      Obviously you'll save a ton of money, it's up to you to decide if that's worth all of the time and effort to wind up with a car with a branded title and no warranty.

    Good to see that airbag sensors are still super exposed and vulnerable to damage during a crash. I had the smashed one sitting in my center console forever to remind me of how it didn't fire after my body shop pulled it out of my 8th gen civic after I had a head on collision.

    • @Hawk7886
      @Hawk7886 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They're not exposed at all, the system self-tests on every ignition cycle and if a sensor can't be detected it immediately throws a fault. Airbags aren't guaranteed to deploy in a crash, it depends on a ton of variables. Ben was wrong when he said you just need one sensor - the system needs multiple inputs before it decides to fire an inflator.

      It’s not a resto
      It’s brand new.
      It’s a brand new car that needed quarter pannel body work.
      That they are subletting to an actual body shop.

    maybe a good Paintless dent repair can fix your rear quarter damage. might be more expensive to do than just replacing it. but with a PDR, you dont have to cut the rear quarter up. to presereve its structural integrity. really excited with this FL5 rebuild. looking forward for next weeks upload.

    • @Hawk7886
      @Hawk7886 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The integrity was already comprised when it crumpled. I can't wait to see how good the repair looks when it's done. Master body guys are amazing to watch.

      @@stephngibson5517 ive seen firsthand what a good PDR guy can do with massive dents tha size of a basketball with multiple creases and after he finnesse that sheet metal, like nothing happened. the original paint was left intact too. it was quite amazing really. but yeah you're right maybe its too far gone for that kind of repair. very excited to see what kind of repair they would do to it next week.

    Honda technician here: you have to remove the headliner to replace the side curtain for the airbag. Most of your lights in the dash are all related to one or two problems, when a lght is trigerred, all the rest are following…

  • @mynamisis
    @mynamisis 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Whats really crazy is that if you look at the acceleration from the footage its only like 5g which means the car took like a quarter second in that impact. That tire wall is putting in work!!!

  • @notjohnedgell
    @notjohnedgell 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Honestly the body damage isn’t gonna be bad to replace or fix except for the rear fender. I’m pretty sure you can use regular civic hatch doors (not including rear door because of the wide-body), headlights and taillights as replacements.

  • @royoprince879
    @royoprince879 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey Ben, from the last thing I heard about those warning lights, it could be that the "Honda sensing" sensor uncalibrated during the wreck, if they really bother you, the dealership should charge about 2.5k, which might be a lot, but at least you can drive the car with all it's features

    • @Hawk7886
      @Hawk7886 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No way, it's going to need a ton of stuff. The millimeter wave camera has to be replaced, the BSI sensor was crushed, and if Ben is unlucky it'll need a steering rack if it won't learn its neutral position. With the airbag deployment you're supposed to replace the SRS module along with whatever devices fired, too.

    Xou mentioned how crazy this all happening in an instant is but i saw 4.75g maybe higher on the g meter during the main impact then 2 something on the secondary which is not small at all thats pretty good if thought in terms of moving things, when thats considered on top of not one injury whatsoever, (it seems) thats the most important thing here though lets remember!!

    Looks like the same kinda damage that Charles from the Humble mechanic just tacked in a Golf R.. That series was fun to watch and this would should equally be enjoyable!

  • @ZunigaGarage
    @ZunigaGarage 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    All of those warning lights are caused by the millimeter wave radar being damaged. Even slighlty out of alignment they will set all of the driver assist system warning lights on. Once that radar is replaced and aimed they will go away.

    The last gens Type R´s where comically overstyled, but the current one is just right for what it is :)
    This one had an oopsie but can be repaired.
    At first I thought about getting the negine to swap into something else, what happened to the second RX8 ? :)
    The american " dealer markup" is a scam, here in europe people would rat out a dealer that was trying to get more than MSRP...
