asx32 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 You'll need a new core support and an upper frame horn. Your strut tower is probably OK. Actually I was considering getting my car to your shop for race settings... State Farm is going to total my car, hope I can meet you in the future with another Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asx32 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) I saw your car coming down on the flatbed when I was riding up there. Glad to hear you're ok. Good news is there are a TON of Z cars out here you can prob swap your parts into if you go that route. I would be a little wary the LA listings as they tend to be a bit overpriced. Good luck! Yeah, unlike Pittsburgh I could find many Zs in craiglist. Considering I had to go to Virginia and drive for 9 hours back to Pittsburgh, a bit of overpricing is far better Thank you for the valuable information.

JSM Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 State Farm is going to total my car, hope I can meet you in the future with another Z So was the final amount $4400 still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTMLGND Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Not a good topic to share with, I had a car accident several hours before. Before calling State Farm I wanna know about estimated repair costs. If it's not insane, wanna fix it even it costs a bit high. And suggestions for good body shops having knowledge of old Zs would be greatly appreciated. Frame seems to be twisted much. When you see the last picture you can see the driver's side seat position is a bit higher than the passenger side. Suggestions with good body shop with knowledge of Z around Pasadena or Socal Area would be very appreciated as well. So sad. Even before coming to the US, I wish I could buy something exactly like mine. Fortunately went a grad school in US, bought my z and kept for 1.5 years. Rushed to Virginia and drove 9 hours to Pittsburgh. Finally got the job and move to SoCal just a month ago. During really tough & lonely time my Z was one of the best friends. Feel terrible to see the front of the car. It just sucks.. Fortunately nobody else was there, I'm not hurt just slight back/shoulder pain. A cop said recently there was another accident at exactly the same spot, same style of Ferrari. CA Angeles Crest Fwy around 5000ft point. This is the car. Pictures of today's accident: Wow! Makes our collision look relatively minor. Good luck with your new search for a new Z if SF totals.

EMWHYR0HEN Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Ouch man Sorry about your loss. The damage is a Good amount but I don't think it's totaled. Maybe upper and lower frame is tweaked but can be fixed for sure. I've driven Angeles crest and hwy hundreds of times but still can't quite remember all the turns. On top of that they're mainly high speed turns so it's definitely a place to take it easy. Throw in crappy road conditions for high elevation winters and you have a recipe for disaster. PM me if you want a second pair of eyeballs to look at the damage. I've seen and fixed a couple banged up S30's. Also, PM me if you wanna check out some other fun canyon roads to play on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
