The White Beast

Hit up that dude on nasioc in a hurry, in fact I would just wire him the $ now.

 

I've already PM'd him. But wifey is very against it I dunno if I want to put in the hours for the swap.....Doug said it's 75-100 hrs worth of work.

 

Sigh decisions like this suck.

 

Dude, you better jump on that for $1k!

 

Holy crap it sucks to see this happen

 

swap or fail

 

I've got a stock 5mt you can swap in before they total it.

 

This is sad man..sorry to hear about your loss. This is my first time seeing this post. I apologize for my lateness

 

Car sold for 1300

 

You have a stock motor too? If you do and can spare a 5 sp and motor I'll refund you the money ASAP once I sell things.

 

The 5 speed has a diff whine but I'm sure that happened in the accident. I also have the parts to slap together something that would resemble a motor

 

Hmmmm wonder if slapping something that 'resembles' a motor can be considered fraud?

Also probably gonna matter too as they are documenting it as 'running'.

 

Them documenting it as "running", ain't worth your drive train, or the $ to return it back to stock, etc. I would weigh if the insurance claim is worth all the trouble.

Just keep her for a minute and get a beater pick up, or whatever and then pick up the pieces and take it from there on your own. Fuck the insurance company! Shit your rates will stay lower that way.

 

very sorry to see this, especially after all the work u put in . GL with insurance and other stuff.

 

I would cash out of pocket to fix it. Buy parts at deep discount, do some removal/teardown/prep yourself and have the body shop do what you cant do. As long as there is no structural damage, most of it is bolt on stuff. Paint work is all I see not being done yourself....unless you have those supplies.

Milo's wreck took out the A/B/C pillar when it rested on some trees...that was his problem. Plus suspension damages. Looks like you just need a control arm+body parts.

 

We'll see what happens when they put it up on the racks. Body guy that does all the appraisal stuff said that he thinks the entire under side of the unibody is tweaked because BOTH of the front wheels are pushed back.

We'll see. I'm hoping it's fixable and all but at the same time no biggy if it's not. Just a car.

 

It takes a shit ton more force than a ditch to move the unibody. Both control arms are bent.

 

Maybe Chuck Norris was laying in the ditch....

 

could be.

I've seen some super hard hits...and the frame/unibody was straight in regards to control arm bolt locations. The control arm was obviously a different story...:rofl:

 

Out of my hands though. I'm at the mercy of what the insurance says. I don't care. If they fix it I'm selling the car.

I have already found my next car. Decided against a truck for a daily due to gas and a waste of road without steady hauling something. I have a beater hard body nissan to haul things with.

Next car is 95% sure gonna be: E46 M3.

Pimp, looks hot, and I won't be tempted to do anything with it. Done, done, and done.

 

why sell if you get it fixed though?

 

Cause I'm tired of it. Tired of the constant worries. And I want something luxurious.

 

I call BS

 

:wiggle:

On what the M3 or leaving it alone. The E46 M3 has always tickled me fancy. Especially the Phoenix yellow and the Leguna Seca Blue.

 

leaving it alone... have you ever driven one.. they aren't that fast. It will be a matter of time before you swapping on the euro headers, exh, airbox, and a 125hp shot of nawz

 

the problem with that is you will be lucky to get 13K, I personally would just part the thing out, every piece and be done with it. Should get around 8K or more just for the eng/tranny.

 

worries will not end with the m3. Mine was in the shop ALOT more than youd think.

 

I have 7 friends with M3's with zero issues. Maybe you just drove the crap out of yours.

 

I dunno if I'd get that much for engine/tranny.

If I part out, I was thinking the engine for $2000, rotated kit for $1500, tranny for $2500.

 

isn't that how you drive? It's how I drive...
whatever you do don't let them total that car out with that eng and tranny, shit a weekends worth of work is an extra 5K minimum.

 

If they total the car I'll buy it back.

And no I don't drive like that. I drove the Suby hard but I don't drive like an idiot....you proved that at Taco Mac in the parking deck when you almost hit those poor ladies.

 

*knocks on wood* I haven't put my car in a ditch!

 

Ahem mine hasn't been in a wall either on a track day and mine been to Roebling numerous times.

 

^^^Hahaha we both said same thing at same time.

 

damn near, almost but NOT...where's the proof of said wall. Cohen keep that shit on lockdown!

 

me too, I went exactly where my eyes told me to go but was having problems with my vision that night. lol

 

i was there, too :wiggle:

 

I am sure that car rental place would love to see the video I have...lets agree to STFU

 

hmm i have some pics.

 

touche...forgot about that...damnit...

 

Likely replacement. Hope it's available when I get the cash.

 

SMG FTL, they have a lot more problems than the 6 speeds. But looks damn good otherwise.

 

Did anyone local (atl) buy the wrx?

 

SMG is faster than the manual. SMG has zero issues if you drive it like you got some sense. I'm not doing anything stupid in this car. This will be my daily.

 

Don't worry about who bought the car. If they want you to know, you will.
