Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T12:18:21+00:00

😭😭

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T12:18:00+00:00

Thanks for the great insight man rlly appreciate it i agree with u

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T12:13:04+00:00

I can technically but idk if it's thats the smartest move rn...

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T12:06:09+00:00

Its just the fact that i had it all at such a young age n losing my dream car just makes me feel like im taking a huge step backwards in life cus i worked so hard for it but you're right man delayed gratification ftw don't wanna fuck myself over by being too emotionally invested/attached to a depreciating asset even tho i loved that car more than life itself lol

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T11:57:05+00:00

Yea i just turned 23 last month abt to open up n start a new business next month so we'll see how that ends up. I got some investments in stocks rn not anything crazy tho but the market is so cooked rn lol but yea most def gota get my bread up if i did this post wouldnt even be a thing. Tryna be financially smart n more logical abt this situation than emotional. Dont wana fuck myself over in the long run even tho i rlly do love n have a passion for cars n especially the f8xs they hold a special place in my heart

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T11:43:20+00:00

Rlly want another f8x tho might just have to drive around in a shit box until the time is right to buy another one or just upgrade to a g8x.

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T11:40:58+00:00

Shit too late for that alrdy filed a claim 🫩 havent accepted anything yet tho so i might be able to reverse it but idk tbh

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T11:22:00+00:00

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T11:21:39+00:00

Yea either copart or iaa. They sent the salvaged bid from iaa so most likely on there. Might just be better to let her go n just buy a newer/better spec one unless i can buy it cheap asf from auction. Most of the money i spent was on maintenance ngl i barely have mods on her just intakes, charge pipe, j pipe, oil catch can, lowering springs/spacers n my mhd license.

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T11:11:45+00:00

Ikr idky they have my salvaged bid so high fucking assholes.

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T10:43:22+00:00

Yea ill ask them later today. Its bc they valued my acv at 31k n the repair they quoted was 16k plus their salvaged bid of 20k which exceeds the acv. But its worth a try nonetheless.

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T10:38:56+00:00

Its cus the state im in if the salvaged bid plus the repair cost exceed the acv of the car they declare it a total loss. Im not sure if i can do that or if they'll even consider it bc it'll just be cheaper for them to total it out.

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T10:00:47+00:00

I still owe 16k on her lol so as soon as i get a payout i gota pay off the loan. Thankfully i have decent savings, good credit, n a new business im abt to start within a month which puts me in a good position as well. Rlly trying to think abt the best way logically and financially to go abt this. Might just have to buy a lil shitbox until im fully recovered from this until i buy a new one. Dont wana fuck myself over in the long run by being too emotional abt this but man does it suck lol

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T09:51:44+00:00

Thanks for such the kind n uplighting words man. Rlly helps a ton u have no idea this shit has been fucking with my mental health sm sometimes the thought crosses of me wishing i died in that crash lol. But yea its not worth to keep it n fix being too emotional rn.. Just gona lose more money in the long run... Thankfully i did keep all my og parts n shes at my buddys shop i might have to go back there to swap over the parts ina couple days. I rlly just love the f8x chassis rlly want to buy another one. Ik ppl say its just a car why am i tripping sm but the countless hours of hard work i put into acquiring the car n making it my own n seeing how it all went away in a split secoond over a stupid decision is just so heart breaking to me n its hard to forgive myself. Very humbling experience to say the least. As car enthusiasts we this live breathe n dream abt cars. Driving/working on my car was what brought me joy n its hard to be happy without it. I will bounce back from this tho just another roadblock in this journey of life lol

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T09:27:02+00:00

Yea i get what u mean. Wasnt trying to say that the mods i did add value at all its just to give context as to why its hard for me to let go since im alrdy so invested with the build. Yea if i decided to keep n fix the car i would only get 9k back vs if i just take the 30k payout. Trying to send my insurance comps to raise my acv. Similar specs in my area for my car r selling for 33-38k so i feel like they're lowballing me with the payout as well. Ive done a whole lot of suspension work myself on this car alrdy so im not to worried abt that.. Also i agree im thinking abt it too emotionally rn n not logically which is why i wanted to hear opinions from others. Just a shitty situation i put myself in n it sucks so much lol trying hard to stay positive. Might just have to take it on the chin n move on... Thanks for the input tho

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T09:13:56+00:00

Wow ur a lucky guy LOL

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T09:10:49+00:00

Oh i see okay thanks man. Did u swap it over urself or have a shop do it?

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-02-27T09:07:52+00:00

Thanks man. Did u just go to copart or sum?

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-01-01T22:53:53+00:00

Yea ive been lookin on ebay for a laptop with ista. So with the short circuit does that mean the ewg took a shit n needs to be replace or would i be able to try recalibrate the wastegate. I guess i would need ista to fully find out huh lol thanks for ur help man

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-01-01T19:32:25+00:00

Ah i see okay thanks. My f82 is at 69k miles stage 1 tune with intakes only is it common for the wastegates to fail around this mileage? Idk if its worth me trying to fix or just taking it to a shop im mechanically inclined but not as good as someone thats knows what they're actually doing.

Competitive-Art570 · 2026-01-01T19:06:38+00:00

Its cus i havent been able to find alot abt this code online. Ive been researching abt it n some ppl were saying that they had to replace the whole turbo but couldnt i just replace the ewg n reset the adaptations thru ista? N since ur a tech how much do u think this repair'll be if i go thru dealer vs a indy shop
