[JdM_JunKiE]

off the subject but does anyone have used tires

205/50/16 & 225/50/16 or 235/50?

[honda_bar]

some tool made a left right in front of me... turns out that I don't have uninsured motorist! I can't believe it. I'm talking to his moms ins hopefully soon... I might get screwed on this one.... I will post pics later. I'm just waiting for his moms ins to call. IF something like that doesn't work out, then I will get an estimate (im guessing about $2000-2500) I will hit him up for the stuff without ins and see what I can get...

Condo is very limitted.. u can't do crap. Can't turn compressor on, can't wash your car on your own space etc......

Tell me what the damages are. i can write you an estimate so you can have an idea what you are looking. I work for a collision estimating company. We package the database that insurance and bodyshops use to do their estimates

[honda_bar]

cool, here you go! and there is a scratch on the door (kinda minor) I would need the front panel, hood is scratched, bumper/lip for sure and the plastic that goes under. My dad says the wheel is messed up, but I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

[honda_bar]

Eh mixxer, how were those clips you went to see? did you see the black ones??

[masagsxr]

Here's a rough estimate of the whole thing. All the parts I selected are pretty much replacement for OEM parts.

They are good but the seller didn't want to separate. He insist that I'll need parts from it one way or the other. I just wanted to get the bumper and fog lights, the rest are pretty much trash i think.

Oh, I think u could definitely use a lot of them specially the left headlight assembly.

[honda_bar]

thanks bro, is it the same for a 93? I think the wheel might be f'ed too...

[MisterSquared]

Wait... so is this brake swap deal thing not happening because lack of venue? I DO have a house with my fiancee. Its here in San Diego, and I have a 2 car garage and full size driveway. If you want we can do the work here, people would just need to bring tools and what not. I only have a single jack (which doesn't go very high, its only good for oil changes and what not) and a set of jack stands... oh and a wrench/ratchet kit. LOL.

yeah it should be the same. I didn't know what year your car was so i just picked 92.. I just check for the wheel and for a brand new one its going to be $297.22 (14x6)

hey that front clip might just be a good investment for you. You can take the whole thing and sell the rest you dont need like the front lip you have on right now then put the rest.

[Mark_Dorman]

^He has the 15" wheels. Dang Colin...that sucks. Make his parents cover him. If it was his fault and he was driving without insurance then he is liable...and if he is still one of his parent dependents (legally) they are responsible. Make sure you get Cash from them to cover it and do some of the work yourself. You might be able to squeeze a new paint job out of it all. Was the suspension damaged at all? If it was just cosmetic then it won't be too bad.

[masagsxr]

Ok..

15x6 front $391.22
15x7 rear $415.66

Thats a rough estimate and all "replaced" not fix. I'm thinking bodyshop will fix what are salvageable so i'm thinking at least $1K for everything. They'll probably get obviously used parts which most likely are about 50-75% off retail

I'm gonna talk to Davis and see if he has any space available at his school. If not I'm down to go anywhere...I mostly just need space. I have jackstands and tools. I'll talk to Davis and see what I can figure out.

Hey Colin...make sure you talk to one of the parent and drop a line like "I'd like to keep the issue out of court" so they know you're serious.

On a happier note...this will be a good excuse to get that new bumper and lip you've been wanting. Also a new paint job could be in order. I'll help you do the prep work for it if you end up going that route. Why is the car not drivable?

[o6spdracer]

Damn Colin! Sorry to hear that. If he is under 24, you can always take him to small claims court if he/his parents refuse to pay. If you need anything, call me up.
