Just curious..but how much do you think--what price range--would it be to repair or replace the radiator due to a minor collision? I have a chance of getting what i think is a good deal on a kouki s14 that was hit in the front but STILL has a clean title :) (guy says that hood, right fender, bumper, right headlight and radiator support need to be replaced/repaired). I haven't seen how badly damaged the car is yet but i just wanna get a rough estimate of how much it would be to repair (i've already looked into the costs of the bumper, fender, hood, etc..)

Also, is there anything else I need to be on the lookout for since this car was in an accident? Like any certain problems under the hood?

You advice is greatly appreciated :)

i had my whole rear ****ed, while drifting,

axles, controls arms, whole back frame.

went to junkyard, got whole rear end from good 240 with blown engine for about $275 and my friend put it in for me for about $400.

perfectly done, no problems to this day (hppnd 2 years ago)

Well kouki your looking at some cash. THe cars were rare and those body pieces are in high demand. As far as radiator, should be too much but do some junkyard searching for the pieces.

if you can find thecar in junkyard, you can do it yourselfit takes a lot of searching though. took me about a week to find it.

Hes gonna have to search REALLY hard because its a kouki s14... there are like 10k in the us i think. Anyways, http://www.car-parts.com is a good place to start.

you can generally get a new radiator for an S14 for around $100 or so. I've seen as low as $80, but I don't remember where

Thanks, IF i do end up buying it i'll definitely hit up some junkyards.. but if i don't find any good parts, i guess i'll have to go with a simple front kit..

How much would YOU guys offer for it considering its situation? (it's got only 77k on it, 5-spd, good mech. cond., SE, and btw still has clean title)

sounds like the perfect time to do an s15 conversion. It might be easier in the long run sadly.
