Wrote her off today.....

[Hedgehog Dodger]

Well

The biscuit tin has died. Wrote the car off today, but could have been a lot worse, I might not have been here! Totally ripped the nearside front and side upto the door of the car off. Nearly ended up in a 12ft ditch, but thanks to the 2 posts (one concrete and one steel) that stopped me at 50MPH I didnt!

I will post some pics up of the damage.

Engine is sound (I think) so if anyone know who wants to buy the engine/transmission off me then let me know.

Modified GT30 (1 day old - about 50 miles)
HKS ManifoldHKS Wastegate
Zeni-Tani downpipe and Twin exit exhaust
REV3 Block 94 - Uknown internals
TRD Diff
Lightened Flywheel
OS Twin plate clutch
R32 GT-R Intercooler + piping.
HKS F-CON V-Spec Gold
More details in my profile

I might sell the engine/transmission/rear axle as one unit, and sell the turbo as a kit - Turbo, Manifold, IC, Exhaust etc etc

If anyone is interested let me know. Rogue/JJ/Chris

A Sad day for Zeni-Tani biscuit tin

Dan,

Really sorry to hear that buddy. Glad you made it OK though.

Do not know what to say apart from the old....it is only a car at the end of the day. Sounds like it was a fairly major moment...

Jeez matey, sorry to hear that, such a unique car

At least you are OK, nothings a substitute for that

[Driftlimits Performance]

Hard luck mate, I feel for ya

I reckon Paul Woods should drop the engine in a mk1

Glad you're alright (or can at least still type)

[shafster]

it's never nice to write off a car and even worse if it's something very special

[michael]

[pistol supercharged pete]

[Chris \'aka rustboy\' Amm]

damn dan dude!

was that the fancy pants mental white one? what happened exactly? just lose control?

[steve b]

bad luck at least your ok and the important parts of the car are ok. SW20 shells are 2 a penny after all....

but hey Shaf why don't you buy the rear clip and pop in in your TRD give it the go to match the show

[BLOODUK]

Glad you are ok!! , you wasnt being silly or anything ? its just strange it happened right after u was showing off your turbo and engine bay

again glad u didnt get injured

[Rowland]

Ahh crap what a bummer
You're in one piece and that's THE most important thing matey

[Lauren]

Sorry to hear that Dan.

I know what it feels like to hit immovable objects, not nice!

Could it be 'Re-shell' time?

[Lee @ 3S Service Centre]

glad your ok mate.

shame about such a great car.

howd it happen?

sorry mate

lee

[Chris \'aka rustboy\' Amm]

glad your ok mate.

i'm guessing hedgehog dodging?

[mr2trev]

Is yours the spotless white one with boot mounted intercooler and groovy scoop on the boot lid??

Did this happen on a56 (manchester area) about half 10??

I recognised the car!!

Sorry mate, no chance of fixing her??

[mikewright]

whoa shame to hear about the car mate. At least you walked away. getting a new body for the engine?

[Bender Unit]

Crap Dan! Really sorry to hear that you smashed the car, at least you got out in once piece!

Personally I wouldnt give in just yet! Get a worthy shell and swap the parts over. JJ always has his lugs to the ground when it comes to cheap Mr2's that need work so might be worth having a chat with him?! Wasnt there one on ebay going recently for pennies?

Swap the bits over and you have Biscuit Tin 2!

Cheers

James

[System-G]

NNNnnnnnooooooooo not good mate

But as the others have said least you're OK. You can always get another car, but another you is a little more difficult

[PW@Woodsport]

dreadful,truely dreadful to hear that....as the others have said at least you got out intact,now get back into the saddle and stick your trick engine back into a mk2 shell....or even better a mk1 shell!

Never good to hear about any mr2 getting wrecked.Isnt it repairable?

[Fonzy]

sorry to hear about that mate, mail me a price for the whole car.
