping my blown motor right back in it. i just converted and had that motor installed back in september

 

sorry for ur loss

 

that sucks about your car. anything wrong with the turbo kit except for the intercooler? how much you want to sell the kit?

 

dude you need at least 2 more opinions.

never EVER EVER take the first estimate.

 

yeah it would be out of ur pocket 3 k

 

turbo is a-ok, it didnt even get touched except theres a small ding in the down pipe from the lower radiator support banging into it, doubt it will effect flow or anything. i have a ad up in the FI classifieds for it

i was thinking the same thing, always get more than one estimate, just like getting a 2nd opinion from a doctor.

 

man i'm sorr to there about your ride! it looks more than a minor accident to me! hopefully you can salvage some of the parts!

 

really i dont care about another opinion, before the accident i was planning on selling it cause im downright just bored of my honda. i did all i wanted to it and it just drained my cash too much.

im mentally going through everything on the car i have to strip off and put my stock **** back on
y8 intake manifold
greddy evo catback
red/white tails
driver and pass. seats
bezel
speedo
armrest
etc....
rotors arent worth taking off right?
