My Evo got PWNT tonight.
I was driving along and all of the sudden I see a piece of concrete appear underneath a truck in front of me.... nothing I could do.... heavy traffic.
It sounded very bad..... very very very bad. So I pulled over and look at the front bumper.... it must have just cleared it, I'm worried to see transmission or gear oil all over the underside.
I look underneath and see that my down pipe is caved in to about half the size, the first cross member (the one with three botls) that attaches to the two lower control arms is bent so badly it has torqued the points where it bolts to the lower control arms. I think they're fixable though, hopefully you guys can help me out.
I start to look more, it missed the transmission and all drivetrain components, well it hit the front of the transmission but it appears the transmission was stronger and I really don't see any damage at all.
I keep looking and see it *touched* the break lines and doesn't apear to have damage them at all, hard to tell but I don't even see a kink. It dented the gas tank, hopefully the fuel pump is ok and I guess my gas will cost less, heh. But I CAN see the bare metal, will this rust?
It's been a really bad fucking couple of weeks. I'm worried about it making to MN but with no drivetrain or suspension damage I think it will be ok. I was even lucky enough to have it miss the oil pan.... by about 3 inches.
When I get there I would like to fix the cross member, anyone wanna lend a garage or anything? Does anyone think I'll have any problems or is there anything I should look at?
Ugh.... thanks guys.
