had my frs for two weeks..this is what happens - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm curious as to the flavor of that tasty, tasty looking sports drink on the windshield.

noAE86 · 07-31-2012, 05:47 AM

oh man that sux, i feel for you, such a nice colour too

get the insurance company inspector to look at the front chassis rails under the front fenders, thats where the crumple zone will be, (they look like triangular and tictac shaped indents, they are designed to bend and deform there, if this happens the chance of fixing this car to 100% is ni impossible, and future wheel alignments will be a pita.

get then to buy you a new car,

ft86's like it in the bumbum

At least no one was hurt.
A bit of a pisser though, hope you're properly sorted as soon as...

man everytime an FRS/GT86 is trashed, baby jesus cries. I would've gone totally ape sh!t at the dude who stopped/slowed down for no reason and also at the dude who rear ended me. I'd be throwing the most epic tantrum, rolling around on the other peoples car hoods and flailing my arms! that'll show em.

This car wrecked still looks better than most.

denverizzles · 07-31-2012, 08:33 AM

yeah...that looks like a five axis kit is on the way lol

In Florida they teach you in drivers ed (the kind you take AFTER an accident) that you should be able to see the rear tires on the ground of the car in front of you when you come to a stoplight/stopsign. I guess there are so many non-drivers and old folks down there that rear-enders are much more common place. My brother-in-law informed of that after I pulled up to my normal Md. stopping distance of about 3 feet.

5-10 is enough to push a car a few feet if it's a ton heavier. Especially if he was just on the breaks enough to have it stopped on level ground.

No pictures if the rear of the car, awfully suspicious...

Good luck with this!

With this being a new model, there will be nothing other then oem, on the downside parts may take a while. Glad you are ok.

joshua · 07-31-2012, 10:49 AM

So what does the rear end damage look like? What sort of vehicle hit your back end?

Style · 07-31-2012, 11:55 AM

Damn this really sucks. I'm crying inside :`(

bcmakesiteasy · 07-31-2012, 12:03 PM

Im at work and I will post pictures of the rear, Thanks for all the support guys. Is the damage enough in the front for me to get a brand new frs? And the rear really isnt that bad, theres a dent and a few scratches..but the guy must've gone like 10-15 mph cause the impact was pretty hard and the noise was just LOUD. Keep in mind we were in bumper to bumper traffic so I wasnt THAT far behind the guy in front of me. Oh the guy that hit me was in a 96' bmw 530 i or something like that.
