So i was driving down sunrise in rancho cordova here in sacramento to pickup a part for an FC I just bought when at a greenlight some guy 4 cars ahead decides to stop at a green light. Everyone slams on their brakes and me without ABS locks up and slides right into a Buick. It gets much worse, the Buick is full of 3 claims adjusters and 1 traffic lawyer in a rental Hertz car. The Buick had no damages except scuffs and patches of freen paint from my front bumper but my car is totalled screwed. The frame appears to be bent among other obvious problems. You can take a look at the damage here.

Yeah whay dont you just be really trendy, guy.

Your frame is not bent, the upper tie bar is bent. Thats a part of your unibody and very cheap to fix. A simple pull will suffice and bew body panels = about $800-1000.

IT doesn't look to bad actually. If I were you I'd just pull out that core support and replace the bumper, grill, head lights, and hood and be set..It appears as if it didn't even touch your fenders.

Poor car... Glad to hear your ok though, seeing wrecked zenkis brings flashbacks to when i wrecked mine. Hope you get her back up and run for a decent price.

Slamming on brakes = bad...

Man that really sucks though, sorry to hear. It shouldnt be much to fix however. This is why I drive an S13 though... cheaper for crap like this.

Sorry about the car. It really sucks even to see that. I've been seeing way too many wrecked 240s as of late and I'm starting to feel paranoid.

That sucks but its not that bad at all should be 1k under depending upon parts rough estimate. Same thing happened to me a panic stop.I was coming around a bend low and behold a ford f150 decides to come at me head on..I was going faster than speed limit locked up brakes..slid into him at 1mph..same damage as yours except busted headlamps.radiator..damn chrome brush grill guards.. I sold mine as I had no time to fix it but new owner fixed it I believe aftermarket parts..bumper/hood..rad support lower.Good luck save that zenki..and yeah kouki conversion is nicee.

Well, heres an update. no the buick guys didnt seem to care much, they thought my super bad luck was kind of funny, hitting traffic lawyers and all with only my car being damaged.

I took off my front end completely and "drove" it without a radiator to a friends body shop and yea the frame was bent on the left, but not too bad. To pull it out and straighten it with installing new parts without paint is 500. so that sounded fine and I went home and picked up the phone ordering parts. Here is the following I bought today:

OEM S15 HID HeadlightsOEM S15 radiator support thingVIS S15 vented carbon fiber hoodS14.5 conversion fendersC-West type 2 front bumper

that and some other small stuff and the body shop will get me in in a few weeks. So hopefully everything will work out and I'll have an s15 front cleanly done in a month or so.

I'm debating spending more money and getting the c-west sides and rear for an S14 and the s14 kouki wing and having them put it all on and painting it bayside blue.
