Rip # 3421
 

Well after 11 years it was bound to happen. Didn’t figure it the way it went but around 645 pm Feb 19 I spun out, lost control, tagged a pole and this is what remains of my baby. Either way her vital organs will be transplanted into the silver one sitting in my garage or she will be replaced with another. One less out there.

My pride hurts more then my body, I might be a little late for this race season fellas…..

Was this on the way back from the meet??

evening after the meet, leaving dinner @ g/f's...just talked to my body shop he thinks it might not be a total, but we'll still need to see what the adjuster says.....

clay bar... buff right out...

Dan

sorry to see it but as we all know shit happens. atleast you are ok

Sorry to hear man. I dont know what id do if that happened to me, let alone another fd going down.

But i hope its repairable.

Could be black ice right?

Thats why i refuse to drive the fd in this weather, i dont care if people call me a sissy.

Better safe than sorry.

fuck man im really sorry to hear... glad i got to see it before its demise. part it and drop an LS1 in the silver one ;)

Bummer man. Your ok though and that is what is important. Good luck with swapping the parts over.

sorry to hear about the 7. glad to hear youre okay, and at least you have a extra silver one. if only we could all be so lucky to have a back up FD. oh yea, and dont drop an LS1 in the silver one. im sure thats not why you bought an rx-7. good luck

Hopefully it can be repaired by your body shop. Best of luck with it :)

That should very well be repairable regaurdless what the adjuster says. They will total a car if it has a flat tire and a broken bumper.

Looks fixable. is the frame bent? looks like you would need some suspension parts

Damn this Sunday was a bad one for all of us. I must admit that compared to yours my electrical fire seems insignificant.
Good luck with it or the silver one!

no!....
say it isnt so len..

:icon_no2:

Jio,
I wish I could, I mean the man hrs I have into her alone are staggering...

Should know if it totaled in a day or so, I’m on the fence if I want her to be or not, I mean the body shop its at is a long time friend of myself and my family, does incredible work (my hood and interior parts were only a small sample of his talent) but I spoke to him today and we both agreed if he wouldn’t take it down the track he would push to get it totaled also.

Cars are never the same after an accident like this… but if it doesn’t at least ill get a fresh new paintjob

Ohh dude am I ever going to get the last box o parts? LOL

Wired thing was after all these years I was just starting to like red, LOL

Sorry to hear bro...
If they do total it, make sure you buy it back from them so you can scrap it and sell all the parts or salvage what you can for you next FD. Hell, Fritz is rich off of doing this stuff! lol.....
Btw...
If they total it, Billy Spence is selling his RED FD (listed in the NE section) with Fikse's and T78 for around $17K.....food for thought.

If the Ins company gives me close to that id deff be interisted. but who knows how their going to determine the value.....

NOOOOOO!! Oh well Good luck with transplant. Hopefully she will respond to some oil, fuel and coolant, and will be back 150%

Well shee's totaled, now im in search of recipt's for any MAJOR WORK performed, i have my engine and rear end, if anyone has one for a tranny i could use it ;)

ill know what im getting back later today

Hey sorry to hear what happened to your baby. You helped me out some time ago and if there is anything I can do for you, you just let me know I'll even take a week off from work if it is needed.
Red FC in Fairview NJ, two cases of Yinglings.

i had to do the same thing.........ask JPR......

Sorry to have read the bad news..... Hope you have a quick recovery!...
