Once repaired, PLEASE do a cost comparison. Fixing this car vs. buying brand new (msrp).

[@Hawk7886]

Obviously you'll save a ton of money, it's up to you to decide if that's worth all of the time and effort to wind up with a car with a branded title and no warranty.

[@tigerbiterhater]

@@Hawk7886this methods is only good for KZbinrs. Getting contents and views. Us regular folks. Even if at the end of it. You’ll probably only save $5-10k. With a branded title is not worth it. Assuming you have a shop(lifts), know what you’re doing , a lot of time and tools.

[@SacTuning805]

All about how much you get the car for. Air bags tend to be the most expensive thing about this.

[@AERoVALKYRiE]

Probably close to new and it will forever be a salvage title so I’d say not worth

[@MaxPwr176]

The "fast" ones I've seen have had over-heating issues and can't make it through a 20-minute hpde session. But true, likley never be a problem for the average owner (of any of the hot hatches) since they'll never be driven in anger on track

1:17 Just because your mom or your trust fund can afford a 20K mark up on a car doesn't mean that you should buy it. Its the same reason women's jeans cost twice as much as men's. If nobody was willing to pay 20k more they wouldn't charge 20k more.

[@idokwatcher2062]

life is short. we all want our toys and we want them yesterday.

That's the bs attitude dealers use to justify it. I wish more manufacturers would shut it down. It wouldn't fix the issue of dealers turning them into "used" units with a few hundred miles, but it sure would help. ​@@idokwatcher2062

Championship White is my favourite colour on these Not sure what you have planned, but Varis makes a really nice kit for the FL5; might be worth having a look at. There's so many 5×120 wheels coming out , so maybe the fact I see these in my feed daily is why I am so excited for this build. Stoked to see this restored to it's former glory with sauce.

Xou mentioned how crazy this all happening in an instant is but i saw 4.75g maybe higher on the g meter during the main impact then 2 something on the secondary which is not small at all thats pretty good if thought in terms of moving things, when thats considered on top of not one injury whatsoever, (it seems) thats the most important thing here though lets remember!!
