Car accident

[cathode26]

I hit a small deer and insurance is going to pay for a condenser and bumper.

I am not a mechanic, is there anything else you guys see that needs to be replaced?

Thanks!

If I had a front mount inter-cooler it would have been destroyed.

Not mayor damage! Are those the power steering cooling lines? You might want to replace those too!

Rip out the a/c system and condensor(better airflow to motor) tuck the power steering lines behind the metal bar, and buy a fmic. Unless it's hella hot where you live and your one of the few dsmers who use there a/c then nvm.

I am in Texas so I need the air conditioning. I don't know anything about car parts... can someone tell me where the oil pan is. Can you see it in any of those pics?

I had someone say I need a new oil pan and undertray, but I don't know where they are..

Not sure if serious... But the oil pan looks perfectly fine.

Whomever told you that is a friggin retard! See that part just the the right of your exhaust pipe in the 4th pic? That is your oil pan.. The lower most part of your engine, holds/stores all of your oil.. From what I can see, it looks like just the a/c condenser and lines are damaged.. Ya know other than the bumper.. Thats all I can spot from the pics.

Sorry but I honestly don't know jack or shit about cars. The bad news is that jack left town.

A problem a mechanic was concerned about is that the oil pressure sensor reads as zero while the car idles.

He looked at the oil pan and said there is a dent in it...

 

[gieri002]

If you're oil pressure goes up when you give your car more throttle, I wouldn't worry about the oil pressure. A small dent won't effect the oil pan in any way other than cosmetically.

It's pretty average to see low oil pressure at idle on the stock gauge there more or less just estimating. I would start by fixing things up first check any damage on the oil filter housing and sender. The oil pan is far back from there unless you see any oil leakage you should be alright. About half way while crusing 60 on the free way is what I get in one of my cars. Just check the dipstick after it's warmed up and make sure its full.

 

[cathode26]

It only goes up to half when it is given throttle. But as clipto said, that is what he gets. So I assume half way is normal.

Sounds pretty normal.

You can check it. If the oil pan is leaking, then look under the car. If you see oil dripping, then you might need a new oil pan. But that mechanic sounds like he's trying to rip you off, or he doesn't know any more than you about DSMs.

Have the dealer do an inspection. Usually, they'll do it for free, and they can tell you what's wrong with it.

You never looked at the oil pressure gauge before the accident?

 

[hazmat6135]

The oil pressure gauge in 1g's should barley be above the first lin on the gauge during idle. It can be as low as 15psi and will go up to 3/4 on some modded cars that see 120psi on the oil at full throttle and 7000+ rpm's. but for stock-ish cars it rarely goes above 90psi or halfway. Your pan is fine. You can remove those bent power steering lines and loop the rubber hose off the resevior. and all i see that is really damaged is the a/c condenser and lines + the bumber. Just pay attention and whatch for leaks. if you don't see any your good

 

[duckie1098]

Are you going to attempt to fix the car or a good shop that you trust doing it? As stated above oil pan looks fine. I'm in Texas and do not have A/C in my 1g, though it's only driven on the weekends for car shows and late night activities.

Could have always went to a shop and see if they had any bent up ones before the insurance agent took a look at it ...

This.

Core support looks fine also, however I thought 92 had a oil cooler in front?? Or am i missing it.

only 1990's had oil coolers to the best of my knowledge along with LSD Rear ends.

Do you have foglights? It looks like I can see the passenger side foglight, and the driver side one is gone......

My 92 has an oil cooler.
