So my last run of the day at todays autocross I lost control and hit a concrete tree planter head on.

HEre is a basic picture of the course and my off

Basically I came across the finish carrying to much speed. It was off camber and decreasing radius. I was going for my top time and gave it just a bit too much gas going across the line. The tail came out out and when the chassis settled back down I was pointed straight for the concrete planter. I locked the brakes up because I panicked and there is not much more to be said.

I'm in need of an Oil an and VH PS pump if anybody has an extra, Ive got paypal ready.

Pretty s***ty Saturday.

Here are a few pics of the carnage from Saturday.

I don’t think the wheel is supposed to be sitting that far back. The Lower control arm is really tweaked.

Oil pan in all of its “Tin can “ like glory

Control arm and strut rod bracket are FUBAR!

I’m going to try and replace the entire sub frame and basically everything that connects to it. We will see how far funds go.
