How many of you would drive after a big hit like that?

I probably wouldn't have lulz.
Good job to you nearly taking out Jeff Jones. What a douche that guy is. I wish you would brake checked him enough to make him spin. Although he probably would have cried again to get his way. Loser.

Btw, is your rad support bend badly? Or is it all sheet metal damage?
Needs a new radiator support, probably will tub the front fender wells, replace front cross member, custom bumper support, pull the frame back into place. This car will last me one more season at least.

I wish I had time to have fun.
The bent tie rod happened during the first practice session, which was very short. I only got about 6 runs in before it happened. Originally, I tried bending it back somewhat so I could get more practice in, but it required removing the fender so I could get a pole in there to hammer it with. Removing the fender meant pulling off the bumper (x2 zipties), headlight (x2 zipties) then the fender (x3 bolts). That didn't work so I just replaced it. Then I got back onto the track during qualifying runs and went last.

BURST is quite the plan We (the team) were going to paint the cars Burst pink/purple, but we decided against it.

Plan so far will be DMAX hood, fender, full kit, corner lense, roof wing. Jackson so nicely gave me a passenger side brick headlight, and I still have the driver side one, he also gave me a new GTR grille.

Paint will be a secret color.

As for the rest. Time to pull the motor, pull the frame, put in a new rad support, tub the wheel wells (they're creased, so might as well) spot weld the car, re-paint interior/engine bay, learn how to drive better. Then we're set!

You have no idea. EVERYBODY at 626 tells me to raise my car. They claim it will handle better. Screw that, even if my car drives better, it's not going up.

Form over function all the way.

What mods do you have to your suspension for it to be that low?

All I have are maxxed Megans with no collars, stock tie rods, PBM ruca and toe rods, tein tension rod.

Did you modify anything at all, or did you just run it like that??

Hmm, well some people were telling me that to be that low I had to make modifications to raise up the cross member and rear subframe and fabricate spacers for the tie rods so they can run horizontal instead of angled.

But I don't know, because I like the way my car drives...

that is all bull****.

my tie rods were angled SO far up. it was ridiculous.

I can barely install arms, so modding subframes.. NO WAY JOSE.

anywho.I don't think my new car will be THAT low.

Nonsense. The thread had no purpose now anyway.

You just helped me gain confidence in staying low.
