    you can race for cash if you know the right people. of course, you
    a ) have to be an idiot
    b ) have a stupidly fast car to be so confident
    c ) have a full license to lose or not have a license at all...

    From the radiator forward wouldn't be all that hard would it? Just removing the wrecked stuff and bolting on new parts? No welding?

    i would NEVER remove impact beams or anything remotely as silly, as charged has shown thats how you do weight reduction (my datto looks extremely similar at the moment) but the car is as i said to be driven daily so i want it to look tough, have the power to back it up and still be comfortable, not overly noisy or harsh riding.

    Id never race it for more then $20 in between mates (ive done it once or twice and lost both times... stupid skylines... ) it gets out of hand and can cost you more then then your money.

    kingofthering, i respect your right to opinion but seriously, you dont know jack about imports do you?

    yes i promise not the try tackle the cruiser again even though i won the fight, it just cost me a lot more

    Wreckedexotics.com has an area devoted to non-exotic cars.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I'm new here, and I don't want to make waves, but dude, you need to have insurance. Its crazy to dream up ideas to make your car better, and then not even insure it to protect it and much less to disregard everyone else on the road. I don't know what country you live in, I'm in the US and we are self insured. If there is an accident, there is a lossand someone is at fault. If the persona at fault has no insurance (which many people have insurance to cover), they have tremendous exposure, legally, to pay for the damage they caused. Forget the Nissan, you're lucky no one was seriously injured or killed.

    Hes got third party insurance. Everyone here does. As hes already said, its an arm and a leg to get insurance because of how turbo cars and drivers are stereotyped

    The insurer's risk-assessment seems to have been pretty accurate in hindsight
