Is the car not in your driveway atm?
Take them off and swap em now.

 

I had to drop off the car at a body shop that geico deals with, they will call me tomorrow to let me know whats going to happen, but Im thinking of telling them hold off while I take my car to another body shop to get a quote, but ill take it home and start swapping out parts as fast as possible than take it back to them and try to see what they offer me. exhaust,radio,knn and cooling plate

 

Tires could have been slightly near bald? Just a guess

 

Something I learned from autox and to quote Andy Hollis.


Think of a string tied between the steering wheel and the throttle. If you are at the limit of adhesion in the turn, you must unwind the wheel some to allow for additional throttle input and you should do so proportionately. "unwind and add power".

 

DO NOT LET THEM GET YOUR S!!!

whatever they offer you just say thats with me keeping the car right?

in all honesty after insurance money and a part out you should be able to get back into another S, help the community with rare parts, and make money on top!

just think

insurance will give you 15ish you can get the car back for 2 easy

motor/tranny 2,500 easy lots of civic guys are doing F swaps now!
rear diff 300
seats 600
top if its in good shape 350
ecu upgrade for the 00-01 guys 150
front end an easy 1500 between the hood bumpers fenders and headlights

havent even gotten to the small parts under the hood or the interior panels or suspension parts!

buy it back, put it in your back yard and slowly part it, once parted you will still get 300 for scrap metal haha

 

steering wheel+airbag 300-400
cluster 200-300

 

You honestly hit it in the best place possible loads of members that crash could use a fresh front end or rear quarter panels that are clean and worth a penny for sure

 

I agree with parting out your car. I actually need new fenders from being too low and pushing mine out

 

Once you get going with a new car, try some drivers schools and autocross.

Sorry for the loss.

 

I already found another S that I am looking into getting once I get my cash, I would love to buy it back, but not sure how long it will take to part out, I am moving by end of may, and any left over parts would just end up being left abandon.

if all goes well , ill just buy it back and start posting a massive part out in all the major forums. a motor with 77k miles should hopefully pay back what ever i spent on buying the car back
