so i got into a little fender bender last night after pickin up a friend from work. noone was hurt except the cars. just always make sure you check your blind spots when you pull away from a curb. this is what happened to my car from cutting off my friend in his 93 rx7.

That sucks man! I know what it feels like to have a damaged car.. You always wonder why the hell you have insurance until something like that happens.

no its pretty normal seein as most of my friend drive rx's. i just happened to be pulling away from the curb as one of my friendds was pulling up to park a couple car lengths in front of me and BAM!!!! his front passenger side was into my door.

and yes this was around midnight last night.

cyclone1208 08-07-2009 09:42 AM

rodjonathan 08-08-2009 05:48 PM

dam sorry to see ... any pics of the 7?

thejew89 08-09-2009 02:39 PM

so when i went to get pics of the seven on friday i got there right after the tow truck had left from picking up the car so sorry guys i couldnt get pics of it. i can tell you the the front passenger fender was messed up, the bumper was pushed over towards the drivers side, the headlight was stuck up and pushed over a bit, the sidemarker was broken out, and the tie rod end was bent so badly to where when the wheels were straight it looked kinda like this ! \ . for being such a slow speed wreck it caused a ton of damage to his car

agcutie03 08-14-2009 05:44 AM

Updates on this Brian? How's it coming? And wtf, are you signed on at 545 a.m. too? For real? Or just passed out without signing off...

thejew89 08-14-2009 06:04 AM

no im signed on all right and the updates so far are the car is still at the body shop getting fixed is all i know.

i havent heard from the body shop yet and the car has been there since monday.

but on a good note i got a freaking sweet rental!!!!!!! lmao! its a blue convertible pt loser.

thejew89 08-17-2009 02:33 PM

i finally got to see the car today when i went to drop off some parts they needed to get painted along with the car, so far all the dents are knocked out and under bondo except for the back door. the back door is lacking bondo and final sanding and they said i should have the car back by the end of the week. i cant wait to get my car back.

deadphoenix52 08-17-2009 03:08 PM

good to hear!

Attachment 275311

now i just need to get my new rx8club sticker for my fender and wait until they get a few parts of the appearance package i dropped off with them painted should be back to 110% by next weekend

rotarygod 08-24-2009 05:09 PM

So whatever happened to the FD? Did the impact cause it's turbos to fail, an apex seal to break, a coolant seal leak, or did it overheat? Sitting in traffic will cause those all to fail so I would think a minor impact would cause it to go Hindenburg!

WTBRotary! 08-24-2009 09:53 PM

^^^ ??? .....

thejew89 08-24-2009 11:05 PM

no just broke his steering rack, bent his tie rod end, rashed a wheel, bent the fender, broke his headlight, bent his front bumper, and broke his side marker light. he just got his car back today and it looks flawless they repainted the entire front end and blended the paint all the way back to the rear quarter panels so it looks like a brand new 7.

oh yeah and it bent his intercooler piping but im not sure how

cyclone1208 08-25-2009 07:17 AM

what body shop did you go to? I have a dent in my driver side fender for a year now and want to get it fixed. Any suggestions?

thejew89 08-25-2009 01:07 PM

auto tech services on lonestar rd here in mansfield they do amazing work

It was sarcasm based on the fact that while awesome, the FD was one of the most unreliable cars ever built.

rotarygod 08-25-2009 04:58 PM

I've owned several 1st and 2nd gens and I've never had a serious issue. I'm not counting the things that I messed up!

thejew89 08-25-2009 05:37 PM

ive only got my 8 and my 2nd gen but im putting a 12a in it cuz i dont want to have to fix all the wiring from where rats ate it so im gonna get the lights to work and wire up the ignition and starter on my fc and then some lights and a few electric fans.
