R.I.P Spoon Se-i

[3rd GEN]

well..i didn't want to post up yet cuz it's very sad..and it's hurts just to think about it or even look at her..but yes saturday nite, my poor baby met her fate

i was following my buddy home and we were approaching an intersection, when the light changed.. my friend at first hesitated to go through the amber light, but then he decided to stop..well i had lots of room, but i didn't think he was gonna stop as fast as he did..and he knew that too..so i hit the brakes, brakes lock-up...i start sliding at about 60-65km/h and i slid rite into the rear of my buddies car..

damage is severe if not fatal for my car.. the whole front-end is basically gone..the rad blew and engine died on impact..the right side took the worst..the right headlight is about 3inches back of the left headlight, the battery got pushed and moved under my intake, my engine is actually sitting on an angle cuz it broke the motor mount aswell..so ya..it's not pretty..
i am 100% sure it will be a write off..which is really sad..cuz my car is soooooo rare, and there is no more like it around i don't want it to be written off..but i'm sure it will be..cuz i think there will be more structural damage aswell..

my buddies car will most likely also be a write off..his was driveable, but it wasn't driving straight, and by the time he got it home, it was leaking gas..he has a 92 EG sedan civic..man i feel sooooooo shitty and bad...but there was nothing i could do

unless the insurance company decides to fix it or if i ca find another 3g exactly like mine...i think that will be the last of me having a 3g..time to get a teg
i will most likey be getting a 90-92 gs teg..then do full jdm conversion..

but anyways..i will let you guys know whats gonna happen..
rite now, my baby is hurting..badlly

sorry to hear about that. I know its hard to say goodbye to a good car. if you deside to part it out Ill make it worth your while and your close to me so no shipping required. If you are interested in this option PM me. Also do you have any pics of the car. i lost all mine when i swapped computers.

Sure was a pretty car

[lightbulblxi]

that blows man, nice lookin car.

['A20A3']

Yeah dude, I always did like your coupe. The color was great. Sorry about your loss but if you really liked the car you should try to get another one before you go and buy a Teg.

Was your friend that you hit pissed off?

Post some pics of your car if you're willing.

Hope everything works out for you man.

[Bryan]

Damn bro, so are you ever going to start over?

[PortugalFocus]

it's sad to say goodbye to a car you love............

[MrBen]

Had something similar happen to me, except my friend was an idiot and did not tell me his brake lights were not working. I smashed my drivers side headlight in. I fixed it... slowly... but now you can't tell it ever happened.

Reading your story made me realize how much worse it could have been. Unfortunately it was out of my control just as it was for you. Sure, had you seen it earlier you MIGHT have been able to stop in time, but I doubt it.

I'm sorry that happened and I hope things get worked out alright.

[adams86lxi]

sorry to hear that, the car in your sig is awesome!

[nswst8]

is it fixable damage
cuzz that really sucks man....im always worried bout crashing my car or somethin...cuzz i go close to people
maybe should start putting distance between me and other cars when i pass people
are you gona part it out?
if so ...im interested in the rims

[3rd GEN]

thanks for your remorses guys.. you guys are the best..
ya i love my car to death..all though i knew it was gonna be writtin off the nite of the accident..when i got the call from the insurance company today, telling me the car is a total loss..i wanted to cry again..it hurts alot to see it gone.. and each nite i keep thinking if only i could go back to that nite and it would be ok..but in the morning when i wake up, and i see my car is gone...it hits me..and it hits good..it's like loosing a best friend or your pet for that matter..and now that thing isn't around...it's weird..

ya my buddy's car is gonna be a write off to unfortunately..he wasn't pissed at me cuz he knew there was nothing i could do..so we are all fine..
everyone was shocked when i told them cuz they are all like " ahh man. NO that was such a sweet car" and yes it was..and there is NO more of it's kind around...and i totalled it shitty..very very shitty...

if the damage wasn't soo bad, obviously i want it back and they would fix it..but honestly, i don't want another 3G unless i can get one identical to mine back.. which i won't..and thus, i am gonna get a DA teg and swap in a jdm B16 motor.
so my new project will begin a new life on a new car

i will get some pics up soon

[3rd GEN]

haha sorry bro.. i'm gonna keep the rims..VERY rare and hard to find!
but if for some reason i decide to let them go, you'll be the first to know

[blazin3gen]

o man that sucks alot of ass i feel like crying

hey if your gonna part it can i have your cup holder tray pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

[od2681]

yeah those are hard to find....dont look expensive but look great....

[3rd GEN]

right now my car is at the insurance companies lot..i had the car towed home the nite of the crash..so i took most of my stuff out of it already..but we are gonna go back so i can chop off my exhaust, get my intake, ground wires,deck,and some other small stuff..and i'm gopnna try to keep the rims too...depending how much they are gonna give me for my car..

i'm just really sad and pissed off cuz i totalled one of rarest cars around..he;;, the tow-truck driver when he came had never seen that kind of car b4!!!!!!! and mine was almost mint!! very clean..i babied that thing..damn it!! soooooo shitty!!

[mykwikcoupe]

well if tis cheap enough to get the car back from the insurance company. get it and ill get the interior and the rear disk swap off you. The last time I totalled my car thay wanted 172 to get it back. If its cheap hell Ill even buy it from you. What color wasd the interior and what kind of condition was it in

[RobT5580]

Iv never seen an Sei coupe in that color looked nice it will be hard to find another one but they are out there you just have to be paitient. I doubt you will find that color again though cause the only ones i have seen are the blue ones and iv looked at about 5 of them so far but none were nice enough for me to buy. Maybe i will find one when i look for another coupe.

but good luck and i would see what the buy back is as well. The insurance company just gave my friend his truck because im sure they didnt want to pay the towing and crap so they never even took it from him and he still has a clear title cause they didnt stamp it.

[mykwikcoupe]

the ones I mostly see as the dark grey/charcoal ones with tan interior. Ive seen a few greay interiors but not many. In my case green goes good with tan or grey interior.

[3rd GEN]

ya i will look into that and see what it is..but ya mine is one of the only ones of it's kind around..and mine was 5-spd too!! thats what made it even more rare!

my interior was black..and in excellent condition..same with the rest of the car..almost mint!! thats why i'm soo sad, cuz it is such a beautiful car.now it's gone such a waste...and i dun have enough$$ to fix it up myself..otherwise i wouldnt hesitate and i would fix it..if i was loaded and i had cash..i would fix her up in a heart beat! she was an awsome car..everyone knew me cuz of my car..it was the cleanest one around

[NXRacer]

thats really sad to see such a nice coupe go. You should deffinately buy it back from the insurance. I bet you could pick it up for pretty cheap and make your money back selling the parts from the poor thing. I feel for ya. When i wrecked my coupe i was pretty sad, but i kept it and its slowly being brought back to life.

[SteveDX89]

I'm sorry to hear about your car. It looks pretty nice from the pic. I'd love to buy that entire interior but don't have the money. I hope everything works out for you and you can another 3g. We gotta keep you around.

Post 1000...Yeah baby!

[hkplayer]

Best of luck to you and your future car endeavours, please stay with the site if you can as well.

['A20A3']

Wait a damn minute...if you have the money to buy a Teg and do a JDM swap, then what the hell do you mean you don't have enough to fix it?

If you really love that car so much, why not just keep it and fix it instead of getting a common Integra?

$.02

[3rd GEN]

well you see..i don't have the $$ to fix it..I am gonna use the money that the insurace company gives me for my car, to buy a teg.. then EVENTUALLY do a JDM swap on it..

but i can only do 1 or the other..i can either buy the car back for the amount it is...then i have NO car and i get NOTHING back for it...
or i leave it and the insurance company will give about $4000-$5000 for my car

if money wasn't an issue i would buy my car back in a heart beat...i'm sure it can be fixed..but just not for what the car is worth..thats why it is a write-off..

of course i'm gonna stay with you guys...keep checkin out fellow 3gez..and giving my 2 cents when you need it..and who knows..i may end up getting another 3g at somepoint..

[SteveDX89]

Is 4000-5000 dollars in Canadian currency? You wouldn't get that much in the states.
