yo yo yo

just got my two quotes,

it seems that the spacesaver saved my boot from caving in further - so the thing is f**ked

first guy said 6-8k for the repair,

and the 2nd guy said around 8k - possibly needing a rear cut..

fuuuuuuuuck!

Get old mate to just buy you another car

[astrotristan]

yeeh - f**king looking that way

[Nismo_Boy]

yeeh - f**king looking that way

Should able to find a few in that price range, keep you good bits and swap it over.

[Beelzebub89]

ouch thats f**kin harsh. Buying a donor car sounds like the go. What did his insurance say?

[astrotristan]

they're submitting the quotes through tonight..

so havent heard anything from his guys yett

[Smity42]

damn it must be pretty smashed

Whats it insured for? Might still be financially viable to repair at that price

[astrotristan]

its insured for 12k, so yeeh..

dont kno whats going to happen hey

[GTR.Lady]

Aslong as you dont install some hectic chromies with perfect narrowbody fitment we should be sweet.

Track car ftw Wish I could afford another one. Best I can afford atm is a 31 or something. We'll see in december

1. I don't like chromies.

2. I hate people that put body kits on there car and they can't lower it where the wheels are in the guard, hence buying a Nismo kit for it that is the same height as the stock kit

And 31's are awesome! (I use to have one)

8k is only 2/3 of the value of the car so you might get it repaired. If not just hope they give you the whole 12k n buy another one

[astrotristan]

yeh i hope so too

mmy34 - nice 34

[GTR.Lady]

Thanks & good luck with your car

If only my boss knew what I do at work (on the forums) lol

jeez how annoying.. didnt think it was that bad though, isnt $8k a little overpriced?

basicaly what you need is a rear bar, a boot lid and straightening out the rear end..

now the first two items you can get for less than $1k?

[astrotristan]

yo wolf!

man wat we didnt see the other night is that the whole boot floor as crumpled..

the 8k was only an estimate - we'll find out more in the next few dayss..

It'll be cheap if you source it yourself definately but if you're letting someone else do the job its an entirely different story. First they will get all brand new geniune parts, second mark up 30% 40% (just look at my charge rate at work... 135/hr to client)? And third, their time/contacts. These would make your 2-3k job easily 5-7k. But I do agree 8 seems unreasonable.

If I were you... try to get the full 12k and save the rest up and get a GTR ! I pack my lunch/cook dinner for more than a yr to get mine =P

[Brandon]

Hope the drive to Tingalpa wouldnt take me 1hr later...

[astrotristan]

brandon you car is amazing - but its 4wd!

im a man of my rwd hahaha

ill straight swap you though

[GTR.Lady]

It sucks that you got hit, even if it is fixed, they never are the same

[Beelzebub89]

Its a good deal Brandon. Tristans car does epic skids

I dont think 8k is unreasonable. It would be a fair amount of work to straighten up the car properly and things will always come up which are unexpected. Its probably a 6k job but the guy has given himself a buffer.

PS: GTR + RWD Mode?...
