this is the end...

[rb240det]

Very sorry to hear about your accident. At least you are alright, that's what matters most. I hope that everything will work out for you.

[StricNyne]

wow carl, sux but from an accident all you can do is go up so GIT R DUN and let me know if you need misc s14 or rb parts !!

[s14 2510's]

I have a whole air bag system if you want a new one.

[madcowvert]

ouch!! gald to hear your ok...

[Cpt_Impossible]

I say a good excuse to do a kouki with wide fenders and a nice vented hood

[Carl H]

thanks for all the kind replies from everyone...it is appreciated.as far as the car goes im not sure whats up with it, i do suspect that there is something wrong with the toe/castor/camber arms because of the way that the car was feeling.its feels like my old hicas hatch when the hicas system would randomly freak out so im not sure.as far as front facelift goes kouki = ugly and s15 = expensive to do right, subframe is a soild mount setup with full urathane.oh well, i'll see what i want to decide to do with it when i get back.

Seems like alot of money to walk away from Carl. I say fix it then sell it, it's going to be hard just sell the motor alone and ect. Then u can join me in some boxer 4 fun aka GC8 STi ver 5-6 swap

I've always wanted to do a GC8 2.5rs STi swap project, such a great idea!

[BoostFab]

damn that's too bad.

the front end doesnt look too bad, i say new radiator support, fender, hood, bumper, set of air bags.....repair it....

s15 conversion is the phatest conversion on the tuner market today!

[tlkq]

That sucks Carl! I am a friend of spencers and he told me to talk to you about wiring help when i do my rb20 swap here in the next few weeks. He talks really big about you! Glad you are ok!

[Rb20_POWER]

Man, this sucks. At least you're ok Carl, hope to see your car on the road again! Later bro.

[JPsNissans]

Sorry bro, here's hoping theres less damage than it looks.

You think the diff might've locked up? That can cause a skittery jumpy feel in the *** end. My buddy had a Mustang that felt the same way when his diff went out of whack.

[devil_child]

oh dang dude. Glad to see you are physically ok. My only Idea is to check those loadbearing ball joints for play. Or the front end in general.

[FAST-DATSUN]

Glad your OK!!! look like its fixable , we but worse back on the road safely. if ther is no major damage to the frame from the shock tower back your GOOD....

[blurrbosi]

The diff acting up is definatly my first thought.

[cdorhout]

Keep your head up. This is what my 240 looked like when I bought it.

[27RB240]

LOL YOU DONT HELP TODD OUT!!!! Carl man that seriously sucks...But its good to know that you're okay

[Florida240sx]

I know of a green s14 for sale down here for 2k.

[rbsileighty]

Wrecks happen... like everyone said... at least you're ok!

I have a 85 Hardtop 5spd NA Z31 with your name on it for a 200ZR conversion should you find the S14's a lost cause... you're not getting rid of that motor by the way... ha... you don't get out that easy bud! I've raced an 87 Z31 like mine on Nelson's Ledges... pretty sweet ride with slicks and stock 3.0L NA... just imagine with your RB20 that has more power and weighs less (I think...)

[matafied]

man that sucks!! i was hopen to drive down and check the beast out when i got done with mine well good luck with it carl

[Carl H]

i sincerely thank everyone for their kind words but after a bit of deliberation ive decided to part the car and setup out...i'll have a large list up in a few days.

whatttt!?... hope you decide to stay in the RB family at least.....

im sorry to hear this. best of luck.

[Carl H]

oh i'll still be around in the forums and doing harnesses and what not...but ive come to the conclustion that i need to focus on other areas of my life first.ive been going at the whole car thing non stop for past 4 years and its kinda burned me out, just need a break from it.

[DJButton]

Yeah, I think we all reach that point at some time, but you'll be back eventually, with something better for a car. heh

Now get that parts list up! lol

[digzsublime]

Completely understand about getting burned out on cars. (currently own 5/wife has 1) But, you'll defintely be back with something bigger and better.

I'm glad you came out of the wreck ok. Still, a shame to part the car though since it looks completely repairable. But, you'll make more parting it out anyway. I wish you the best man. Oh, and I call dibs on the wheels.
