Damn.....you're pretty lucky. That makes me sick to my stomach to see it torn up like that. You could've been torn up just as bad.

Mine happened in Milpitas, CA. I was on my way home from work. It was the day before my birthday. Happy f'ing b'day to me. I was behind a little Nissan pickup. I was trying to merge into another lane. As I looked over my shoulder, the person in front of me stopped. I hit her doing like 10MPH. I wrecked the hood, bumper, driver side fender and the headlight. It needed a new center radiator support also. I drove it home. It would've been no big deal, but the a week later she said her neck hurt, so she went to the hospital. That instantly changes it from a 1 point incident to a 2 point incident; which changes my insurance significantly. It was $11k to repair the 2 cars. There was no damage to the suspension or intercooler in my car. I still wonder how the damage came up to that much. My car was $7k. I didn't know plastic was that expensive. Now I'm finding all of these things beneath my bumper that were repaired incorrectly. It's really irritating.

 

that sux man, i cant belive she said her neck hurt, bitch.... do you remeber the place that "fixed"your car for you, i would atleast go back and bitch them out... lol.... it sucks wrecking your Z, but, it could have been worse.... .... i couldnt take any stock stuff out of my car, b/c my insurnace company would deduct it off of the money they would give me back.... i was thinking about taking t-top shades, and stuff like that, but i talked to my insurance agent and she said to leave it b/c it would be deducted.... it kinda sucks, but it doesnt at the same time.... ill keep you guys updated on whats happening w/ the new Z, hopefully i will have it soon, but the lady selling it just had a death in her family, like 2 days ago, and i think it was her son, so i dont really want to bother her... other than that, im just looking for another TT z 94-95..... if u guys know of any in the Connecticut/New York/Jersey area, PM me thanks guys... later -dan

 

It was Stuttgart Motors in Redwood City, CA at the intersection of El Camino and Woodside Rd. Up until the other day, I thought they did a good job on it. On te outside it looked fine, but underneathe was a different story. They just swept crap under thhe carpet. So, if anyone is/was going to take their car there,....don't.

Since I don't live in the area anymore and it was 4 years ago, getting mad at them is a waste. They probably won't even remember it.

 

yea, thats true, they probably wont remember.... its amazing how people do such crappy work on cars that dont belong to them.... its bs.... every car i put a radio in, or an alarm in, or whatever, i treat it like its mine.... the installation turns out better, and people will come back to you in the future if you do a good job... that sux that you got jipped like that.... but anyway.... hows all the new stuff that you installed doing? hows the clutch and short shifter and all of that stuff doin?

 

It's goin' ok. I started nother thread 'mod updates'. It can be frustrating, but if I'm patient with it, then I should get through it just fine.

The clutch, short shifter and all that stuff came out fine. Sounds good, runs good, shifter's tight. I was able to get all of the rattles out of the center console. Only problem is that it still failed smog with the new cats and O2 sensors. I drove it for abouot 50 miles and then started taking stuff apart. The rest is history.
