Rip Ej8 :(
 
Today on Elephant rd and 113 someone ran a stop sign and plowed into the passenger corner of my coupe. Bumper is gone, my lip was thrown 50 feet down the street, headlight doesn't even exist, frame rail is bent a good foot in, windsheild was smashed and I got a face full of airbags. I'm almost positive that it's going to be totalled out.

I'm fine, the driver of the other car admitted full responsibility to the cops, and the engine/trans/turbo setup seem to be ok.

Just really ****ing pissed right now...

sherwood 07-12-2007 11:02 PM

damn dude...good thing your ok! thats the most important...same thing happen to me 4 months ago...im still waiting for court.

jspek 07-12-2007 11:03 PM

ah man im sorry. your car rocked too.

DoubleOughtCel 07-12-2007 11:20 PM

Glad to hear you're ok. F the car, you can buy another one.

CHAOS 07-12-2007 11:25 PM

glad to see ur ok man...

turbo4g63 07-12-2007 11:56 PM

NOOOOOOOOO...your civic was seriously one of the only civics i actually liked on here. are you going to be able to at least strip all the parts off the car?


glad to hear you are ok though

Ion22 07-13-2007 12:10 AM

Glad to here your ok!!!

Nors 07-13-2007 12:14 AM

Damn clean car, good luck with everything.

james_ls 07-13-2007 12:20 AM

Jay Raguz actually JUST told me about this...

...Sorry to hear dude...at least you walked away.

SovXietday 07-13-2007 12:44 AM

Thanks guys, I'm glad I'm ok too.

I'm thinking they're just going to total it and let me buy it back and then I'll strip it down and move the setup into another car then sell all the parts I don't need. I have to see what the insurance company will give me for the car though.

Kind of looking for a champ white 99-00 coupe, or just get exactly what I have now and swap everything back in and go from there.

Really sucks but it will work out for the best I'm sure, thanks again guys! Pics will be here tomorrow.

jrtcbmw 07-13-2007 12:51 AM

The most important thing is you are ok, the car is just a car, it can be replaced.

can wait to see what you have up your sleeves for your next project. It can only be better than before.

Sberk06 07-13-2007 02:43 AM

if they do end up totalling it out, buy that 99 si blue civic for 8k obo and throw everything into that.

like everyone said, good to see your ok, and we'll hope for the best with getting the car back (not totalled hopefully)

Gorilla Unit 33 07-13-2007 03:30 AM

damn man im sorry to hear about your loss. Lemme know if you need any help with swapping that motor out and/or into something else. I know of a guy selling a 94 dx hatch clean NO RUST (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...C01794copy.jpg) I may be able to get you a good deal on it also. let me know! until then best of luck and let me know if i can help you out.

Sberk06 07-13-2007 03:56 PM

damn that hatch is clean, how much is he selling it for?

Intercooled T 07-13-2007 04:01 PM

if they total it and you buy it back, let us know how much they sell it back for. i'm always curious how they figure out what its worth junked

Damn that is pretty clean. However I'm an EK guy, EGs really just aren't my thing. Find me a stock EK hatch/coupe with no rust and I'm all ears. :)

Car was totalled out today. I got 5800 for it, and the buy back is going to be 580. I guess 10% of what it's worth is the buy back? Who knows, but I'm still getting a good chunk of cash back for it.

And of course the carnage pics. Bent the frame rail all sorts of ****ed up ways, forced the entire front of the car to shift about an inch over to the driver side, smashed the windsheild, airbags went off, it even creased the roof on the car. Only thing I lost aftermarket wise was the cold side IC piping, wheel and suspension don't seem to have a scratch.

I will miss her dearly, but it won't be long till the heart lives in a new body.

Dave 07-13-2007 06:54 PM

man that sucks. did the rims survive

jrtcbmw 07-13-2007 07:02 PM

is it still down at your dads work? did you start taking it apart?

that hurts to see, you were just getting it done. at least you get a good chunk of change for your next project.

jc8889 07-13-2007 07:03 PM

Time to move on to something else..............

Not sure about the one, there is no physical damage that I can see but I have to throw it on the balance wheels and find out. The suspension survived which is much more expensive than a Rota with a blad tire.:lol:

Blkmax 07-13-2007 11:06 PM

that sucks man, it was a nice car...i used to love reading your kill stories with it haha...but i guess life goes on, and you'll be back up in no time!

foss 07-13-2007 11:38 PM

Damn I'm truly sad to see this bro, I loved your car. I remember you from waaay back in the day on fightrice forums.

Honduh 07-14-2007 02:02 AM

SovXietday 07-16-2007 09:30 PM

yeah thats nice also (if he doesnt want to go through with swpping over the old d-series), but need i mention craigslist has one hell of a k-series Rsx base motor deal on it right now for 1500 full swap harness ecu and all

boostedfury 07-16-2007 10:33 PM

damn man sry to hear about that but how the hell did u pick that hatch up for 300 jesus

SovXietday 07-16-2007 10:48 PM

Nope, going Dseries all the way. I've got the entire setup and I've put all the work into it, it's going in the hatch and I'm going to enjoy it fully.

If I can find a 99-00 front end somewhere local for cheap I'll be all over it, if not I don't have any problems rocking the 96-98 front end since no one else does.

Car's getting converted to power windows/doors/mirrors next, then comes the new paint job, then comes the engine swap... again lol.

As for how I got the price, I have no idea. I still can't believe I just got an entire running car for the same price my boost controller cost... LOL!

foss 07-16-2007 11:15 PM

Where'd you find it? Are you planning on using your old wheel/suspension setup as well?

allspoolin4 07-16-2007 11:27 PM

wow dude that sucks soo gahdamn bad, glad to hear you're alright and that you picked up that hatchie for 300 woop, you gotta give me some pointers about the turbo setup, im putting a t3/t4 in soon....

boostedfury 07-17-2007 12:04 AM

Honduh 07-17-2007 12:09 AM

Yep, I love those wheels to death, Rota's or not. I'm trying to save as much money as I can with all of this, I don't really want to blow all 5K just because I have it. Same suspension too, Koni + Grounds FTW.

Allspoolin, let me know man, I'm happy to help out. :)

This car was traded in at the Keenan dealership for $100, dunno why. They let me take it for $300. Hell, I found the coupe for $500 off some chick who ran it out of oil, and it helps that Honda's are a dime a dozen too.
