Yes, my 1JZ swap was finished literally less than 2 weeks ago.

What happened was, I has just come out of a turn to get onto the interstae on-ramp. Right as I was comming out, I gunned it, hit some sand/graval, spun the tires and lost control. Overcorrected once and then slammed head first into a big cement wall. There was major damage to the front (fenders, hood, front bumper obviously. headlights were disintegrated. radiator was spewing fluid, but I think the motor was ok.) the rear quarters actually had some damage, and my rear is also messed up from spinning around and hitting again.

Hopefully the car isnt totalled out, I'm really hoping it isnt. If I can get it fixed, I'll be going with a 1997 conversion, with a carbon fiber hood and an spraying the whole car in RSP. I have a $1k deductable, so I'm going to be putting my system on the market soon (so interested buyers look out ) to pay for that, since I am already in debt from the swap.

If it is totalled out, I will be aggivated but it wont be the end of the world. As little as I paid for the car compared to its market/book value, I should be alright. Then I can buy the car back and drop stuff back into a new SC. Chances are I wil be going with an automatic this time though, 5-speed SC's are not going to be in my budget. And I am thinking about getting an oldr GS300, or as a last resort doing a 240SX project.

My insurance company is State Farm, so I should be taken care of there If I left anything out, let me know. Its been a long day.
