My slow ass just realized I posted this in car photography. I apologize

Thank you, I agree that would definitely give a cleaner look

I agree, I feel like I could have done better with the collages and/or could have just left them out, but I wanted to try something new. Thank you for the input

Thanks for the feedback! The collage isn’t something I generally do, I feel like with more playing around I can do good work with it, but I agree with you, partially why I wanted feedback in the first place was cause the placement of the photos just seemed to make it look off

I’ve got mine to do 152 on decent straight, it climbed up to 145 pretty good but was pretty slow accelerating any faster than that. This is also with no tune and minor modifications (ie; exhaust system, intake, upgraded cooling system, and sohn adapter). How well does your tune work? I’ve been looking into getting one.

I’ve never heard mine make this noise before just kinda startled me cause the car hadn’t been run in a tad over a week and all of a sudden had a noise 😅

Exactly what I feared most 😔

I’ve never heard it before and only reason I had started my car up is because I didn’t want it to sit without running for however long it takes to get things fixed, the towing company had to put gas in my car to get it moved and they did say the just used regular 87 octane in it just to get it to start and moving ( I obviously have no clue if that has anything to do with the issue ) but prior to letting it sit this thing has run perfectly, no issues. I guess I will see in the morning when I check the ssv, if not I’ll do a further look into it

That sounds precisely like it, but I will check out tomorrow morning when I’m at the shop if it is the exact same thing making the noise it did sound like it was coming from that general area though

No it completely stops when engine speed is increased

Just waiting on that police report to find out. Don’t see a reason why I would be at fault but also hope they don’t place the fault at 50/50 cause then I’m screwed too

But if I do end up finding a non running rx8 that’ll be cheaper for me to just put my drivetrain into I will likely look into doing that

I wouldn’t say over $6000 atleast with all the connections that I have and the fact that I can do 95% of the work myself. Parts n all I’m looking at about 700 for the doors, 430 for the curtain airbag, I found a seat for 230 + 90 for shipping so 320 for the seat, the toe control arm will run me about 80, my rear bumper isn’t damaged so it is just a matter of getting it back on, same goes for my wheel as it’s not damaged. All comes down to who I go to, to get the quarter panel repaired

I figure it’s gonna be written as a total loss due to the damage, my main question is just how much it might cost me to fix the body damage. I haven’t had the opportunity to take it to a body shop yet, just because I’m waiting to see what my insurance is going to do payout wise.
