Default Re: The Road to an STi - Damage is $4200.. What else to do while car is in the shop?

Good to know you guys are okay. Sucks, but it happens. At least you have some time in the shop to work on it.

Just curious, did you ever put the sparco harness bar in for the Bridge Cugas?

I mean you could opt to supply a rear bumper than have them buy an OEM one and paint it. Or trunk lid with a different wing, etc.

Default Re: The Road to an STi - Damage is now $7200.. Teh Mature Diffuser is dead! 3/31/08!

UPDATE: 3/31/08

For anyone that is following this.....

The mature diffuser is dead! RIP

Allstate sent me a check for a new one and (instead of letting me keep the cracked one and show with it for the meantime) decided to crush that shiz

Now i gotta order from japan again and who knows how F'ing long thats gonna take I got no diffuser to show with now.... I HATE Allstate

I dont know if i should just buy wheels now or just go back and buy another diffuser? Anyone have an opinion?


In other news, my car should be up and running again by the end of the week. There was additional damages done to the car which im going to get a detailed printout of also this week. I wanna know what was damaged on the car and fixed.... I do know that one of my struts were bent and i had to get a brand new strut and im getting ANOTHER alignment once again. It brings the total damage now up to $7200... Im going to fight Allstate or his insurance company to get my 1K deductible back.

As far as injuries go...

My back is feeling better however i gotta goto physical therapy twice a week and i can walk around without having to take pain pills. I got another doctors appointment again on friday with the ortho..

I must say this whole thing has been a nightmare and alot of stress

NY state laws suck i wish i could sue that Motherfuc*er for all the stress and hassle hes put me through.

I say move forward brotha and get wheels, then down the line get a unique rare JDM Ballers Club rear bumper and don't look back. No offense, your diffuser was definitely top billin' but it was starting to become common amongst the brotha-hood.

Glad your ok, how are those 800MG Ibuprofen's? Or better yet 5 or 10mg muscle relaxer's that put you on your a$$ ? That ish is not fun, becareful taking whatever they gave you. Can't you tell I've been there...

At least you are getting things worked out. About the deductible, the only way you are going to get that back is if Allstate subrogates the other guys insurance company. This is a pretty straight forward accident, so I dont think it will be a problem for Allstate to be paid back. At that time, they should get you your deductible back.

Hope you get to feeling better.

About the diffuser, The Mature looked sick. But what if you went with a set of wheels and a cheaper diffuser? I dont know how much you paid for it...

Yeah everyone is pretty much tellin me to get wheels now... and i can order up a new diffuser later.... The pills are good but the massages at the physical therapy are even better!

Yeah i need to find out what allstate is planning to do with the claim... I def want my deductible back.. I wonder how long all that is goin to take? Hopefully a couple more weeks this is goin to be all over and things will be back to normal.

I wouldnt buy anything else....Im gonna try and get the car back to where it was... Im gonna be putting in a order for parts soon as soon i decide what direction i wanna take the car next...

I need wheels though like yesterday!

sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident.

however, it is important that you make sure you are good before you say you are good.... once you say, "i feel better" the payment from his end of your therapy is gone.

im saying that i would keep going for a month or two after it feels better. you dont want to be huffing the bill for that, often times it will feel better then come back and hurt a few weeks/months later...

let us know what you decide on buying.. i know from your previous posts i've seen that you LOVED that diffuser, i remember seeing the install pics..

Get whatever YOU like or need first. I know you will end up with both of them

The car will be A-okay in no time.
Best of luck recovering!! -Mike

Glad to read that you're doing a little better. Back pains are no bueno that's for sure!

...and about that diffuser. Sad to hear about that. But hey...I've got a container stuck in customs with a few of those on there.
