I would repair ...

 

Unlucky? You're alive! I'd say you are lucky.

 

Pics please!

 

How much money do you have in the car? Like someone earlier said, they're not going to give you money for the mods so if you have $15k in the engine it's just gone. I'd buy it back at the point. If its basic bolt ins I'd take off what I could and let em have it.

 

Maybe I missed it, but how much is the insurance company going to pay out if you decide to take the money?

 

Make sure you tell your insurance of any improvements or recent maintenance. I totaled a truck many years ago shortly after spending $1.7k to get the transmission rebuilt. Although they didn't give me the full $1.7k for the transmision work they did give me a large portion of it.

 

Guys, also be aware that his evo was not even sold in his country(Canada) originally. so there will be heavy fees in importing new parts.

IMO, I would fix it. at least you hit the right side and not the drivers to take out the ACD pump too.

Up to you though. I know getting a evo 8/9 in Canada is tough. not like here in the states.

Good Luck
