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.

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

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!

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

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?

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