did you not stick a jack between the fender well and the dented area??

 

nice job on that 240 man. Il post up pics after I get the money for the stud weld dent puller.

I went to Les Shwab and supervised them while they looked at my car. They said i have a blown bearing up front (non related to the accident). The tech that was looking at the back was getting mad because nothing was obviously bent or broken. He did notice that the wheel had way too much toe in and said the wheel hub is made out of aluminum and is probably bent. He said I should get a new rear tracker arm, control arm and wheel hub assembly.

 

wow i really figured more would be bent but on the up side i stil haave the parts to fix it

 

you and I should meet up sometime man I literally wouldve had your car if you hadnt decided to keep it lol ive got an 89 GTU (black of course) and it too is gonna be an NA beast, ive got a large SP but no exhaust to compliment it and an automatic transmission that makes me wanna quit life everytime i drive it, im gonna swap a 5 speed in there one of these days tho with the help of another forum member

 

word. You should show up to the Evergreen or Bremerton for their drifting events this upcoming season.

I have made alot of progress on my car. I dropped the whole subframe out (including the A arms, hub and lateral link) and replaced it with a reinforced subframe I got off a forum member (ZeroDrift)

The thread for where the A-arm connects to my coilovers was different then the bolt that went into my original A arm (M12 1.50 instead of 1.25) so I went out and bought some bolts. The swap was easy, but time consuming and some parts pissed me off. I broke two socket extensions trying to loosen the bolts that connect the subframe to the diff. I drove the car afterwords and it feels like everything is back to normal. I do hear a clicking sound whenever I go over bumps so il recheck everything and tighten everything down.

I also found a tii in a local pull apart scrap yard and took the hood home for $25. Its arctic silver and looks good on my black GTU (Aluminum hoods are so much lighter then steel ) It was missing the scoop trim but SAMIboarder gave me a cracked one for free that I fixed up.

I no longer have insurance so I have to take care of that before I get it back on the road but driving it definitely got me motivated. Il take pics next time I go home.

 

yo,

I learned my less 2 years ago. I went to the local canyon road trying to keep up with my friend who was a experienced driver in his E30. On a tight turn entering at 80 downshifted 4,3,2 then all my wheels locked up and went straight into a guard rail. Itwas all quarterpanel and door damage. That time I wasnt smooth at revmatching , I would just literally downshift and brake. After that I learned to run pase with myself, and let speed naturaluy build. The other times I spun out too, but only ripped off my rear bmagic ait aero same problem, went from 3 to second but not smoothly and it shift locked on some loose gravel & lost control into a dirt mound all in the same canyon lol. Then after you learnn how to do body work . Luckily none of my suspension was damaged, nor wheels. Oh yeah it was all on the damn stock telephone 4 lug wheels lol but after that those wheels taught me not to be so rough driving,especialy driving in the rain with those lil wheels and t2, and when I finaly got wider wheels[sportwax], my car felt like it turned into a handling dream..since then touge grip got boring , and my friends taught me how to drift , and its been almost 1 year and half of drift, and its hella addicting , way more fun than grip.

 

yeah I hated taking my diff out too, I broke my husky ratchet lol, now it always skips gears . the two bolts hidden deep in there is apain..

 

what size are your tiers/wheels? (17's or 18's, what width and what tire size are you running? are you stretching tire or no?)

 

I plan on doing the following before next year:

Completely fixing my car
DTSS eliminator Bushings
Strut bars
Prosport temp gauge
headers

Next years plans:

Wheels
Aero
Seat time

 

Dude what happened to the TII swap bro?

 

I crashed my car and it forced me to prioritize. I need to get better before I get the added power. I dont think im a good enough driver to harness the extra power yet. I will get the swap once I feel like my driving ability surpassed the capabilities of my car.

 

I dont know if you mention it yet, but what muffler is that? cost? inlet and outlet size? how does it sounds?

thank you

 

Just popping in to check this out.

Your dtss snap oversteer story is forcing me to definately nip those in the butt before i put my car out on the road....

The horror.

My quarter and door were already hosed like that when i got my car....not quite that bad but body work sucks.

FTR, a chassis swap would be harder than pulling that **** out. Seriously. I thought about it and swiftly declined after i saw how many grueling man hours i'd have to put in. If i had a shop and more friends willing to help, i would have done it but i like my sunroof and the damage was easily fixable with a parts car.

My advice to you, if you cant fix that quarter with pulling and glass, cut one out of a parts car, hack yours out and bust out the mig/tig.

 

haha i have cut springs until i get coilovers, im glad im not the only one lol

 

heres a vid of my exhaust. I got it from a friend and dont know anything about it. I like how its sounds. (Dont mind the music text or smoke haha)

DTSS eliminators FTW (stock tiers and wheels dont help keeping traction either, cant wait for my 17X9s)

coilovers ftw.

I will probably cover up the damage with overfenders down the road and bash out the rest the best I can.

 

Yea, that sounds nice, that the tone I'm shooting for

 

Got TCS strutbars for Christmas:


[/QUOTE]

Went to court and couldn't get the ticket deferred. The judge said he doesn't differ anything over minor traffic violations especially when it involves an accident. I'm broke, don't have a job and still need insurance and renewed tabs. Damn I miss driving my car.

 

That's rough dude, exhaust sounds mean. What size is it?

 

I think the exhaust is 3in. finally got my car back on the road. Late night drifting ftw

taking summer classes and looking for a job. I need wheels and aero. Hows the turbo FC doing?

My new frankenstein silvia aero. The fitment is horrible, but it was free and will work until I get some real aero.

You want more pics? Does the pic I posted above not work?
