i wrecked my 88 rx7. lost traction and went in to a pole. apparently this pole is famous for getting smashed in to. or at least thats what the body shop next to it said. these people at the body shop let me store my car there over night... ugh. horrible day.. i was on my way to get gas T_T. im unlucky. this is my second wreck in less than a year.. >_<. whatever i guess. i want to get a shell and swap my motor in or something.. any advice or whatever?

 

bummer dude. goin to fast? wet roads bad tires?

 

bad tires.. so wasnt ready for my back end to lose traction like that. lol not used to rwd

 

pics of your car???

 

i will post later. havent brought it home yet. a body shop let me keep it in their yard for the night

 

rx7s have good traction up to a point. Then they let loose fast. Gotta love LSD.

 

^^ i know right? lol i cant take turn even SLOW without hearing my tires squeeling T_T

 

Used to driving Hondas?

I haven't ever had any problems racing my RX. I race legally. But, no problems with handling at all. The weight distribution on it is awesome, so the rear doesn't come out hard, and it doesn't understeer too much either.

 

^^ i dont drive hondas
i've driven trucks and an impreza before this

 

I shouldn't say much as I was an ******* on the kirkland onramp for abo an hour backwards. Had grandams all around. . . Sucked big. Tow bill and a ticket from the stater yay. Bad tires and wet roads are not nice. But now I have grandmas on the rear and r888s on the front heehee. You will grow to like the overseer my friend.

 

Damn that sucks. First rainy day after a period of long sunshine, I always go slow now regardless of what car I'm driving.

Hope everything works out for the better.

 

^^ yeah lol such bad luck oh well though i suppose.. here are some pics ^_^

 

holy ****.
you really did show that poles whos boss.
you might want to check all of the stuff around the damage area to make sure there still good.
were you trying to be m4d tyte str33t racing driftro and hit understeer or something?

 

^^ really just needs core support, radiator and shroud to get in decent condition.
no, took a turn around 20-25 and lost traction lol tried to correct it and fail. last time i try to make a yellow light T_T

 

let me be the first to say

that will buff out

suck to see in that condition man

 

Condolences. But that looks like a classic case of "target fixation." Hit that pole dead center. You were looking at the pole and hit it dead on rather than looking where you really wanted to go. A shame. Car looks repairable though.
All the Best,
Crispy

 

^^ yeah.. it shouldnt be too hard to fix. definitely have something to do for the summer now though.. sucks.. i was starting to like the paint job >_<

 

Sorry...

I like the boomerang shaped radiator in the second pic.

Engine is fine...?

 

yeah the engine didnt get touched

 

Well if it helps you get on the road quicker, I still have my front bumper for sale.

 

^^ i probably wont be getting on the road quick anytime soon lol. i work tomorrow for the first time in over a month so i has no moniez.. oh well. im just gonna junk yard everything and find an engine with like 60k in it while im there. ugh.. i miss my car T_T

 

I'm sure you can find a shell cheap. or just find one that was hit from the rear and swap the front clip. You can probably fix that without spending a fourtune.

 

sorry to hear about that... hey at least your ok right? you should be able to find a shell for pretty cheap.

 

^^ yeah, i'll have it running after not long. i found 2 complete shells for 100 for the pair in seabeck.. kind of far though >_<
