Damn crazy but that g37 rebuild looks more costly than buying a new one.

I think he established that he is doing the work himself with help from friends at a shop. Cost would most likely just be materials which would not be AS bad but still very costly. Still less than a new one for sure though.

Not true, buying a new one is 16,000 KD fixing it and rebuilding cost 4,000 KD a used one is 11,000 KD so its still cheaper than buying a new one ;/ otherwise i would have done that instead

Can wait to see the rebuild. Sorry you had to do it in the first place but it's a great opportunity to upgrade the car like you're doing....especially if you have the funds to do it. GL!

How the hell much over the speed limit were you traveling anyway?

Looks to have been an expensive lesson my friend.

Speed limit is 80~101kmph i was doing around 110 at most so no wasn't really a lesson when the speed bump is unmarked on a road where it shouldn't be anyway... it's not my fault -.-; some people gotta stop making it sound like it is lol
