Sadly, the car is totalled :-(

Go ahead and check out my rx8. The deck is located in the trunk in the corner.

^^Do you ever take those driving lessons????

Waiting on gettings the funds, will most likely take them during the summer as I really don't have the funds right now. Once I get working full time in the summer, I'll be able to do it. Car is a blast and really just enjoying it right now. I do miss my 8 though, wish I still had it for a daily driver. If I still had the 8, I'd definatly be working on my FD as a project car.

Did you strip the custom head unit out or was it damaged. I remember your wreck thread, but I joined the forum slightly after this thread went dormant last August so I never saw the custom stereo install until now.

Seems like you could have resold that if it all still worked and recovered some of your loss.

suuhWEEEET. congrats on the screen. :)

Car was kept by insurance since it was labeled totalled, never bought car back to part out because insurance gave me all the money I paid for the car + $500 + the $5000 I put into the car. So I got all my money back paid for the car/mods + $500. I couldn't find out where they were selling the car either so I could buy it back and part things out, or I don't know the price either, probably would have been more than what I could of parted my things out for so it wasn't worth it.

Ug, tasteless comment considering he wrecked the car in one of the more grisley accidents we've heard about here on the forum.

-10 for not reading the last few posts or checking dates. :nono:

damn, man, talk about a sad tale, reading through this thread going from being impressed at the work and effort you put into the car to the sadness of its end. It gave me a sick feeling seeing all the incremental (and awesome improvments) and see the last update with the damage.

Sorry man, at least you were ok, and you got credit for all your mods and such.

ah so you're the one who bought BlueRex's FD. why was he selling it anyway? i forgot, but strange replacement, never heard of someone going from an rx8 to an FD. be careful with it though, those cars have an extremely high mortality rate and are about 10x more tail happy. deflate those rear tires no more than 28psi , keep under 8kg rated springs in the rear and don't run an aggressive rear sway bar for safety.
