^You're trolling, right...?
While I'll always love my Rotary, an LSX swap is one of the better swaps to do (with a reasonable budget, it's no 3 rotor!) |
no im not trolling. But if I wanted a 4 door corvette, I could just get a Pontiac G8 or a Cadillac CTS-V
nor do I think an RX8 transmission can handle that much power going through it. I guess its personal opinion.. I wouldnt do it |

Maybe he decided to put a honda engine in his RX8 :( that would be incredibly sad...
|
i dont think you should do this to your car
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3234543_n.jpg yes thats my car. dont do that. haha. sigh |
I knew long before I read the part about it being your car, that it was going to end up being your car lol.
Now are we talking about drifting it into the wall, or blacking out the side markers:P Cause both are a no no :P |
my car doesnt drift, and theres nothing wrong with blacked out side markers. Just, dont hurt your 8. I wasnt even trying to do anything, but luckily i didnt slam right into the beginning of the corner, otherwise i wouldnt be typing this right now
|
so how did you hit it? whats the extent of the damage? mostly your pride and paint? or is there some serious mechanical damage?
|
it slid to the left so i countersteered left, and then right, and momentum came in and said fuck you i want to go backwards, and i think i hit it from 30-50 mph.
and you see that rear wheel? see the divider? its putting the whole face onto the divider = broken axle. also im not sure about this, but the front wheel looks like its turned way too much, so that may be screwed up, i think someone has to verify that, as i dont have it in my possession right now. |

Sorry, I had to! That just popped in my head when I first read that. Definitely sucks to have a care about damaged... there were a bunch of insurance delays when my 8 was damaged so it took forever to begin work and get my car back. It was really frustrating to deal with but made me realize how much fun I had in that car. Hope you're able to get your car fixed and back on the road quickly. Since you have a LY, it's clearly an 04... how many miles? I'm sure it's crossed your mind, but I'd guess that insurance might consider that totaled. It's hard to tell exactly what all was damaged, but that passenger side door has me thinking there might be some serious bends in the frame with the way it's sitting. Not sure how you're hoping this to turn out, but hopefully things work out the way you'd like. |
I don't get what you mean by your first sentence? So no offense taken? And everything has crossed my mind, rare car, rare color, rare rims, damnit. It has 87k miles on it, but I needed it running to go to las vegas on tuesday.. So I'm hoping my parents will let me take the cadillac or something, as we have 2 other cars besides that. But if they total it, I'm fixing it myself, I need this car, I don't need any other car, just this one. I have a bond with it, and I'm not going to let a little accident break it
|
From another post you had I believe they did total it correct? How much is the buy back?
|
uhmmm,.. hmm...? no, we're releasing it to our insurance company to take it to a facility where they dont have a stupid holding fee per day.. so they're going to be picking it up tomorrow around noon. going to get my stuff out of it in the morning.
and take my spoiler off, to be or not to be? |
you talked about keeping the car though and fixing it, unless that rants done? just curious what the insurance company buy back is. (The amount the insurance company wants for you to buy back the car from them).
