Drifting gone bad with my CA18det

[DriftinNC]

Well, it ice here last night so me and some friends wanted to go out and play in it. The night was going along pretty good until my car kicked back the other way, not sure iff i hit a dry spot in the road or ice spot, but it threw me into a curb and head into a tree at about 35mph

this might be the end of it with me and my ca18det, some guy offered me a trade for a running stock s13, i have no other choice than to do it because this was my daily driver and i have a fulltime job

[wildacexxx]

OMG WAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. U KILLED UR HOTT CAR. KEEP DRIFTING OFF THE STREETS PLEASE, I'VE SEEN THIS HAPPEN WAY TOO MUCH. sell me ur wheels now i need some for autoX

[sdtouge]

wild- your a jerk

driftnc- that really sucks. i am sorry to hear that. it looks like you could fix it over the weekend (minus the frame damage) with a new front end, a new intercooler and new piping. maybe just use silicon toobing (similiar stuff to radiator hoses) on the cold side until you have more time to fix it up.

that looks pretty bad, did you have your seat belt on?

i wouldnt trade, just hammer back te frame or weld in a new radiator suppet.

maybe its time for s silvis front end?

[DriftinNC]

You got to practice somewhere, im keeping the wheels...i looked for some mesh wheels for half a year and finally found these at a good deal

[8ggalant]

I understand te practice part but ...not when i know its gonna freeze over...tho it sucks ull bounce back....dont worry

[originalsin]

hey man, at least ur ok, dont worry about it, yea its liek money down the drain but that will come back in time, plus new projects are always fun, when i crashed mine, all i kept telling myself was to look forward to a new project

[Altiman94]

ouch dude. Gonna fix it or swap the setup to another car?

[midnightsliding]

i think its just the snap of open diff, and over correcting ,but that was just from my point of view. i dont know anything i ahve a ghay *** KAmo car that dosent run anyways. its sucks but ull bouce back im sure of it

[wildacexxx]

[QUOTE=sdtouge]wild- your a jerkQUOTE]

im not a jerk, im trying to help people understand that if u play in the street either u or ur car or god forbid somebody else will get hurt. is the motor hurt? i dont think there frame damage, maybe just change the rad support no?

*edit* after seeing the pix again there might be some bending but nothing significant. u sure u dont want to fix?

[float_6969]

You might get it to look alright again, but uni-bodys are NEVER the same again after a wreck. Whether you can see it or not, the entire body and frame of that vehicle has been damaged. They are designed like that to protect you and that is part of the reason that you walked away from it. Unfortunatly the car takes the brunt of the force and this is the result you get. I'd have to see it to tell for sure, but I think the car is probabally toast.

[f s t caz]

is it just me or does it look like the front lip survived?

[wangless]

looks like it survived to me

[float_6969]

I'll be darnd! I didn't even catch that!

[ca18datsun510]

meh, thats just a battle scar. ive driven worse then that.

damn i hate seeing ish like this. i wish you where closer, i would help you fix it.

[ca18datsun510]

um, not to be a scavenger, but how much would you want to sell it for, if you dont trade it? ill hook up the trailer and drive down.

[r34 gtr]

dude, that really sucks. ive got a radiator you can have, and a stock smic setup (minus most couplings) if you want it. sure the car may be a unibody and all that junk, but ive seen much worse in sanctioned events and most of the time those cars are just straightened back out (more or less) and driven again.

the thing i would be worried about though is that coolant overflow bottle. looks like yours is gone and those things arent cheap. if you REALLY wanted me to, i could go get you all of the pieces you need to fix it, minus the hood, at a local junkyard. i wont be home for a few more weeks though. they have everything you need, even the right color!!

[DriftinNC]

yeah, haha the front lip made it threw... ill probably just be selling the whole setup whenever i decide what i want to do 1st, iff not the whole car then just the motorset and ill part the car out and keep some stuff for my next s13

r34gtr- thanks for the help, but ill probably just end up selling it unless i find an s13 shell around here... oh yeah my overflow bottle is infront on the radiator support to the right of the last picture

the passenger side wheel is backed up into the fender a bit, so i know ill be needing some suspension work, the radiotor support is bent and that cuased the fender frames to bow in a bit

[mikeh16]

Sorry to hear about your car. I also hate to be a vulture, but if you want to sell that lip, hit me with an email: [email protected]. Hope everything works out for you, I know what it is like to have a job and no car to get you there.

Thanks,Mike

[r34 gtr]

yeah, and i could use a spare lip too, lemme know if its still around later..

[float_6969]

You heartless bastard vultures! You should be ashamed of youselved! Honestly...*shakes head

Oh, DriftinNC, where did you want me to send the money for that lip?

LOL, heheheh

[DriftinNC]

haha, im another lucky s13 with a lip, it took me a while to find 1 of those also... ill be keeping it to put on my next s13

[midnightsliding]

[drftnassmofo]

DriftinNC,

what kind of hood "was" that?

[Nismo1182]

This is why I stopped drifting. Id be very pissed of if I wrecked my car into a curb and/or tree.

[DriftinNC]

used to be a carbon fiber hood, but some guy wrecked with it before and fixed it to good condition, and it was painted flat black. Im not sure what brand it was or anything, i just bought it off of midnightslidin for $50

[JustinStrife]

Damn man that sucked. You gonna do CA again?

[DriftinNC]

Damn man that sucked. You gonna do CA again?

I loved the engine and everything, i had alot of plans for mine... but i think im just going to stick with the KA

[8ggalant]

I loved the engine and everything, i had alot of plans for mine... but i think im just going to stick with the KA
