sohcVTEC-E Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 The Civic is non existant anymore. I got in a mondo accident and destroyed the car pretty much. No collision insurance so I probably won't be repairing it. I am looking at getting a DSM (don't flame, they're really nice) or an H22 hatch if its not rediculously over priced (which it probably is). Basically what happened is I pulled out of work got on the enterance ramp for the expressway and swerved to avoid a broken down vehicle that had 0 lights on and 0 anything to make it visible. I ended up jumping the median and right into oncoming traffic. I was probably going 15 and got hit by someone going probably 30ish... :( Sad day but I'm excited for what the future holds.
Rick B. Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 damn dude. i am so sorry. good luck with everything
Kastigir Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I am looking at getting a DSM (don't flame, they're really nice) Since I'm currently the owner of a non-running DSM, I must, wholeheartedly suggest you steer yourself elsewhere, lest you wish to be plagued by constant troubles.
Pballer2005 Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 shouldn't the idiot you avoided pay for your car?
Rick B. Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 here ya go man. click me now just find a shell to put it in.
sohcVTEC-E Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 I have a ton of friends with DSM's and they have no problems. The one I'm looking at is a 91 talon 160000 on the body and 30K on the 4g63T motor. I'm probably going with that because turbos>*.
chicotunner95 Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 ok forget the cars for a second, are you ok man, that sounded pretty bad, i mean ending up on the oncoming traffic lane must have been f**ked up! nothing happen to u?
sohcVTEC-E Posted November 28, 2006 Author Posted November 28, 2006 Whiplash like a mother f*cker but thats it. I thought I broke my nose but it just kind of hurts... Thank jesus for airbags.
EH6TunerDaniel Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 That sucks dude, did you get pics? Im not trying to flame, but you really should stay away from a DSM. What are you going to do with your tranny that Chris built?
chicotunner95 Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 when i wrecked my first civic, i walked out with one scratch on my leg and i felt perfectly fine, but two days later i feld like i had just worked out non-stop for a whole day, my whole body was sore as hell
90IntegraC1 Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 aw man dude, i'm sorry to hear that. I'm really glad to hear you're ok though, that must have been scary! Are you gonna part the civic out? how much for the trans? sorry, i'm just curious...
sohcVTEC-E Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 Sold the car to a junkyard for 1000. I was surprised they gave me that much!
90IntegraC1 Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 ah with the trans!?! i need to go to that junkyard now and get it!
sohcVTEC-E Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 It needed a new case anyways it started leaking again becase of the crack (I dropped it as I was putting it in and me and ..SSR.. just JB welded it back together)
TS John Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Bummer, man. I thought you were getting a Mustang or something anyway....? Why not just get one that you can make a daily driver?
EH6TunerDaniel Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I have a good case for a d series trans man, go get it! Lol.
sohcVTEC-E Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 It'd have to be sent to the man for shimming... I may go get it... Depending on many variables.
Kastigir Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I have a ton of friends with DSM's and they have no problems. The one I'm looking at is a 91 talon 160000 on the body and 30K on the 4g63T motor. I'm probably going with that because turbos>*. Then they were lucky. Myself and a friend of mine both had ours fail within 6 months of purchase. His spun a bearing, mine *we think* warped a head, leaked coolant, and mutated the timing belt. Once this one is fixed and sold, I will never buy a DSM crapbox again. The Honda/Toyota gods punished me because I wasn't patient enough to wait for what I *really* wanted.
Attaus Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Wow.. I'm glad you're ok dude. Going into traffic is never good. I would agree. DSM cars are cool, but it's not worth the chance. You could end up getting some crap box that takes thousands to fix or might be the 1/150 that gets one that runs.. for a while. A friend of mine with a GSX cracked the valve cover. How the f*ck do you do that on a stock motor? I don't even know.. Stick with Honda or something else.. anything but those money pits.
Pballer2005 Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 if you don't want a honda at least get a toyota, they are ugly but at least they will work forever
