Writing off my second FC...
Well guys, guess this is it again for now. I was coming home from school and I was so tired I blacked out and opened my eyes with enough time to slam on my brakes and slam into the car ahead of me. I can't believe this happened again. At least last time I was doing something that I could have avoided. Ill try and be back with the community in an FC as soon as I can.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I enjoyed following your build. This exact same thing happened to me as well, thankfully the car of fate was a Nissan Pulsar. Stop fussing around with NAs as well, get a T2 for a change!

If I even start to lower my eyes, I'll find a place to stop on the side and take a short nap.
Before this, I almost plowed my Jeep into a bunch of stopped cars on the freeway because I was too naive to call it quits. Luckily there was an emergency lane.
Glad you're okay man. You'll be back in another car soon!

A lot is salvageable, but it bent the frame and rail all the way up to under the drivers seat, so it won't be seeing street duty anymore. I may just keel the shell for a drift build down the line. I'm picking up a GTUs of my buddy and swap everything over (since his currently has an S4 drivetrain) but unfortunately he also took out the 4.30 rear end for his other 7 and its missing one of the GTUs mesh wheels. So I'm going to have to source one.
