Well, Yesterday I rear ended some guy on merdian in puyallup. Here are some pics


I need a new bumper, Hood, lights, quarter panels

So if you have a parts car or something I found one in Granite Falls for 800 bucks The motor is blown in it so I would swap my NA into it.

here are pics

EDIT: pics will come tonight...

 

I've got a pair of black headlights... $120, and I think I know of a white n/a hood that's available. PM me for more info

 

Awesome man. That would be great.

Im looking for a Bumper Stock or maybe a body kit to throw on who knows.

 

i have a tan aluminum na hood in prefect shape - 125

 

i cant decide wether i want to go with a body kit or keep it stock... hard to tell.

Anyways you guys got any oppionions on Racebeat Headers and Exhaust? Im going to use this accident as an excuse to spend some money on my car.

 

if you looking to buy parts then you should probably start a WTB thread

 

My opinion is all 2 rotor na rotary engines are a waste. Save the money for a NA-T or t2 swap.

 

Yeah... but you are just addicted to boost. I know nothing about turbos and what not so I dont want to get to deep into it. Plus I got to have a car to drive to school/Work for now so if I was going to do that I would probably find a Project car to make a TII swap or NA-T. I just dont have a lot of income right now and Im about to move out so Ill have to see whats happening. Play it by ear.

 

+1 for the turbo. . .my FB (which is my only daily) is going to be getting a bump from the 12a it has to 13bt. not sure what but its happening. . . then again i do have a months worth of vaca time stockpiled. Now that i have officially threadjacked it could have been worse, you hit a truck huh?

 

What I am trying to say is you are going to spend $350+ in aftermarket parts and fixes to trying to make your NA better, when you are going to gain ... maybe at most 20 hp. You could be saving that money to find a t2 manifold, turbo, injectors, drivetrain, maf, and pressure sensors and gain well over 80 hp and have a lot more potential in the car. (also you get rid of the stupid open diff and ridiculously weak na transmission.) Find someone with a blown t2 car that they are sick of and ask em how much they want for the parts you need.

Yes I am addicted to boost, but that is the replacement for displacement, and a NA 2 rotor engine doesn't have many options that are affordable or logical to make the car quick. Our cars <3 boost. http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/2n...to_turbo2.html

 

+1

 

You know now that i have been thinking about it I Might do a T2 swap or a NA-T.

Turbo is a lot faster and Im addicted to Speed!!!

 

ok here are some pics. I got the Bumper off and Hood And I think I got the bracket that was bent unbent


Video of Damage before I started ripping **** apart.

Nice job, wasn't so bad eh? Doesn't look like you bent much of any metal. Our cars are pretty tuff, they don't just crunch like a lot of the newer cars. :/

 

ya thank god. I dont ever want to drive a tin can Aka Geo Metro

 

umm i wouldnt say out cars are tough...sure they arent plastic but you want tough get a truck or classic. thick *** steel, ive crumpled up a couple of these cars.

 

I feel safe in my car. Hopefully I am safe!

 

Until you get T-boned by a Volvo.. Game over RX-7 Unfortunately, my 1st RX-7 and I had to figure this out the hard way.

 

haha thank god I wasnt Tboned. I was rear ended on my crotch rocket last year dthe car was doing about 50 mph. I got lucky

Hey im having issues with the body kit install. Ill link to the thread.

Body Kit Issues Thread:

I would say so! Did you get hurt much when that happened? I've been wondering how it would go if that happened to me.. I just position myself now so that if I'm @ a stoplight and someone runs up on me I can just hit the gas and get between some cars ahead of me.

 

It happened too quick to respond. All i knew was the ground. Thank god for riding gear. I wasnt hurt thank god my Bike was TOTALLED though. I got a lot of money out of it. Thanks how i got my GSXR but i just sold that too.

I only got my 7 now and i love it.


ANYWAYS i got pics of the kit on now!










its looking good. Anybody know good local painter?

sideskirts and Back bumper willl hopefully be on this weekend.

 

Nice, looking good. How are you going to hold the top to the main bumper? Just wondering.

 

The Top Lip ? or the bumper its self.

IllTell you both.

For the lip i took a metal bracket off of the stock Bumper from the top and it fit perfectly on the lip. Drilled holes in the fiberglass and they all lined up perfectly with the stock holes on the car.

For the bumper I just lined everything up. put the bolts in. Drill a few extra holes for more support and its on. Than (pics here http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c7...2/IMG_0620.jpg) for the side lights i cut out the holes in the bumper and put the lights through on the side and when i bolted those together back in the kit was pretty solid. I think i did a pretty decent job.

Does anybody know if you have to have a front license plate in wa?

Thanks.

ps more pics to come. sideskirts on this weekend!

 

Cool cool. I don't want to nit pick, I just want to make sure you have seen what I see. Maybe you fixed it already, but the top lip is a little higher on the driver side than it is on the passenger side. Any ideas?

 

Ya i noticed that today when I was taking the pics. I am going to have to put some spacers in it to even it out. Ill take a look at it on my day off. Gonna have to think that one through.

EDIT: just though of this I think the bolts on that side that is higher arnt all the way down now that i think about it. Ill have to tighten this up tomorrow and see if that fixes it!

Plus the sides of the front lip need to to be bolted into the fenders still.

Still a work in progress. its looking good though.

For the first time Some kid at school came up to me and told me i had a nice car. I feel soo ashamed of my car because its all ricey looking with the unpainted kit. makes me sad becasue i make fun of all the rice burners.

oh well

anyways i got to get of the damn computer and fall asleep, i hate laptops...

Have a good night guys
