r u serious, i would fucking shoot someone with a large caliber gun

qft!

True story. Ben is sucks and t1r blows

There is real judgement problem there too to park a car in a commercial garage without insurance...

like....wat?

drive through a garage door maybe 10km max? = total loss? for a $40k car
unbelievable

That's shaddy

LOL... who wants T1R coilovers anyways? not I dear sir....

But that being said... sad day to see an s2k get scrapped :(

Rumor also has it that someone was slipping money under the table, and got caught.

2 years ago a staff member at ajr offered me half the price as long as I buy more that $10,000 retail. Not going to details but some shaddy shit going down. Now I know how some of these kids afford those crap. And I wonder if the owner "ben" knows about it.

So many haters in this thread. If you can manage to outsource crummy decade old design and rebrand it because you know 90% of the car fans out there are cheap and retarded - you should make boatloads of money from crummy coilovers copied from Teins but spraypainted a different color.

Let's be realistic here, CRA won't be knocking on AJR's doors anytime about their cash sales. May as well bust all the nearby sushi restaurant first, ROFL

Nice S2K, sucks to see it in scraps.

top looks to be in good condition, wonder why they didn't part that out

damn such a nice car

x2. Sell what people will buy. Simple.

=*( such a beauty!

what happened to the black s2k at espot? i'm interested to hear about that...it was vandalized/burned??

Interesting, seems like there is more behind this story.

Lots of our customers leave cars with us that don't have insurance. Pretty hard to insure a car that doesn't exist yet (like a restoration of a classic that isn't even in one piece yet). One customer dropped off a car that was literally a bunch of boxes of parts.

Our garage policy covers these vehicles. In 4 years I only remember one claim being made, and it was a doozy. $100K+ fully custom hot rod had a sticky throttle and was driven into the back of another car. Expensive repair bill (about $20K) and we used our policy to pay for it.

As far as I'm concerned, any shop with the sign up "not responsible for damages" is not worth dealing with. Or perhaps there's a reason they won't cover damages (like not having/unable to get proper insurance).

If you don't have a bunch of yahoos working for you, then accidents are very rare, and therefore, claims are rare too.

lol, i don't know who would want to pick up those $1600+ Taiwanese made coilovers ;)

but yes, poor S2K nonetheless.

ps - i thought Dixon's S2K is sitting behind G5 on cinder blocks?

Dickson...Dixon...?

yah that dood, sorry, didn't care much for the spelling.

Sad to see such a nice car in that condition.

that's his IS300
there's a whole beefy story behind that original post but lets not get into details

you're rite i totally forgot but yes, let's keep that story out of it. :)

arent all those A&J S2K's just stock with some suspension mods and stickers?

yes...that's why ben's s2k AND fit won the super street time attack 1st place for its class right? :rolleyes:
and if t1r is as crappy as you guys make it sound, then it must NOT be functional, but then how can they shave off laptime using t1r?? omGAWD!!?
