    Default Fix it or swap it?

    My cousin had a car wreck and He's undecided on what to do. I know for sure he doesn't want insurance to have the car(They are wanting to total it). He either has a JDM B16a or b(guessing b16a) that he doesn't want to part with.. So anyway, should he try to fix this or swap his setup into a 97 del sol?



    Assuming the engine is still good that is.

    swap it....you'll need alot of money to fix it and crx parts arent that easy to find.

    let the insurance total it out....and just put a d15 in it before they pick it up.

    He's looking at another crx to swap into I think. I would have went with the del sol just to switch it up and drop the top from time to time.

    that'll cost more than what the car is worth.

    Just let the insurance company total it, then retain the salvage. They will only take like 150 off the value of the car if you keep it. Then you can sell the damn shell to a junkyard once he's done with it to a junk yard for like 100bucks.
