i'm now an owner of a 2005 Honda s2000....my fiancee' picked up a 2007 civic si 9and since i got my car right after sh ego thers on the same night i got a very nice deal on it)..extended warrenty adn everythign etc. etc.

that car took the hit like a champ! glad you're ok tho!
damn that just sucks.. that's why i have my 5 second pause i do when the green turn arrow hits, just in case this doesnt happen.
best of luck on repairing and replacing the car tho hope you consider another 8 !

lol yea i have a few things i've salvaged off my car. axial flow short shifter, RP super cat, i also have a cabin air filter, and an engine air filter (for original air intake), i also have 3 BF guages (white) oil pressure oil temp, and water temp. no control unit (my leg hit it in the accedint and broke it open), and no sensors for the guages (they were in the engine bay which was crushed)
going to post in the wanted/for sale section one of these days
oo and 6 quarts of 5w20 royal purple..lol my new car doesn't take that grade
both me and my girl like out new cars.....the s2000 and rx8 perform about the same...the 8 is just smoother...and the s2000 is faster. but oh well both fun cars.
hopfully i win a lot..maybe i'll get anouther 8

Im in Arlington. if you have leftover 8 stuff (in addition to what you listed) you really want to get rid of, pm me, i might be up for some!
Any work on the s2000 yet? I think they're great cars.
Good luck.

I can't believe I finally came across this thread. Sorry to hear about the accident and am glad that things have worked out.
Have fun in the S2K. Watch out for stupid drivers running red lights and other inane things. The S2K is even smaller than the 8.
I might have missed it but what did the insurance finally give you for the 8? Get a good deal on the Honda?
