Sucks, seen this car since I was a baby, was bought by my family new a few months after I was born...

Just glad nobody was hurt but a signal pole and my pride n joy.

why did you do that?

cmanns

Was taking a slight left curve in a 45mph road, I guess that area was very slick due to the rains, right after the corner it just went out of control 360'ing 5-8 times, then splat.

I was going 40 btw, 2 other accidents right near mine after.

sucks man.

so what are you going to do? buy another fc for cheap, and then re-use whatever you can from the wrecked one?

g'damn chrismanns....that looks like it hurt

cmanns

I had to sell the car to a wrecking place, no place to take the beat up fc without paying hundreds, the towing costs were already half a grand nailing me to 2grand to live on.

So no, no fc's are in the plans for my future.

wow that sucks man you lost it soo easily.

cmanns

Sucks I didnt get a underhood pic.

The coolent **** at the top was snapped off, the strut bar was snapped in half, the air box, afm, rad, were all cracked to pieces, the battery was jammed into the a/c & p/s pulleys and squished to ****, the hood broke off 1 of its hinges, a lot of the engine was done for.

glad you are okay but

What a crying shame!


You spun 8 times and did all that doing 40??? Sorry but how and the hell do you spin 8 times around a slight left curve doing 40mph??????

Poor, poor rx7.

you better get another 7! hopefully a turbo this time!

cmanns

No idea how many times it spun, me and my friends were up all night pretty much at first it was fast - slow - fast then boom, so maybe it was spinning in a oliptical form and when it hit the left side of the road where there'd be more oil then the middle it spun quicker and hit the pole?

yeah it buffed out, lol.

Glad you're ok.

That is definately the opposite of good.

Sorry to hear that.

found those in under 2 minutes, may not be ur thing, but cheap rides to get back in the game

cmanns

Never really liked virts, considering I always have more then 1 friend with me and the FC rear seats are tiny, I'm looking for a 4DR sedan.

I'll probably get a bmw, maybe throw a 13b-re in it a few yrs from now

learn to counter, and control your car

go to a drift day or something

way too many threads of FCs and FDs getting wrecked from " daily commuting "

cmanns

I do know how to counter, sorry I'm not 1337 ricer a-like you, the road suddenly felt like ice or it had a/t fluid on it (I used a/t fluid to build comp, some spilled and hose spread it, my driveway was slippery as hell for weeks)

two other accidents right after mine same area too.

hmmmmmmmmmm I don't buy that that happened from going 40 mph and spinning 5-8 times. Unless it was ice in California in May, you were sliding down hill, and you for some reason were hitting the gas during the whole event, I don't see how you could hit the poll going any faster than 20-25. That damage seems a lot faster than that. I have an turbo FC with same side damage and he was drifting in the winter and hit a bridge support beam going 55. (I saw the utube video before I bought it) lol. Was a cheap turbo motor for me. I am glad your ok, but I think this one is definitely your fault. If there seriously was oil or something on the road I think you would be able to sue someone, and it would have been documented in the police report.

cmanns

Well the chps said they believed that it was caused by the rain the accident report 1 said... I'm unsure how fast exactly, maybe it only spun 3 times remember it spun and splat into the pole sideways, may have been more force?

regardless nobody was injured at all, I was in a car that was hit going 40 by another car going 40ish into its side, the car was wrecked much more and all the glass shattered, people were hurt, I was hurt bad too.

I didnt even really feel it hit the pole :|

damn that sucks man, i feel your pain, i just lost my car a month ago, it was my first car, had it for 4 years. glad noone was hurt. so are you getting anything from insurance?

cmanns

no, thats the downside of liability insurance

I dont buy it either....you were messing around and wrecked. There is no way that happened from rain in california!!! Or oil for that matter....it would have had to be a **** ton of oil for it to do that, like the whole road covered!!! I dont get why some of the people on here posts pics of the fcs they wreck and come up with some bs story. Some people on here know how to drive and can tell that it happened from 1. inexperience and 2. stupidity.

cmanns

Some bs story? Go f'yourself bro.

I don't care why it happened, I'm glad my buddies and the people in the area were fine, I sped up joking much before the corner, slowed down and as far as I can recall I eyeballed the spedo and it was around 40, right after the corner is the signal pole.

I only posted the images for peoples viewing, I don't have a need to make up some story, maybe I did **** up, either way the cars totaled, nobody was injured, and thats all that matters.

Also mr.dickwad, it's a ******* automatic rx7, I only dicked around that would make me loose control in areas where if a cop saw they wouldn't even care, this was a two laneroad thats just no reason to drive stupid since its all straight, wasnt like I was trying to drift with my slow *** automatic fc.

Regardless of if it was my fault or a freak event, my nice rx7 is gone, who the **** are you to be a dick wad?
