jayedh123 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 hey people, i dont think anyone understands how frustrating it is to catch public transport once youve been so used to a car lol the damage aint that serious, more just bolt on parts, wings, radiators, bumper and bonnet....my neighbour who breaks civics gave me the driver and passenger airbags for free! soo far im just saving up to buy an audi a4 im also considering taking parts of the civic but not entirely sure yet as it means too much to me lol ( sounds silly i know!)WilkesyMB6 - im selling parts and if i do youll be the first person for the rear splitter scottravenhill - my fault sort of but if i ever find the idiot who pulled out infront of me....dave - i didnt go through insurance because it was my fault and didnt want my premiums to soar through the roof lol but just saving up for the b7 audi and then ill be happy james - i would sell it but then i wouldnt exactly get back the money that i spent on it would i? lol i think ill just keep i for a while? possibly break it to add to the new car fundStu_civicsport - the exhaust aint from a vti-s....custom made...kind of loud aswell lol no cat, no silencer and a smaller back box...just a straight stainless steel pipe from the manifold to the tiphope everyone elses car is in better shape right now cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKCivic Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hi Jay, just a word of caution - before you spend too much on replacement panels and parts I'd get the chassis alignment checked first because if a chassis legs bent or a suspension mount has moved then it'll never drive straight without jig work at a bodyshop and that's going to cost big bucks unless you know someone that'll do it for you at mates rates. You can't tell if its bent just by looking at it.The front end of modern cars such as our civics is designed to crumple up in an accident to give you a better chance of walking away and as that was a pretty hard knock I'd be surprised if it's still all square. You may have possibly damaged some of your suspension as well. Just don't want to see you get into a money pit situation and end up spending £000's when it may be significantly cheaper to get another mb2 or maybe a vti thats had its engine robbed. Obviously your car would be an insurance write off as they quote for using new parts and we all know how much new genuine Honda parts cost, but if it's still straight then yes, you can rebuild it with used parts. Good Luck with the project - keep us posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
