Hi!! My friend just wrecked his turbo Z, do you think it is going to be totalled from the picture? And he got hit in the back, he turned off the engine right after the accident, now he can't turn the engine back on? The only damage is to the rear which is smashed in and it also caused damages to the front fenders. He tried to call the place where he got the turbo done, but to no avail and some of you might know the place called SGP. Need advice, or opinions!!! Thanks for reading!!!!

 

I wouldn't want that thing back. I wouldn't be surprised if they totaled it considering the extensive body damage. I wonder how bent the frame is. Also, two thumbs down for those thieves at SGP.

 

omg...i hope your friend is ok.
im not sure if there's much you can do about it. looks really bad.

 

Are you guys talking about SGP in Houston, Rick - bad experience or stories? I must search this? I was looking to go to them in the future when I get my Z

 

i thought they have unibody's

 

and yea it looks totalled

 

They do

...and sorry OP but it's not looking good for the Z. On a positive note however, tell your friend to PM me if he wants to part with that polished plenum

 

One hell of a rear ender. If your friend has concerns I am sure he will ask.

 

SGP is from Houston, my neighbor tried to call them, but they never picked up. Recently, a popular Houston car forum dropped them as sponsors. My friend's said he saw lines of cars just waiting to be worked on, but he said he had no problems with them at the same time he was dropping some mighty dollars on them.

The neighbor is unscathed, was not shaken up, but thankful to be alive. He knows about this website, but he isn't net interested, so I'm helping him to find infomation. He is currently taking the parts out to see what can be salvaged, but definitely the engine is in pre-wrecked shape. He'll find out what the insurance says before doing any parting out. He said his car puts out 500hps.... Anyway, thanks for comments.

 

Just check out this thread for all of their latest fallout:

Pretty sure that car is totaled. Any damage to the unibody structure and or deployed airbags is usually a total loss.

 

It has to be totaled, the only thing i could think of is parting it out

 

Perhaps the safety fuel cutoff switch? It will allow the car to crank but no fuel in case there was spillage in the accident.

Also the car is totaled based on my best guess. Get the wrenches going and yank out the turbo kit before the insurance takes the car. Then sell to me for cheap!

 

Looks to be an older model. And unless a rider was put on the insurance, they won't cover the turbo anyway.

My bet is it will be a total loss. Buy it back, part it out.

I hope your friend is OK.

 

I heard SGP went out of business, PPL were talking about it on Houston-imports.

 

Thanks for reading, my friend is okay. My friend has already taken little by little from the car, but not the whole thing. If he does sell any of it, right here will be the place.

SGP made my friend very happy, but he didn't know what was going on until he wrecked and tried to call them. SGP is definitely isn't going to rise again given that they owe a lot of people money I believe.

 

That's DONE SON!

 

How much does your friend want for his turbo? Ill take it off his hands
