crashed my rx-8 today
hay every bad news i just crashed my rx-8 today. 
no one was hurt or anything but my car the back of the car is pretty munched everything is fix able but lot of work is needed but the worst thing was my ti exhaust was fucked but we going to see if we can fix it fingers crossed & my new back bumper is totaled sucks then my front not to bad just need few fiberglass done to it .
the reason i crashed was my good mate (Brettus) was showing me his car 6speed manual rx-8 then i was bit shocked from this car that it was so much quicker
then we disaded to use the g-tech to measure the speed of my car then. the first test we did i got a shocking result.
then there was no second result lol because i crashed i was going to hard on the corner then i didn't see the car in front me then i got scared probly so i push down on the brake(bad move bad move) then yea pretty much we ended up on a farm lol i think brettus has a picture of the car crashed i need to get it off from him .
now my car is at brettus's house sleeping.
now this a good chance of selling my auto rx-8 then geting a 6speed manual.
thinking of painting my rx-8 back to winning blue or just do a same sort of blue but bit deffrent so i can say it custom paint job so i get bit more money.
TO EVERY ONE WITH AN AUTO do not try to race a manual 6 speed rx-8 it just doesn't work ay lol even if you have turbo/supercharger it probley not that quicker if the 6speed if the 6 speed is done up little bit.
i can say i lost fate in my auto rx-8 but i found new hope with the 6speed manual

Sorry to hear about that mate. Glad no one was hurt though. By the way you put it, it seems to mostly be exterior body work - right?
Anyhow, looks like you walked away with a lesson not mentioned in your post: its not a good idea to race in the city/town in the first place.
Good luck.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Thank God no one was hurt. Once I had a Honda Accord coupe flipping over my hood and crashed. My friends were in the other car. It was such a relief that they were all ok. And its good to know you are too. =)

my sugestion ............ just get carbon fiber parts .... the money you have to pay for paint / body work would be about the same.
2k for doors / hood looks ok
600 for front bumper piece -- various inserts can be picked up form a junk yard.
a few spot welds and your done
..... also as for reselling .... you can boast about the lightwieght carbon fiber ...

how much those rx-8 paperweights go for now days?
on a serious note, sorry to hear about your accident. glad everyone came out alive, minus your car. it looks like its almost a totaled job. hard to believe damage to right and front like that and no frame damage came of it..
