Garage door frame kiss, after trying to squeeze past my roommates car in the driveway...DAMN IT!!



FIRST TIME: remember a couple years ago I had to buy a rear bumper cover from you...I backed into a dumpster

Sucks!

seems like most are just consmetic damages... no frame and mechanical damages... right?



did you drive it home?

Yea Martin, It's all astetic damage. Only fucked up the bumper, fender, headlight cover and the wheel well liner.



FdNewbie (Rami) already offered up a front bumper. Roan (SpeedNYC) did too but Rami's is local so Im getting that this weekend. I'll likely have to buy a fender and the other two parts. Should not halt progress on the tuning. The car is at PFS and will be tuned and dynoed in the next two-three weeks. I'll get the parts painted when I get her home.

I didn't cry but I did blurt out a few four letter words quietly to myself. Such a stupid way to wreck a car.

i would jamb the fender and the headlight cover, hang it on the car, then spray the rest all at once with the bumper seperate



its good you didnt bang up any of that super flexible metal in that area

oil cooler looks out of whack dave...

dude, im sorry

That just plain sucks. Thats what I'm scared of doing, which is why I do not drink, get high or answer my phone when I'm driving my 7. Hope you get it sorted soon.

Damn dude , hope you get her fixed quickly...



^^ Im the same , I dont drink or eat , or talk on my cell when im driving the 7

sorry to hear/see that dave, its just cosmetic and im sure it will be fixed soon.

Two more weeks and it will be done.

If you are looking for some cash I can send you the paypal money for the calipers

ouch. that sucks. but hey, **** happens.

I'm sure it will all work out good. Just make sure you get a good body shop. My car is two toned now after someone backed into her at a parking lot. I wondered why my car had a weird reflection as I saw her in the distance when I stpped off the train.... 2000 bucks, and the mazda logo on the bumper isn't raised evenly anymore... the paint doesn't match, and you can see the primer still in certain parts.... what a piss off... should've gone the shop that quoted me 2500 ... they were highly recommended by they were across town and I was cheap at the time... FCUK...

That's why I do my own painting. As far as the color match. I still have about two quarts of base and some clear left from when I did the hood and hatch last summer. Thed hard part is finding a decent used fender. I got the rest all lined up.

Dave - how is the car coming along?

First off I sold my T04R before Ray got to the tuning. I bought Ernies' T-88. So that held things up a bit because of trying to cordinate getting the kit etc. So anyway I went to see Ray at Malloy today and picked up the drivers fender and headlight cover. I ended up buying a PFS front facia and the wheel well liner from Fritz Flynn about two weeks ago. I am heading up to PFS tomorrow to pull the TO4 off my car and swap on the T88. Ernie is supposed to meet me there to drop it off and buy a trailer off Ray. I am going to get the new body parts mounted and on the car so I can drive it back home to my shop where I will pull the stuff back off to paint it. The T88 should be tuned and dynoed I would guess by next week as I know Ray is sick of looking at my car.

It should be good. Got a new front end and a sick deal on a nice turbo kit. I can't complain.

whoa, u have a nice color too... gl with the fix

Holy ****, a T-88? That is gonna be one bad ass bitch! I can't wait to see that. What are you going to tune it at? Still 15psi?

wow, didn't expect that!!!



good luck!



I've made some "out of the ordinary" purchases for myself lately. Not sure what it was, but I got some sort of bug.

Ouch, to bad Dave. But as long as its just cosmetic dammage its all good.



T88, thats huge, and good luck with the lagg. Sounds like your looking to drag it only anyway.
