    Pherable ecu
    NGK Plugs
    Magstar wires

    Sorry about the bad luck. It looks repairable. Did you have insurance on it?

    yes i did have insurance but it was only liability...it looks much worse in person im afraid..the centerline of the frame is 4 1/2" to the passenger side off and doors wont close so well. it got the radiator and front supports...so its pretty much totaled :( my header and all the other aftermarket parts were not even touched in the wreck though so thats a plus

    just tryin to find another thats already been gsr or b16 swapped already then turbo it i suppose, still not for sure yet though... I <3 my go-kart (my delsol) but another project may be in the mix as well..

    /\ thanks, i think that im gona go with a b series already swapped to try and save me a headache or two..unless they did the swap terribly then it would be a worse headache lol...im gona go for one that is fairly mint this time and not be afraid to pay a little more for it. the thing that really held up my progress with mine is that i was spending alot of time and money just fixing what was needed on it. it had 214k on it but i had most of the problems solved except for a few bushings and small things.

    ahwell just get to do it all over again i guess. when i go b series alot of my stuff will be up for grabs so ill post um up in the classifieds... header, ecu, etc...

    I feel a challenge coming on...build a car to make the Sept 14 cruize to nopi!!!!

    aiight, im sleepy...long day -_- zZzZ

    a GReddy turbo kits was going on my z6 after the nopi show, i should just go back with the same z6 setup because all my engine and trans components are still in good shape... i'll decide between the two later on, basicly just depends on the condition of the vehicle that i find.

    at least my car treated my well when she was going. only broke down on me one time cause the timing belt broke on the interstate, this happened about 30sec after my gf put the radio on country music so i blamed it on that :p everybody tells me that im the luckiest person they know because when the belt broke nothing internally was damaged. lol when it broke i was like "yes!!! GSR swap! w00t!.... damnit the z6 it ok!"

    i feel bad asking, but if you decide to go another route, can i buy the rear section of your exhaust??? i'm really sorry to hear about your ride. it makes you feel like mabe you shouldn't build up another car, so your heart won't have the possibility of being broken again. best of luck.
