Thats exactly what i was thinking. I just wanted to make sure i wasnt being to optimistic about it lol. I dont mind them taking their time especially after the head ache i had with my previous car at another shop..

Thank you guys for all of your advice

 

Additional small mirrors on either side of the car are really beneficial in helping to see blind spots. You don't need to buy them from Honda though, Wal-Mart (and other stores) carries them too.

 

I persanally didn't want to deal w/a totaled car so worked w/the adjuster indicating that I did not want the car totaled unless it REALLY was. There were 5 recently wrecked S2k's at a local yard, I went w/the shop manager and we pulled 2 doors that were in perfect shape, saved me a lot of $$, I also purchased my own fenders, hood and HT and told them not to worry about the soft top. Mines an '05 and only had 10k miles at the time. I also took the car back to my shop once the front end was off to remove the soft top and gut the car for them, add a turbo and do the clutch. Then took it back to the shop for them to finish up. I was invlolved almost daily to keep track of the progress as the shop isn't far form my work.

Your car isn't nearly as bad as mine was but I knew the owner of the shop and he, the adjuster and I worked together to get what I wanted out of it. The windshield frame was the biggest headache but it's fixed to factory specs and I don't have a salvage/branded title and am happy.

Work w/the shop and your insurance to get what you need to have done, nobody wants to pay out any more $$ than they have too and if your involved they'll know it's important to you to have it done right.

 

I just spoke with the body shop and asked a few questions..

They are thinking the car will be done by tomorrow but because of the icy weather they are not sure if the last 2 parts they need will come in.

I asked if the frame was bent and the guy said " it dosent have a frame it has a unibody" and that they had to pull the unibody to line up the infrastructure.

Also asked about the suspension. The guy said that a knuckle was broke and when you replace the knuckle you also have to replace a bearing and something else i cant recall.

 

I just picked up the car today. Every thing looks great from the outside. It drives well to, but the cruise control dosent work. So im going to see if i can find a thread on here with a diy on that.. If not i will bring it back.


Their was another Ferrari their to setting beside my s.. i got a few pics..

 

ooo looks like new oo i like f355

 

is it sitting a little lower on the passenger side, or is it the shadows

 

nice! now i guess i can see why regular joes can think s2k is a ferrari or a viper or w/e they confuse it with.

 

Our cars look so unsporty next to an F355.

 

must be the shadows..
