It's totaled :(
A lady ran a stop sign and I plowed into her. The damage doesn't seem that bad. Messed up front end and busted radiator, but because the repairs are going to be a little over 9 grand, her insurance company wants to total it. Mine said the same thing. Getting another one will have to wait a year because I'm about to deploy and it makes no sense buying one now. I'll put pics up of it soon.
I'll be buying it back for spare parts, but I'm going to have to save up a little to get another one because there's not one I can get for what they want to give me. The drive train is in good shape. I was thinking about shoving it all into my miata, but don't know how. Anyone know anything about that? A rotary would be nice in that little car.

+1... same thing happened to me when I crashed my 65 mustang... I just dropped in a fully built 347 stroker and t-5 trans... And they were only going to give me $5000 for the car... i showed them what all had been done to the car and they ended up giving my 7k plus my engine back... but you really have to fight with them... BASTARDS. haha

I got in a wreck in mine and the insurance company was saying there was over 12k worth of damage to mine and they still never totaled it...don't remember what the actual total turned out to be. But they fixed it all and this was less than a year ago on a all stock car. They should value the car above that. I did ask if they were going to total it and they said the car was worth too much...I would be surprised if they totaled yours out.

sorry to hear that they totaled it. I would argue with them; get the car back and get however much they can give you to make you whole. I got into a minor fender bender and the insurance company wanted to total it (over $6k worth of damage!! they have no idea what the car is or what it is worth); my autobody shop and I argued back and forth with the insurance company explaining what the car is (that it is much more then some hunk of metal from 1993.)
There was a 13b powered Miata in a magazine recently (S3 maybe? Not a magazine high on my purchase list; but I bought it for the Miata.) That would be an awesome (albeit probably not cheap) project and a bad *** car.
Good luck in the service and best wishes. Hopefully this situation works out for you.

I was at Rotary Performance and the owner was saying how badass it would be to put the 13b into a miata. Can you imagine 400whp in a car that weighs in at 2,000lbs? INSANE
