Rx-7 got fucked again

Good luck with that. You are going to be hard pressed to get that, especially if you didn't have collectors insurance on it at the time of the accident. You can certainly try to do what was suggested and I honestly hope that you succeed. If you don't though, don't be suprised. Insurance companies, especially third party ones since it's not your insurance company that is paying for the claim, are not going to be near as easy to get that kind of money out of.

I hope it works out for you though, but I would get a second car and a lawyer because you will probably need both before that court case is settled.

good news guys I got the police report, the other driver admitted to hitting me and running from the scene because "he was scared". He had expired registration and is in jail facing multiple charges. I have the witness information, so they are getting a hand written thank you letter, A.S.A.P. So it's no longer a question of proving him guilty, its all a matter of working out a deal with his insurance company. I'm not asking for the N.A.D.A value of $3,200 plus the price-when-new of the mods ($3,304.80) at a total of $6,504.80 because it is unreasonable, but I am hoping I can settle this with at least $4,000 to try and get back into a car that is equally clean and capable.

Body shop quote for repair price: $2194.83

Now it just depends on what they value the car that'll decide what happens.

DONT GET ANOTHER ONE! damn!

[hseries4]

Why not? What do you recommend him to get?

[bigdare23]

Damn dude. You and RX7s seems like they don't mix well.

[87 Turbo II]

Yeah I know I see unlucky with 7s, but right now it's the only car I know well enough to fix just about anything for cheap, so another 7 it is.

UPDATE: I'm thinking I'm about to get around $2,200 from insurance. I'm gonig to buy a rolling shell for $400 and the other $1,800 is going into an engine build.
(4 port massive street and exhaust porting, higher compression and lighter rotors, Rx-8 stationary gears (for a 9,500 RPM redline), and a new exhaust that'll flow better)

Comming soon: A 210 whp N/A first gen with a better power to weight than a Lotus Elise.
