Well as some of you may have heard I had a little incident with the turn 3 wall at racecity on Friday.

My quote to get it fixed with all new OEM Mazda parts was $18000 *ouch*

At that price I can't justify it. I may have to sell it as is, or part it out

Anyways here is a pic.

 

Holy Crap that sucks. It was one of the cleanest FDs I have seen. Glad to see that you are ok though.

Mazda stock parts are always pricey, how about the aftermarket? Or doing a Ebay/Forum blitz for used parts? Would be a real shame to part it out.

 

Holy ****.

 

I agree with Roshambo. As long as there's no frame damage, look for an alternative source for parts. Mazda parts are pretty steep.

 

I dont see what is $18000 worth in damage there. Unless there is frame damage as mentioned above.

 

There is frame damage. I will have more details on it tonight.

 

Is your car interior tan?

 

And here come the vulcher's

Sorry to hear the bad news. Don't give up on it yet, lets hear the details and talk it out, maybe someone can come up with an option.

 

I would get a couple of mroe quotes. Go start buying used Fd hood, fenders etc.

 

Yah man , get more quotes , the parts are easy to find used , I dont see how it would be 18k?!?

 

Ouch. It's painful to see bent FD sheet metal.
Don't part it out.
Gotta be able to find parts. Take your time and start cruising the FS/WTB sections.
Make a plan.

Too bad it wasn't driveable or else you could've had an 'accident' on the road and have insurance to help out.

 

LOL,

I think they would have figured it out though since I spent the night in the hospital after leaving race city in an Abulence.

Just remembe this is for all new OEM parts. I have already found sources for some of the stuff, but things like air bag sensors are really hard to come by.

 

Car has tan seats and carpet. The rest is black.

 

I can't see much from that picture, but that doesn't look worse than what I did to my FC last December. I had a minor frame pull and that part was only $200 where I took it and up to $300 elsewhere. I would encourage you to fix the car.

It's a tough break, but at least it happened while you were having fun with it on the track. If you're going to crash a car, better that it was in the process of it doing what it was made for than in some silly road incident. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

I agree with turbo II, get some more info and lets see if between a bunch of forum members we can't help you get this thing on the road again!! atleast you weren't permanently hurt!

 

So one of the major hits is that the airbags and all the sensor cost around $4700

 

Dude!!!!! I can't believe you did that... I actually have tears comming out of my eyes after seeing your car in person.. If it was black i would buy it as is...
Hope you get her back on the road... Goodluck!

 

why not buy it now? it needs a repaint anyways?


but damn that really sucks, approx. how fast were you going? at least it did it's job.

 

Airbags hurt. I think I'd rather take a shot from mike tyson than get it from an airbag.

 

Ya the airbag knocked me out!! It also burnt my face pretty bad. I was doin between 60 and 100 kmh.

I really don't think I can afford to fix it.

Anyone have idea of what its worth as it sits?

 

Let's see...
Original Engine, body looks toast, interior was alright... Frame damage...
I honestly have no idea.. I'm thinking like 5 grand? I honestly don't have a clue.. Just taking a wild guess...

 

the sweet thing is it wasn't on the road so insurance doesn't have to know . so the title can stay clear, just need a really good body man. there have been fire damaged ones in the triad around here for 9000 still, but thats way up there, so 5k sounds good, but thats a huge loss

 

Selling a car which you know has a bent frame is ILLEGAL!!!!!

 

if the seller is unaware, hell if i had the money i would buy it. fix it and no one would be the wiser, if i sold it down the road it would be a issue.

 

you have a 94?
