Its a sad day.. My 240 falls victim to a girl who can't drive a mustang. pics

[AxiOn419]

Girl trys to turn left onto road, doesn't check good enough apparantly, pretty much stops in my lane and waits for the impact.. Her brand new 06 Mustang (brand new as in it still had dealer tags on it) will most likely only need a new rear quarter panel and a new door while my 240 is practically totalled. I've had my car close to 4 years now, 2 of which with the RB.. I miss it already. The girl most likely got the Mustang as some kind of gift, graduation maybe and I believe she just got her licence.

Sucks. A lot.

its a 1991 SE s13 w/ rb20det

No word yet on the extent of the damage or what I will be getting for it but I'm going to fight for what I put into it.





Wear your seatbelts.

[Nerd_Juice]

Wow, ****ty deal man. Ever so sorry. And to a Mustang no less!

[AxiOn419]

Yeah.. I joked with my girlfriend who was in the car with me that the only good outcome to this is that its one less mustang off the streets. Well, that and of course that everyone is alright.

So... anyone looking to sell a car? :\

[Kansei240sx]

Man, thats painful to look at. I sorrow for your losses, the only way i can avenge your cars death is to beat as many of those damn mustangs as i can for ya.

Good luck on trying to find another Chasis, hopefully the RB is salvagable.

Pull all your reciepts together, make copies, and fax them to her insurance company. Contact the aggent handling the claim and let them know you will not take a penny less then what you have in it. There's a good chance they would rather fix it when they find out how much they would have to pay to total it. If it can be fix. Hate to see a 240 go down like that.

they wont fix it.they will total it in a heartbeat, had to go thru this same thing (altho not to this extent) when my s13 was hit, even tho the nose was slightly damaged they still totaled it.time to move on man, grab a s14, bigger and better things await.hope you get a good setlement sum tho, you will proly have to get a laywer for a decent one.

[Darius]

Your neck and back hurt, right?

[skillzilla]

Dang son, hope you are OK. Was your chick in the car? Im really sorry dude, but at least you finally fixed that high idle!

okokokok, bad joke, but good luck with the insurance, I hope you dont get reamed. On a side note, my car looked that bad when I wrecked it and I pulled the RB, re-swapped it, and Im re-stoked again

[AxiOn419]

Hey JJ, yeah she was in the car but we are both fine. The engine should be fine, I'm going up there today to look at it. I hope to pull the engine and put it in another one but I'm going to need help with that of course

I had already fixed the high idle problem for good about 6 months ago haha but yeah, atleast this is a good excuse to get a decent sized radiator and FMIC.. I will let you know how it turns out.

[NightKids2]

5000 and my car is yours

[AxiOn419]

5000? Whats it have done to it? Its primered, dont you think 5k is kind of steep?

[skillzilla]

Who did the swap? Better pics of the wiring please, and the whole car in general. 5k for an RB25 isnt too terribly steep, depending on what else is done.

[AxiOn419]

is that a hatch? Yeah, I noticed it was an RB25 after I made that post.

JJ, if my engine is salvagable, interested in maybe swapping it over ?

[srdrps13]

what happens if the insurance company keeps the car and gives you a check? can you pull out the motor or are you screwed ? When my car got stolen, i sent them all the receipts of everything it had done to it and they didn't accept jack shiet lol

[SR20drftSX]

i got an 89 240 , fastback 5 speed , SOHC , 2.5 inch catback...nuttin else does...1300 cash takes it... , NY area

[NightKids2]

Yea if you want to swap over your motor go with a stock 240.

[Shocker]

if his insurance company keeps the car he can buy it back for less that a grand most likely, they dont really keep totaled cars and is highly unlikely they would sell any of the parts. A guy i know totaled his VDUb he bought it back from his insurance for $700, stripped all teh parts, cut the car in half, and scrapped the rest. good luck man, keep us posted on the money you get back ive always been curious to how this works, since most older 240 owners just have liability and all. good luck!

[skillzilla]

Im selling my car this week and am either picking up a new project or a completed S14 SR car, either way Ill help but it may be a little bit. My room mate is starting his SR swap in our garage today though, but that should only take a few weeks. Let me know how it goes with the insurance company and we will figure it out.

Also, did anything on the front of the motor get busted up? Mine had a cracked timing gear, cracked CAS, cracked ignitor, needed a new crank pulley, etc. It was a big gamble re-swapping it with all those parts busted, could have ****ed the engine up big time, but it turned out OK>

Regardless, yeah Im here for ya mang.

[Rican_Nick]

dat sucks man.. another local down the drain.

[rb240det]

Hey man...it's Richard from Braggin' Rights. Sorry to hear about your car, but when you're ready we'll swap the RB back into something and get it running again. Let me know...I'm right around the corner.

[mrzabala]

I've already let him know that Im glad his safe so dont think I came in here not caring about what happened cause I do. Im probably doing the same thing to my 91 240sx Hatch with putting in a RB20DET. I sent you an e-mail want to know about that rear fender you were talking about and seemed like you were offering to sell it. Anyways take care and hope you get a wrapped benjamin

[Chaos the Xile]

Sorry to hear that man, if its not bad enough she hit a 240SX but an RB powered one at that!!! Good luck with getting another one bro!

[27RB240]

What's up man, its Kel, the other guy that you talked to at BR06, sorry about the situation man, wish ya the best of luck!!!!!

Awwwwwwwww man the pics work now, didnt see them before, that was terrible, well it wasnt your fault, and you and your gf were alright..... Good luck again man

pics don't work

and i've been in the shoes of the mustang owner before (except i owned an accord lol)

i was turning left in this mall parking lot. i checked my right but it was hard to see around the cars parked illegally (they were going past the parking spots into the diagonals). so i waited for this lady to cross with her baby stroller and i went. BAM, this newer BLACK buick slams into my side. they were old, and handicapped of course...

[S12_hybrid]

This is why it is important to get your car appraised before such things happen. A lesson to all people who love their cars, IF YOUR CAR INCREASES IN VALUE the insurance company wants receipts before it happens.

[AxiOn419]

S12_hybrid, the accident wasnt my fault at all so that should ahve anything to do with it.

Pictures are up again

[Florida240sx]
