Well, as expected they found it a total loss. Theyr'e giving me $6315 which i'm happy with, minus 700 if i retain salvage. The question is should I keep it for that or let it go? Its a 1990 TII with 90000 miles, both exterior and interior are in very good condition. I had a fire around the turbo area. I need at least part of the wiring harness, a new turbo, a new engine, supposedly I need a new intercooler although I don't see why. My ABS pump is leaking worse than average and probably needs to be replaced and my alignment is off. So give me your opinions, what should I do?

KEEP IT damn why are they giving you so much?

yearrgh

I remember you? How did you make out with yours?

Zach McAfee

Na, I'll take it off your hands for you.
Keep it.

yearrgh

And I got so much because I have USAA and I was dealing with my insurance company, which is much easier. Also, I had a paper from the bank when I got my loan that said the car was worth 5900 before the new engine and turbo was put in.

What do you mean?

yearrgh

I'm thinking I might turn it into a barely streetable monster, but then I'd have to drive a shitbox as my daily, and I'm not sure that it would be worth it.

yearrgh

maybe it was someone else that was having trouble. You werent' in an accident awhile ago?

Nah man my car is ok just needs more MODS

I say re-build it and then with the cash you have left buy an N/a

yearrgh

I had an n/a, but I don't want to talk about that. Its difficult to suppress the rage of what my best friend did to it.

yearrgh

Oh, the other thing is that I still owe $2500 on it, and I have to pay the bank off immediatly when I get the check. So I have less money to put into fixing it, but enough for a downpayment if I get something else.

yearrgh

So I probably wouldn't have enought to fix it right away.

6315 - 700 - 2500 = 4115

TII with no engine $4115 and no loan..... I would definately take that.

Wow $4000 and a nice interior + exterior TII, thats sounds like fun. Hell instead of replacing the wiring harness and all other stock **** like that why don't you get an aftermarket EMS, then rebuild the motor with a larges street port, bigger rad blah blah blah, youwould be set.

yearrgh

Wouldn't an aftermarket EMS run about 2 grand? I know the complete harness is more than that from mazda, but I've got a friend who is a dealer so I can get cars from IAAI auctions, although I have yet to see an rx7 there.

i don`t know if u guys had maths schools but here 6315 minus 700 is 5615 and minus 2500 is $3115 .....

yearrgh

LOL! The problem is that in the united states we let EVERYONE go to highschool, not just the smart kids. Just kidding 13bpower, I can do calculus in my head, but I can't add or subtract either.

Microtech EMS should not cost you more than ~$700-800 complete.

Whatever u want to fix, check before buying original parts if aftermarket is not at same price of cheaper and better value than stock.

wow, I totally missed that one, To think I will be an accountant in a year. Or is that 2 years? I better recount.
