actually nm it is that bad i guess...i think im in denial..it's just that its a realll shame. everything from the fan shroud back is perfectly fine. there wouldnt be a reason to part it out or scrap it. maybe some custom welding of brackets and supports will do....monster garage styleeee
Unibody cars are a bitch to get back straight, there's alot of wrench and plasma cutter time there, I'm not sure if it would be worth the effort..shitty deal none the less.

I am having a hard time believeing that that was 20MPH... I hit a tree last spring at 20MPH and did about 1/10th the amount of damage to my car, and I hit on the side, not the front!



As far as the car goes, it's difficult to say if it's repairable or not.



Can you take a front end shot during the daylight from about 15' from the car, about 3 feet off the ground, DIRECTLY infront of the middle of the car?

You implied that:



Supras have rotaries.



Camaros are better than a 2nd gen RX-7 (I would assume you are talking about 86-91 camaros)



Third gens spool faster than an N/A Camaro...
The Supra and TII are both heavy, slow to react, and GT touring cars. NA FCs are more tossable and easy to drive, drift, autocross, and mod.



I was referring to late 90s Camaros that basically kick everyone's asses at autocrosses with the right tires, suspension, and driver. I also meant to imply that third gens spool quicker than TIIs and Supras, so they don't feel as turbo-doggish, but that's just my opinion, and I race my 7 in organized (legal) events unlike those of you with ego issues on this board. I see who wins the events and who is near the top consistently. I would venture to say that I know of a VW rabbit that would school 99% of you on an autocross course, but they're not 1.3l or rotary or whatever $hit excuse you want to use to justify not liking it.



I like cars that are fast, agile, and make sense to own. In other words, I like cars that are functional, and I don't fall for the aura of TIIs just because many people would rather have one than an NA.

MKIII supras and TII's both weigh a LOT different. MKIII"s are at like 3500 and TII's are like 2900 for the series 5. You can easily do weight reduction on TII"s where on MKIII's any sort of weight reduction only messes up the 60/40 weight distribution even more.

well me and my dad talked about it last night. we might pickup a beater(possibly a friends acura integra). while using that to get to work and beat. i might try to find a shell with a nice paint job with bad motor/tranny and decent interior. i'll take everything from the one i have now and drop it in the shell. i just want primarily nice paint and interior. if i were to get a paint job it would be an expensive quality one. all of the money i put into the 7 was motor work and i originally bought it for 1000. so not much that im losing. then i'll sell the tail lamps and panels( whatever i dont need).
