Hey guys I got a Metallic MY01' with 126k on the odo. it's been in 2 accidents; One with the rear suspension, hub, brakes, control arms and tie rods needed replacing because I spun out in bad conditions into a curb. The other I hit my front left side into someones ass while switching lanes to avoid an suv switching lanes that had no idea I was there, the car I hit had smashed his brakes for no reason on the highway, maybe was paying attention to his rear view and instinctually hit his brakes idk, but nobody in front of him and I was only going about 50mph during the lane change on a 60mph highway... all that was replaced again was bumper and fender + control arm, hub, bearing and the wheel. I need to reset the steering wheel because my right hand signal doesn't turn off after turn completion. And the left tie rod needs replaced now.

Anyways, the purpose of this to ask whether or not you believe this chassis could possibly be turned into a track car, given the circumstances of the 2 accidents, and other than that it only sees the highway to and from work. As long as the damage was fixed properly? I do not believe the frame is off at all. Would the chassis be anice ideal choice given no rust or other issues? Even with 126k miles? Or should I just look into a lower mileage example with no crashes?

No.

B serious

Yeah, I'm sure it's fine. Heavily tracked cars are crashed at the track and fixed anyway.

If it was professionally repaired both times, it's probably fine. Maybe take it to an S2000 specialist and have them give the brakes, frame, suspension, etc. a thorough look.

The car still takes 2nd gear corners at vtec lIke it was never in a wreck. The damage done in both collisions was very minimal and fully replaced, and also 85% got a respray of ssm. The incident i rear ended that guy, I drove my car home without an issue asides from the allignment being off and the tie rod bent. I still need a new tie rod but I was able to shim a washer in there to remove all of the play it had. The car likeys the title says, still mechanically runs like a bull. I would like to source a transmission rebuild if anyone knows of a kit or person, let me know, I really enjoy the ratio stock ap1 transmission has.
