Anyway, I'm considering selling my whole engine swap setup together with ecu/Trans/clutch/alum. fly/bov/emulator..blah blah, dunno

Tomorrow I determine if I will repair the damages or not...we'll see.

i hope it's possible for you to repairs the damage....i can see great potential in the car...

Trooper said I was "probably going a little hotter into the corner than 35", but when you get pulled for a speeding ticket, you don't say "yea, I was doing 80 in that 55"..ya know?

I'm working on fixing it up now. If anyone has any of these parts, it would be a great help:

Driver front lower control armDriver front tc rodPassenger tie rod

Thanks!

Sounds like a good time to get some battle gear stuff on the front of the car.

Sorry about the hubs, didn't see that. Get another 240 and do it again.

Well a few people helped me look it over, and it's not that bad to fix up I guess.

So, if you have a front lca or tc rod lemme know!

Man...harsh crash. Lets see some undercarriage damage. Should have taken off the bumper before you pulled it though---fenders seems like they were still good after the crash.

Was trying to get the bumper off, but the tow truck guys were real a$$holes! They were in a big rush and were trying to have my dad charged by the cops for not getting out of their way...they broke the headlights, bumper..etc

Man I would have been pissed, you are paying them to do their job and if they dont want to do it, then find. I would have taken my sweet time getting the parts off and called for another tower.

first thing you need to do is put that thing on a frame machine. looks fixable though. I think I have a lca and tc rod, I'll check tomorrow.

We did a little bit of measuring on it, the front end is square as can be. Also no stress at the rear quarters. gotta get under it a little bit more and check everthing out, but i dont think it will need a frame machine. I think what saved the frame was the lack of a bumper support. when he hit the intercooler there was no stress on the bumper support and no torsion on the frame.

Damn man sorry to see it happen. I'm thankful you both are alright though, and that you're getting back on that horse. Nico can't afford to lose beauties like your S14 RB.

Thanks guys. I'm getting in onto a frame machine next week to have it checked out. I got the new lca and tc rod and will have it back running and driving again by the end of this week when the new fmic comes in.
