Pudsey Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Cricky. Looks like the windscreen has pushed down under the roof slightly. Pretty serious impact that, being the front chassis area bending. Look forward to seeing how this develops. NB: What a shame just seen the pre accident image. Looked super clean before. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?357816-Hi-everyone-!!&p=4319742#post4319742 Edited May 20, 2020 by Pudsey NB added (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.gill Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Welcome to to the MKIV Supra world!! [emoji23] It's just some body damage- fix it and have fun! Just remember though, brother..... It's going to cost a pretty penny- I dunno about SC in regard to body shop and stuff because here in Los Angeles, people just assume you are loaded when you drive the Supra and they tack on the "Supra tax" [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12] MSOC and supraforums.com is the place to be for all your Supra needs, man! ALL THE BEST!!!! Very respectfully, Rishi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRAMAN352020 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Thanks alot everyone well the guy at the body shop looked the car over and is concerned with the timing belt is split her thinks the motor could of gotten damaged other than that he said he will fix as if it was never wrecked. I was reading about the engine and i see that if the timing belt breaks that it wont damage the motor is that true ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 If the engine hasnt been modified should be non-interference. Pity looks mangled at the front. Looks like a nice place to live btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading about the engine and i see that if the timing belt breaks that it wont damage the motor is that true ? As long as it’s stock and not been messed with then yes that is true, in stock form the engine is non interference. I am not sure if VVTI engines are though if this has one?

SUPRAMAN352020 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Im not sure whats been done to the car, I do know its making around 700 hp with the dynontune. Edited May 21, 2020 by SUPRAMAN352020 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Im not sure whats been done to the car, I do know its making around 700 hp with the dynontune. Then it probably has aftermarket cams and at that power will more than likely be internal damage. Imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRAMAN352020 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Im gona get a mechanic check the motor and see what he says. Edited May 21, 2020 by SUPRAMAN352020 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRAMAN352020 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi everyone the bottom chassis where the impact is shot any one know where i can get another one. Am i gona need to buy a front clip for this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I hope that was cheap!! (for the US market). I'm not a chassis expert but that front rail looked bad in pictures. It's probably going to need a front clip, cost vs value it might be worth breaking that and getting a straight car, or a rolling shell and swap it over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I do know its making around 700 hp with the dynontune. Or about 600bhp more than the previous owner could handle. If you assume it has high lift cams fitted then if it doesn't - that'd be a got away with it kind of moment. Have fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRAMAN352020 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Here is a pic where the car took the biggest impact. Guy at the frame shop said he can try his best to straighten it out but will be very tough to get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind my asking- around how much did you purchase the car in this state? Sorry if it was answered before. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 That block has taken a whack too, I'd be surprised if that could be saved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Isn't the block ok there, the alternator fixing shattered off? I have seen the engine mount crack the block mind so fingers crossed for that area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRAMAN352020 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) yes once they pull the frame i will get a mechanic to install the timing belt and see if the motor was harmed.

SUPRAMAN352020 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 engine does not seem to have any damage except for the water pump and upper water kneck. But still no guarantee until its started. I allready have a quote to build the engine incase something was ruined . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudsey Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Are you doing any of the work yourself? Or are you having to pay people to complete all the work. Surely it’s going to cost big money isn’t it? Are tidy cars very expensive in the states, or is it more you fancied a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRAMAN352020 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) No im paying for everything getting done on it im not a mechanic. Im gona try to get it right with about 20k thats my budget. I allready have Mostly everything needed to put my car back together once the body work gets complete im towing it to a shop that is expert on supras here local so they can check the motor to see if it was harmed.

Pudsey Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Cricky big commitment money wise, cars must be expensive in the USA. Fingers crossed all goes well with the next check. I am sure we are all looking forward to any updates on what they think they need to do with the repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRAMAN352020 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 yes i hope everything turns out well i will keep everyone posted as soon as the body shop guy gets close to complete or i see some advancement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
