That's gotta suck. Oh well I guess next time you will probably think twice before pushing in the rain.....

It all depends what you really want. It will cost a bit to fix if your not insured. depends if you really like that car and want to hang on to it or if it is time to move onto something else. ultimately the decision is yours.

you'd make more by stripping it down for parts than selling as whole, but this can be time consuming to do, if you repair it will obviously need a cut/shut on atleast the right rail/skirt and rad support, though the left also looks damaged, if the chassis behind the firewall is also damaged I wouldn't even bother with fixing

on another note if you sell parts I'd be interested in front/rear brakes

Hi People

Just an update!

I am looking today to get prices of either to wreck or repair, heading towards a wreck, noticed a few people interested in certain things, this process may be time consuming but ill do my best. everything i decide to sell will be in condidtion it was before the crash, i wont sell fudged parts. ill be back on SAU tonight hopefully with more concrete info.

Thankyou for your thoughts so far, greatly appreciated so far

My Baby!! :down:

hello again people

well today a wreckers gave me a rough quote without looking at the car roughly $4000 the lot, i am waiting on another quote but heading towards being happy with taking anything around the $4000 to $5000 mark hopefully. paid all up around the $26000 in total so its kinda hurting alot. but if anyone came up with those figures well? for those interested in parts the final decision will be made tomorrow as the other wreckers may not be able to come out till tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
