Well, I totalled my car tonight...Going a bit too fast sround a tight corner that I knew was there, locked up the tires and bam hit a curb. Proceeded to spin 180 degrees onto a sidewalk at which point my car was laying on my $200 18" rim in the rear and the front tire was inverted towards the body of the car. The rear hub completely snapped off and all of the control arms in the front snapped...
As Enes would so perfectly say: Why does life suck so much? Anyways, since my car will more than likely be totalled I will be going back to stock in the next few days...Here is what I have and what I still need: MBC - Have the stocker BOV/UIP - Have the stocker Intercooler - Friend has a 1g Ex Man - Friend has a 1g O2 - Friend has a 1g Turbo - NEED A T25!!! Exhaust - Have a 1g, but let me know if you have stock 2G FWD!!! Injectors - Have some that will fit Fuel pump - Have the stocker ECU - I'm keeping my damn dsmlink! Leaving it out... Air Intake - Still have stocker Clutch - Have a stocker Tranny - Anyone have a broken one they want to sell/give me? Flywheel - Anyone have one? Shocks and Springs - They are pretty jacked, I'll leave em on I guess... Basically I need a T25 for sure, the tranny and exhaust aren't necessary but let me know! Anyone know if they will try to start the car or look at the engine when they come to appraise it? It's been a lovely day! Chris Carey |
That really sucks. Sorry about what happened. I will look around for parts. I may go to the juckyard soon.
|
Well it will probably be appraised next week, so I need parts ASAP! I will be checking out what elite has tomorrow...
|
I have a bad T25 you could mb have.
|
That would be sweet, will you be at dyno day tomorrow? And how much would you want for it?
Chris |
How much you willing to pay? Id have to pick it up from my friend who says it works fine....
|
I'll talk to you tomorrow at Elite...
I think Enes has exhaust for me, but I still need a flywheel, ECU, T25 (Khadgar), and replacement tranny... Anyone? Thanks! Chris Carey |
Sorry to hear that Chris. I talked to you for a bit tonight, but I was downtown with Tom. We was Ho Huntin'!
|
Wow, that really sucks. Sorry to hear it Chris. Same thing I told Swanny though, one way or another if it is handled right, it should work out in your favor. Enes definately has your exhaust. And if for some reason the t2small doesn't work out with Kyle, he has a really cheap one as well. Good luck with this and of course keep us all posted.
|
I'm sorry to hear about this Chris :cry: This has been a bad week for a lot of people on here. I hope you get everything to work out in your favor and I'm glad that you are ok.
|
:confused: Sorry to hear that :confused:
|
Yeah, at least I am OK...At least I have you guys for some support :) I guess I will be going AWD now?
Oh yeah, and to make things worse I forgot to mention the reckless driving ticket I got for totalling my baby... It's like I got kicked in the face, and the cop kicked me a few more times while I was on the ground... CC |

Damn that sucks! But your right, it's just a car and as long as your alright everything will work out in the end.
|
No, he didn't see it, but my car was rotated 180 degrees on a sidewalk...He took pictures of the skid marks (if there were any?) and my car. It was obvious I was going too fast. I couldn't think of anything bright to say at the time...Any ideas for my court appearance???
Chris |
Just plead guilty and own up to the fact you were going to fast....why does every one try and get out of what they were doing?
|
In this case I agree, unless the road conditions where bad, I bet if you plead guilty, be respectful, and just look/seem bummed about the whole thing I don't see anything really bad happening since they might think your car being total is punishment enough.

It's at Elite going on right now. See the Events section. Man you need to spend more time here. lol. I couldn't make it due to cleaning the house for new roomate. |
Mainly because my insurance rates will skyrocket on the accident alone, all I need is a reckless...Why wouldn't you try to get out of it?
|
Maybe you should have thought of that as you were speeding around the corner? All I'm saying, and like everyone else told Tom.....if you can't pay the fine, don't do the crime. I'm tired of hearing how everyone wants to get out of it for this and that reason....well, if you can't afford to have insurance skyrocket, drive normal. That's all....
|
I would try to get out of it. The fines are going to be expensive along with the insurance hike. From what I have heard, a wreckless is just as bad as a DWI. I would try to say that someone cut you off or something. Say you didn't bring it up at the time with the officer becasue you were not thinking strait after the accident.

I'll take pics tomorrow, and I personally think that destroying my pride and joy was lesson enough. I won't do it again, and I don't think me paying some fine will make me realize the err in my ways anymore than I already do...Everyone makes mistakes, to err is human...Live and learn, live and learn...
Chris |
Sorry to hear about this Chris, I wish I could help you out with parts but all the stuff I have laying around right now is for a 1G.
|
Thanks for the support guys, I appreciate it...If anyone wants to really go out of the way the "going back to stock" party started tonight and hopefully ends tomorrow ;)
Chris |
Hey sorry to hear about your loss. That really sucks.
Im about to join you in the going back to stock idea. My car decided it wouldnt start about an hour ago after a movie. Car has been hard to start ever since the new 190 fuel pump and cold weather set in... Im pissed and want a reliable car back. Ill try and fix it tommorow... Sorry to whore up the thread. I would come and helo but tommorow I got my own headache and I was planning on studying tommrow for school... GRRRR :fworld: :censored: |

I have some pretty hefty homework myself...I already have a heated garage and two other guys, so all is good...Thank guys!
Chris |
Well got everything out, and even got to keep my wheels and tires...The appraiser was buy today and it is totalled. Guess I will be DSMless for a while...Now I need to worry about this damn wreckless ticket...
What a week from hell indeed... Chris |
yeah your welcome for the heat for that garage!!! haha glad to hear that you got to keep your wheels dude! Look in the for sale section dude.....thers a 1G for sale....or trade...trade him the honda!!!!
KJ |
did you think to try to buy it back? I know a guy that had a gread 95 gsx that he bought back for 900 bucks... he ended up fixing it because it was so nice but if he didn't it would have made a great parts car. just a thought that you might be intrested in.
|
I'm waiting to see what the price will be, but it is a definate option...
Chris |
dang dude that really sux. It's funny cuz like the person who told me about this site was telling me how awesome he thought your car was. His name is Erik, he's kinda a friend of a friend, i've only met him like once or twice, but he seems kinda cool. But he said he raced around with you one day. He just bought a 1g gst. and he was tellin me about your car, and said that u were like a member on this site. Then he told me your name on here and i started laughin cuz i have a rear license plate frame that says across the top 4G63, and the bottom reads "V8 KILLA!" and it kinda reminded me of your name. anyway, sux about the car tho, maybe its a sign to go awd man!
|
Do you still need a T25?
|
Pictures of the totalled car?
|
Well here they are...
http://www.msnusers.com/TotalledCar/shoebox.msnw It is hard to see why exactly it is totalled, I tried to get some pics of the bent subframe stuff but they didn't turn out well...On top of the obvious suspension parts both the front and rear supports that go under the car are bent to hell. And there is some damage to the front bumper, rocker panel, and some other things I am sure...Oh yeah, the axle pulled out of the boot on the passenger side too... Enjoy! Chris |
Didn't you have problems with the boot thingy at the Shootout?
|
Well the outer boot kept tearing, that was the driver's side...The inner part of the passenger side axle is what got torn apart in the accident...
Maybe I can get the video of my car being dragged onto the flatbed, that would e fun! Chris |
Went to court today...Prosecutor knocked it down to a careless driving, but I got a $300 fine plus $70 in court fees!!! That hurts...
