I did, I believe I gave it to supradrifter when he picked up the supra :( If he can chime in, i might or might not have one for you.

Oh and figured i'd throw this out there. My SC got hit :( a lady ran a redlight and hit the front end right before the front wheel. It pushed the front end over about an inch or 2, can't get in and out the pass door. Since the sc's have weird doors, either way, first quote of damage was $6100. So back to the drawing board I go, but depending on what happens, I might be back in a Supra soon enough ;) thats the only thing I'm thrilled about with this whole mess.

Might have to take some pics and change sig soon ;) we'll see what happens.

I'll put them up here when I can get some pictures of it. Got my 2nd estimate and we'll say 9 times out of 10, its totaled, both estimates are around 6k

id rather not go that route, its a cheap ebay radiator anyway, and it would probably spring another leak anyway.

thats shitty, id buy it back from insurance if thats the case and either part it or make it a track car. or you could sell it to me for 500. :)

Yea needless to say, I'm not thrilled at all. The newest news, is they want to come get the car and take it somewhere to get it looked at. This is a first for me, but idk if it sounds right... They aren't having someone come out to look at it, just gonna come get it and take it to a shop basically and then tell me the value of the car...

IDK... I got pictures tho, there not that great, but i'll show you the damage.

Wish they was a little bigger, but there on FB as well.

I didn't think about undoing the hood and taking a picture... it was a duh moment but the frame is shifted a little. The battery tray came in contact with the belt, and i guess the force of her hitting me broke the air box and mounting points for the lights.

Body shop claimed 1500 in just the two headlights....:yikes:

it totally looks fixable man. let insurance total it, buy it back, fix, profit. or let the insurance company total it, buy it back, sell it to me as is for crazy cheap, profit.

lol we'll see. I got the rental car today and there gonna come pick up the sc tomorrow to "look" at it.

I mean I'm not saying I'm really pissed about it, just mad because it was a good shell and killed my chances of gettin this other supra. But its all good, we'll see what happens, we gotta see how much money we are gonna be working with.

so i got plates for yoda today and drove the crap out of her. mind you, she hasn't been on the road in like 5 years. obviously, the more i drove, the better it ran. but something is wrong with the suspension. when i hit a bump slowly, the car wants to move left to right in a wobbly manner? wtf is that? i know i have a bad inner tie rod and no power steering, but i dont think that'd cause the car to shake side to side. i jacked it up and shook the wheels top to bottom and side to side (bad tie rod, good ball joints). if its something stupid and obvious, just understand "i don't know much about suspension".

So what did they give you, something small and stupid lol.

Right on point!! A 2010 Chevy Aveo... Base model, With all 108 horses of nothing-ness & 30+mpg ... it works but I don't like it... lol

Buy the SC back to get the 2J engine, buy an MK3 shell for cheap and swap it. thats something I want to do at some point.

That is an idea right there, I'm just waitin to see what I have to work with. Depending on prices a GTE swap with 6 speed might be a slightly cheaper, I mean hell, I could always sell the V160 lol

I'd imagine that'd take care of the harness and R154.... I'll check into it tonight tho ;)

Lol Carefully... My girlfriend took a seat in it and said she felt like it we was to get in an accident, we'd die. I mean hell atleast we stood a chance in the Supra & SC but deff not in a Chevy/Daewoo

If I was you, I'd try and get the car on a lift and take a look at the suspension. If the car is a targa, it'll have a little shimmie to it. My 89 Targa did, if I hit a decent size bump with or without the targa on. It was more noticeable with the top off but let us know what you find out.
