RIP My Old Car
The owner called me and told me he had an accident in my old car...at the latest drift event. He tinkered with the suspension and it was off. Apparently...waaaay off. It's totaled and is going to be parted out.
Read the whole history on my car:

And please observe a moment of silence... :cry:

It's been sold for several years. It's been mostly in the same shape as when I sold it to him. He just recently started dicking with it. He went from the T04 I was running to a T03 ball bearing turbo. He put in a Supra transmission to hold up to the power and just put in an S13 rearend. He was shaking down the S13 rearend when he wrecked...
It was fun car...
Yeah, that McLaren ride was probably the most incredible experience I've had so far. It's an incredible incredible car.

That's too bad. I know how it feels except I crashed mine in my own hands  .
Great car and super fun to drive too. I still remember when you originally put the turbo in that thing, so light, so much power  .
Oh wells, you got better horses in your stable now anyways  .
I don't understand why he didn't shake it down before the competition?

Hey Stan. Their is a AE86 which my garage is working on right now for a customer and it has the same type of accident front left is totally bad.. Need a new fender, hood, radiator is damaged and the front frame is bent. The owner asked us to fix it. He did not want to total the car, he loves it so much... But I guess he did not see your car to really fall in love..
I'm very sorry to hear about your car. It really looked very good. Can you list the mods on the car and which engine the 16 valve or the 20 valve.

I agree with dani, It doesnt seem that the car is very damaged, specially it doesnt mean that the most relevant parts of the car such as the engine, transmission and specially the chassis doesnt seem very wrecked
