[fireball_jones]

Ohhhhhhhhh ... that's not good. Is everyone ok? I see German engineered airbags there....

[aimetti]

oh wow. it doesnt look tooo too bad am i right? Mostly body work ?

[fantomas]

yea, everyone is ok. noone was in my car. only a 17 year old female driver in that car (i swear she looked like whe was at least 25). i was travelling down the road, driving a reasonble speed, when out of nowhere, this chick pulls out from the left from a taco bell franchise, and attempts to cut down a side street. well, needless to say, she obviously wasn't judging my speed AT ALL, gave me maybe 40 feet to go from 45ish-0 (or something thereabouts). slammed on my brakes, hit the horn, and skidded right into her. absolutely nothing i could do. yes, i was speeding (speed limit is 30), but i was driving reasonably.

[fantomas]

a little frame shift...body panels.... the car "wet" itself (decided to do a coolant flush on its own) so i would imagine the radiator needs to be replaced.

i want to bring it to a subaru dealership, but the guy that came to tow my car was trying to get me to leave the car with them. my friend picked me up and we followed the flat bed to the shop he had to bring it to just to see where it is (its located in one of THE worst places on long island). we were talking about cars and i asked him how much it would cost, and how long it would take, etc, and he said without lifting the hood, he thinks about $6k. he then goes on to tell me how the front bumper cover will cost at least $800 alone because "European parts cost more than Japanese" i thought maybe he mixed up the words but than said my car was Euro again. my freind was about to stab him with a pen. i informed him that my car is, indeed, Japanese. I made my decision then and there to call a local subie dealer first thing in the morning.

[iwanbo]

I lol'd at the hubcap stuck in the bumper, but damn man :(

The same sort of accident happened to my brother. Person pulled out to cut across traffic, didn't judge my brothers speed correctly and he locked his brakes and slid into her. She was found at fault and the insurance company totaled the car.

Hope all goes well man :(

[SBW]

that sucks, im really sorry

[fantomas]

kind of hope my car gets totalled and i can unmarry the AP and grab the headunit (and roof vent from my trunk). if its not totalled, i'll see what i can to maybe get a set of HIDs up front.

[abnormal]

DAMN, that sux!!!

hope yer all ok an everything works out good man.

[Judau]

Ouch. >_< That's really too bad. :-\ Hopefully things go well with the dealership... good luck!!

[iwanbo]

Also Scott, did you take pictures of the intersection and the road for signs of skidmarks and whatnot?

[fantomas]

i got one of the intersection, but didn't notice any skidmarks.

[fireball_jones]

If you FUBAR'd the radiator and headlights, it's probably totaled. Them parts ain't cheap OEM, not to mention you can count on a good 5-6k worth of body work/painting.

[fantomas]

lets cross our fingers. maybe i'll get an '01 rs and spend the rest in mods

[kawikid20o2]

Aw man, that sucks, it was only a few days ago that we were chillin at the car show...she looked fine there. Now look. Damn Vdub drivers! My accident with my jeep way back b4 the golden suby years invloved a vdub.

Anyways I am really sorry to hear about it, hopefully the situation is resolved in your favor.

that sucks scott-aroo...have it towed to somewhere u can take all the mods off before the insurance gets their hands on it ;)

[fireball_jones]

That's what I was thinking when my car was in the shop. Could have been fun.

Depending on the adjuster, you can tell them you think the car should be totalled, and they'll add in anything questionable.

[fantomas]

last night when i was thinking about the coolant that spilled, i secretely hoped that my engine was cracked.

[fantomas]

i should buy a '96 l wagon for $2k, drop a version 7 sti drivetrain in for $8k and use the other $7k for a massive CSC party.

A 97 may work better since they are both OBD 2. But it's possible to go that route if all you want is the sniffer test like me. :) But wiring may be a pain though.

oh yea, anyone that cares, i got a cobalt ls. biggest POS i've ever driven, and i've driven some lemons. only thing thats powered on there is the steering.

and its not like its been abused. i received the car with about 85 miles on it. i tried adjusting the driver's side mirror from the inside, and it wouldn't adjust high enough. i had to manually roll down the window and physically push the mirror myself. damn i'm lazy. however, its kind of fun pushing a car with 86 miles to limit (it has 135+ now).

well, heres the deal. the plan the whole time (from before i crashed my car) was for my parents to come down in two seperate cars on thursday, go to my honor society induction dinner, pack all three cars, and drive home. then after the accident, it went down to two cars going back on thursday. now that i can get everything off my car, if its totalled, i think they'll get a hotel down here for thursday night, and friday morning i go and replace the parts on my car and we pack up and go back to CT.

i don't think any of you want to take a trip down here and then have to go up to mass the following day. thanks though

I'm telling you dude. You should t-bar it up...

Note: I know it's not a real t-bar, but it's all I could find on short notice... Actually I'm just lazy.

[brent]

i think hes thinking more of the newer mr2's (mr-s) as opposed to the older ones that are the HOTNESS! :)

[fantomas]

yes, i'd prefer a newer car.. and i'm referring to the spyder. i found one in bridgeport i'll probably test drive tomorrow

[boost2the_moon_ej20]

:devil: Well I'm sure it'll still handle like a go-kart. Drive the wheels off the thing for me though at least.

[fireball_jones]

New MR2s are girly, girly cars.

[fantomas]

i've never noticed more girls driving them than guys and i was unaware that a mid engine rear wheel drive car is girly. unless you're grouping all 2 seat convertables as girly :confused: (z3, z4, m roadster, porsche, s2000) or maybe its the fact that it kind of has bug eyes :p which would give it a connotation of a neon (which we've by FAR disproved) or just the fact that its a toyota and every girl i know either drives a toyota [corolla] or a honda civic which would make the s2000 a girly car, no?

i won't make an opinion until i get in it and take it for a spin, but please, tell me whats so girly about them? (keep in mind i would never get a RED one though) :scott:

[brent]

i think the new mr-s's are hotness. a simple lip kit or even just dropping them a bit with some larger wheels will make it look very nice. and theyre pretty rare, so you wont see them around ALL the time. id do it :)

looking forward to your test drive opinions on them though. never heard anything about them or had anyone i knew that drove one, so let us know how they are man!

[iwanbo]

MR2's are awesome. It's like a go-kart! vroom vroom here I go down the slope zip zop zoobity bop!

[fireball_jones]

MR2s got sold as the "I'm a middle aged woman and my husband won't buy me a Porsche" car. They got lumped right in with the Z3, Miata, and Boxster (no S).

Don't get me wrong, I'd rock a mid engined rear wheel drive car, but everything I've read about the MR2 said it had no engine... kind of defeats the purpose. Test drive it though, let us know how it goes!

[JHawley]

I like them... mid engined rear drive and lets not forget the avaible sequential 5 speed...

[fantomas]

its actually kind of funny being taken over-serious by showing up in a shirt and tie to test drive a car. reason being is that when i test drove the miata it was right after a job interview and tomorrow morning i have another interview. i think after every interview i go on ima have to test drive a new car.

You didn't know?

SUITS LIE.
When I went to test drive the MCS I showed up after work in my dress cloths. Got treated really well and got to take one out with less than 10 miles on it :dance:

[Judau]

Well, I *would* consider the MR-S more "girly" than an old MR2 Turbo... but regardless, this would just be for this summer, then either another WRX or GC8 RS? I'm not a fan of convertables, but handling wise, I'm sure the MR-S is up there. I still like the newer Miatas and the S2000 more, though.

I think the roughest thing would be going from AWD and tons of space with the wagon, to something that's spin happy and can't hold more than a suitcase. :P

For a 2005, that is a lot of miles.. 55k in one year is monocle popping. That may explain why it's so cheap.
Looks like he has the SPT exhaust on it as well :)

[fireball_jones]

Apparently it has traction control, and powered leather seats too :confused:

And he could have bought it in mid 2004 like I did. 55k is, um, a bit much, but it could be almost 2 years old.

yea, the only thing is the car has to be 16k and i need to be able to trade in the svx.

in other words, the new car must = $13k + svx [out the door].

[iwanbo]

You'll get more selling the SVX outright than you will with a trade-in. Sure it's a "rare" Subaru, but the dealership won't care. They'll take it in for 1k trade, then sell it to someone for 10k.

Hey I just bought metric taps and dies. Also putting together a new toolbox for small electronic stuff. New soldering iron on the way too. Soon I'll be ready for mass quantity fabrication of the auto up/down. Lemme know how things are going.

What are you going to do with the SVX now? That was an expensive rental car ;)

nice!
we'll be able to churn these out then

i ended up with some redesign to sense and limit the motor current incase something gets stuck in the window as it goes up.

after this is done i want to add led rear fogs and have them look factory

do you have aim?

[turbo_turtle]

yes, churning will happen.

You added a diode?

after this is done I want to add an auto down by way of manipulating the key fab/remote (holding the unlock) and also, I want to change the LED integrated brake light in the wing of +02 WRX so that it lights more/less LEDs depending on brake pedal pressure.

aim = coffee with pika

That would be completely awesome.

[iwanbo]

From what I've read about the LED conversion for brake/headlights, is at night it is totally awesome and bright. During the day, it is meh bright and not that great.

Hey Dan, interested in doing my foglight mod...

These rear fogs are interesting... what other ideas are you brewing up

[abnormal]

You added a diode?

i'm lost, a diode for?

add a diode to you're 1.8t VW/Audi and you have yourself a wanna be "chip" but with limitations to throttle position (you only get low or high lol) little fun fact i suppose and has nothing to do with this thread, so i leave.
