It finally happened...

I injured my 240.

Weather conditions suddenly turned to **** on the way up, terribly slippery as huge wet snowflakes perpetually bombarded the ash fault. All causing me to be stuck on the highway, followed by the freeway in Edmonton. I couldn't turn back, so I continuned my trek to my Uncle's, hoping to make it in one piece.

All I could do was crawl and inevitably I wiped out as I didn't have my winter tires on my ride at the time. Upon wiping out I attempted to correct, while also attempting to reduce the fated impact as much as possible.

And lo, there are pics:



The pics aren't the best, obviously, but you get the gist of what's borked on my car now. As you can see, none of my lights even popped/cracked.

Now, I've turned this thread into a poll 'cause since my bumper will more than likely need to be replaced, what should I do? Shall I stay Chuki? Or should I go Kouki? I already have the tails after all, and plan on getting the side skirts at least in the future.

Lemme know your thoughts, guys! Other suggestions for the poll are also welcome!

Thanks man, I'm going to be filling my insurance claim tomorrow, as I do not have the cash to even think about buying replacement parts -yet-. But I hope you'll hook me up once I can get the ball rolling!

As for the guy who added the new poll option, I lol'd. I actually have winter tires, but I had a retard moment and DIDN'T PUT THEM ON.

Good luck with that - doesn't look too terribly major, no frame bentage or anything.

Because we all know that sucks. Majorly.

I somehow doubt this is enough damage to total it out. But any suggestions on how to prevent such an event besides just paying for it myself? Wouldn't be the first time...

you'd be supprised...

my friend "totalled his MR2 a few months ago. it was not his fault. a female in a van decided to do a u-turn in the same lane. the damage was going to be about $2000. the insurance co sent him a check for $5500 and let him keep the car.

just try to make sure you do everything you can to make them not total it..

good luck.

Wow... now I'm worried.

Guess I'd best try to get all the parts myself first and see what happens. Only thing I'm worried about is getting a new pop-up headlihgt casing/frame/etc.

If I were in your situation I would stay Chuki, It'll be a LOT cheaper and looks great.

F/S 95 part out

95 Pearl white, Navan Aero kit, JDM power folding mirrors, FK clear headlight lenses, infiniti QX4 projector retrofit, Origin clear corners, cusco OS trust tower bars, Eibach sportline, tokico HP, Z32 brakes 6K HIDs, kouki tails & 5Zigen FN01R

make it happen

Really? That'd be a freaking lifesaver! I don't even wanna know how much a headlight assembly goes for new.

I sent you an e-mail, but was retarded apparently and didn't read your post in it's entirety before sending it.

E-mail me back and let me know if I can grab the left headlight assembly from ya. That'd -really- help me out! Thanks a ton!

I really appreciate all the kind offers as well as the lulzy additions to the poll, which seems to have degenerated, but has definitely raised my spirits!

I;ll see if I can find a hello kitty band-aid, too. If anything I may have to improvise with at least a sanrio-related character, lol.

This is no S13, boy! No S13!!!

Yeah...

While I was at it, I put a hit out on the weather guys who said it'd just be a little flurries later on in the evening...

White Comet Sale
Daytona Blue paint
aftermarket gauges
welded diffs, diff housing and ring gear

wtb- s14 speed sensor

Partly why I'm taking it to my mechanic buddy before I even talk to insurance...

I've noticed there's really quite a demand for us Canuck's daytime running lights.

Are they really worth their weight in gold, or what?

It's really not that bad though. It sucks that it had to happen, but it could have been A LOT worse.

Again, I know, terrible in the snow...

I think you meant asphalt.

Whatever... that's doing pretty good for wrecking in the snow, 240's really suck in that kind of precipitation too...

I say double check the headlight actuator arms for cracking/damage cause any hit to that region can and will hurt that cheap plastic thingy. Kudos for keeping it in the corner where the 240 is strong, man!

Funny.

Yeah, firefox's auto correct sometimes sucks...

Considering the road conditions, I got out pretty lightly.

Blarg, sad thing is I practically have to repaint my entire car, AGAIN!

LOL thats the weatherman for you. they fit the position of a lawer.

I dont care how fast you are going, just GTFO of my way when i want to go fast And as far as trucks not getting fix it tickets and fines for noise: If you live anywhere where ppl have theese big BubbaFvck hillbilly trucks, chances are your cops in the area have the same sh1t in their driveway, not a bad *** melon launcher sh1te 240. thats why you get the ticket and not hooter stumpfvck riding with orville pigdicker in the monster truck. just remember not all truck drivers are douchebags but douchebags love big goofy trucks, so dont hate on oatmealman and teh lumberjack.
