Goodnight sweet prince, I hardly knew ye...

Deer on highway, slam on brakes, get rear ended by drunk rednecks in a mini van, cool.
Anyone have any experience with insurance companies and rx-7's?

 

lol alex seems like your keeping the equips!

 

prob totaled, sorry buddy

 

Oh I know that, meant more like how much do they like to lowball you kinda thing, I'm hoping that having receipts for the rebuild/streetport 11k ago for almost $3k and paint 1.5 years ago will help me out, I've never had any experience with insurance like this before which is why I asked

 

I doubt it, They will prob use the NADA or whatever and it aint going to say if dude has a streetport blah blah extra 1k, lol... I think if the car is modded atleast with geico when i insured my car they asked ahead of time if it was and if i wanted to insure any of it like wheels or whatever but i'm not to sure how it works.. Good luck to ya

 

The insurance company will do everything in their power to screw you, and they will take as long as possible to do it.

 

I feel like even if ya throw the streetport out the window, it still had 11k on a fresh motor with receipts for everything, can't hurt

Hahaha awesome, why would I expect anything more right? lol

 

Now I know what wheels to get for my 10thAE. Thanks for the inspiration!

 

MAC's FC is probably the cleanest in the South Bay...good job man.
per rules.....sorry no photobucket yet

 

If you're refering to the pic above, thats not longer my setup. Jason is rocking it well though! And even when I had that kit, I don't know how you can say that and post the pic you just did haha.

 

^^game recognize game homie!!! thats from a true Gardena player...^^

 

LOL

 

what so funny finishline?

 

here's my GXL inside good as new all original stock , outside few small dings hard to find . original system AC,works .. . as everything else
Tein type flex coilovers , brakes upgrade , cold air , full Borla exhaust with single high flow cat ( sounds perfect ) XXR-002 0.offset wheels 225/45/16 front and 245/45/16 rear .

 

just take the money, buy it back and buy a shell. it'll be work to swap everything over but you should come out ahead with a good running car and a few thou in your pocket depending on how much you spend on the shell car

 

Pretty much what I was thinking, although if they give me a good enough amount I'll just buy it back, part it out for even more, and get into a tII. I'm trying to talk my friend into buying the swap for his miata now haha

Only thing that really sucks is it was the cleanest fc I've EVER seen, atleast in the northeast, like close to showroom quality, impossibly clean... so getting another shell to come close to it will be tough if I do go the re-shell route

 

yo that white fc is in super street, love the set up he went with

 

i have geico
i got cut off and slid into this girls car. insurance totaled her but i got a salvage title for her and had her all fixed up.

 

I also have Geico, at this point I'm done with this chassis.
With school and work 6 days a weeks and winter rapidly approaching I simply don't have time to go through all the work getting it back on the road.

That is unless it doesn't get totaled, probably not gonna happen, then obviously insurance will take getting it roadworthy again.
I'm gonna go get my stuff outta the car in the next couple of days,
look at the damage closer and in the daylight, and without a concussion and blood dripping down my face lol, but from the pic and memory it will 99% be totaled.

Can't say, although extremely upset about the whole thing (I had the car for a whole 2 days)
I am atleast kind of excited in whats to come, depending on how this whole thing goes, I'll atleast be in a tII if not something more expensive. And the more important thing, everyone's alright

Either way sorry for the 5 paragraph essay in a picture thread lol. Wish I had actual nice pics of the car to contribute... thanks everyone for the opinions

 

being a former body man there is no way that the insurance is not going to total that out. the amount of money involved for the labor in just the "frame rack" alone with getting the body straight again would be astronomical. you've got the right idea with part out and buy a tII or shell.

 

what rims r those on your black fc i hella like em

 

I agree, that car is definitely totaled. It would be easier to not even file the claim and just buy a shell and swap everything over, oh, and next time, hit the deer, most you would be looking at is front cover, hood, and maybe windshield.

 

Here are some pics of my old FC's.

Red is '86 GX. White is '88 10th A.E. TurboII

Burnett looks cute. If thats ur gf, nice work!

 

Hitting the deer would have been my fault and not covered, getting rear ended is not my fault.

Unfortunately I don't have the money to fix any damage like that or re-shell out of pocket.
