Well that sucks, it looks repairable at least.

[574-240sx]

Dam, that sucks.

[chrislis]

repairable it is. im kinda pissed it got the frame though. that will ****ing suck to fix.

[drifter_for_life06]

repariabble by all means

are you sure tis teh frame? and not the radiator core support?

[nismofly]

my dad got in a situation similar to yours, you made out a lot better though

how come you got the ticket? one of those f-ed up florida traffic laws says "your brakes are teh suck in rain" so you get a ticket?

[karmakaze]

from the pics, it looks like it only got your radiator core support. the frame actually comes out below your bumper. and if you were only going 25 i would say you would be fine. did your airbags deploy?

[chrislis]

airbags stayed put. but yeah it was the radiotor core support, i just couldnt think of what it was called, are those easy to replace? i'm gonna be doing this whole body kit instead of OEM...

that kits nice...you gonna get a carbonfiber hood too? u could get wider fenders if u wanted.

sorry about the car

[chrislis]

i dont think i'll get a CF hood or wider fenders, probly just gonna get that kit for aftermarket parts and just rock the OEM ****. the CWEST kit looks ****ing gorgeous, that's the first time i have seen it. might as well spend the extra like 300 and improve so i have something to look forward to.

[nismofly]

i heart the c-west kouki kit

[chrislis]

i heart the c-west kouki kit

yeah dude, i never thought to get any body kit ever. but this thing is ****ing HOOOOT.

[2s4k0y09]

Dude, sucks to hear about your accident. I have a 97' Kouki, and for how rare they are to come by, I baby the sh*t out of mine! When I got into a small crash 2 years ago, I flipped on the person who hit me, there fault too. But at least in your situation, it is repairable. Good luck.

[nismofly]

yeah dude, i never thought to get any body kit ever. but this thing is ****ing HOOOOT.

im very picky...

for kouki, the one you showed, and navan, ings +1zenki s14, greddy lip, navan other stuff or full navan kit

s13, dont know about silvia fronts but for pop-ups, gp sports zero one, m sports, ings +1

thats pretty much it, theyre all very clean, really accenting more than standing out

[chrislis]

i havent seen many koukis with the cwest kits either. alot of version 1 selects but ew i hate.

[drifter_for_life06]

nie choice of kit

i replaced the core support on my blazer

wasnt hard just have to take out the radiator

might be different on our 240;s though

[chrislis]

alright so far i found the kit, hood, grill...

looking for the oem fenders and also headlights. i forgot how expensive the kouki headlights were.

[0wn3r]

how did you get the $180 fine again?

[chrislis]

115. it was because i "should have been able to stop my car..." then again... roads, slick. tires, lock. oh, ****.

[karmakaze]

airbags stayed put. but yeah it was the radiotor core support, i just couldnt think of what it was called, are those easy to replace?

http://store.yahoo.com/ntnsrac....html

it screws in for alignment then it has a few weld in points. not to bad.

[chrislis]

i would love to get all the easy bodywork done myself so i dont have to pay for too too much labor. i can probably get the fenders... i would have to get the kit molded... the hood i heard isn't too bad either. and the grill is like the easiest crap ever. headlights once i get em shouldnt be bad.

edit: do you think i could bolt up the kit and have the bodyshop mold it? or is it basically just mold or dont do anything at all?

[574-240sx]

Don't mold it at all. You may have to do some trimming and cutting with dremel or air tool.

[chrislis]

hmm interesting. i know nothing about body work. also, andys auto sport has CF hoods for like $365, so im going to get one since i cant stand looking for regular OEM hoods. everything i see is vented obnoxiously or CF.

[eds13]

dude that really sucks! what about the fenders are they alright? bad enough for an s15 front On the other hand i almost like the kouki better

[chrislis]

i will not ever do the s15 front, even though everything involved in it would be needing replacement via swap. my left fender it split in half from the front a little bit and the right one is bent. NARRRR. maybe i could get the bodyshop to work on those though, i dont think they're that bad.

[chrislis]

if anyone wants to see the daytime pictures leave your emal address and i will send you a link to the photo album.
