Man, I just got out of school and was driving home to get ready to goto work. It was raining and I was only going 30 MPH in a 35 MPH zone... i accidently built boost through this curve.. built like 3 psi and my rear end kicked out and my car started sliding!! There was a car next to me, so stupidly, I slammed on the brakes even though I should've known better b/c i dont have ABS... but yeah, you can probally figure out what happened... my wheels locked up and I slid right into THE ONE AND ONLY TREE ON THAT WHOLE 1 MILE ROAD. Lol. Talk about dumb luck. I'm lucky it wrecked the passenger side and not the driver side... i woudl'nt been real screwed if it hit my side just from looking at the side of my car. Anyways.. I'm sore as hell, my back and my neck hurts... i screwed up my knee somehow so my knee hurts... I feel like shit... but yeah. I looked under the hood and was extremely surprised... It looks like the engine bay was never touched. I towed the car back to my house for now. I'm probally going to either strip the car down and sell all my parts.. engine and all then get a new car (kinda thinkin an 06 SI). Or i'm going to get another 240 and swap everything over. I dunno what I wanna do. But ya, I'm glad I did'nt hit anybody and that no one was in my car...The car next to me brakes enough so i slide in front of him across the road... I was trying to turn the wheel the other way so I'd slide into the hill but my wheels were locked so i just slid in his direction... But i missed him anyways... so I guess overall it was a good day. I'm surprised my parents did'nt freak... I guess because no one got hurt and I paid for everything on my car so it did'nt hurt them any. lol. The funniest part was that 2 tow truck guys came because the first one could'nt get my car on his truck cuz it was too low so he called a flat bed out for me. Before the 1st guy left, he pulled me aside and was like "Sorry, I could'nt help but taking a peek under the hood...nice 240sx, I bet it was a beast. I noticed it was really rigged up. I know it's not an SR20... looks like an Inline 6.. Is that a Skyline engine?" I said "yeah" and then he was like "Well, I hope you get another 240 and put that beast in something else and keep on blowing the doors off V8's with that thing" I just thought it was funny because it was some old white guy in his 40's. Anyways, here's some pics i took with my camera phone... sorry they're a little small, but you get the idea... I'll take some more tonight with my digital camera.. Anyother funny thing.. my suspension was'nt touched so I can still drive my car... i drove it up and down my street. lol.

damn panges I am sorry to hear that. At least your ok and yes from the looks of the pics if you had hit on the drivers side you would have been in a world of pain.

P.S. how much for the HKS SSQ with the flange for RB? Is the flange aluminum or steel? let me know thanks man. Feel better.

the flange is aluminum I believe. It fits right onto the stock flange on the RB. Where u located? I can do 120 shipped if you want it.

Man, that is crap....at least if you slide into the side of a car it doesn't indent your shit by two or three feet! I would have aimed for him to try and save from something exactly like that happening. Glad to hear you got out without major injuries. Too bad on the 240...I say swap everything, but whatever floats your boat. Good luck with your next project!

lol. Sorry to hear that man. That def. sucks. I do have to say, the new Si is a bad ass car. 200 horses in that lil thing from the factory. Honda did well. Whatever you get man, good luck, and again, i'm sorry, hope you are ok.

Thats sad to see, but good that your ok and will be able to make most (hopefully) of your money back by parting it out.

Speaking of which, how are your fender liners and floor mats?

That was only 30mph?


Somehow I don't believe it.


Anyhow, I don't really care how fast you were going. Thank god that you weren't hurt. Car accidents suck and they're even worse when you're crashing into something.

Pour one out for your lost chassis and be happy that very little else seems to be damaged. For a relatively small amount of money you could swap it all over to a new chassis.

Good luck!

Those weren't the cars he has totalled. Those were his kills i.e. cars he has beat in races with his car.

Did it bend the chassis? The first thing that came to mind, was why not just replace those parts, but nevermind.

ThatGuy
02-04-2006, 08:29 PM
Did you replace that section of the car with aluminum foil, previously? I only ask because I haven't seen damage like that from 30mph before. :rofl:

Glad to hear you are ok. Good luck.

i don't know why people are so surprised about the damage done at 30mph. frontal crash tests are done at 30mph and the damage looks about the same.

I don't know why you're on 56k and repeatedly pressing the submit button, but could you please relax?

I saw the car today, and pulled the coils. The damage shown in the pics do not do the actual car justice. His car got FUCKED UP. No joke. If I didn't borrow money from friends to buy the stuff I bought off him now, I would have bought pretty much most of his car. :w00t:

anyway, Pangs man, im sorry to see such a clean car hit the dust man... bought a tear to my eye. Glad you made it out with jsut a few bumps and bruises. I would feel lucky if I were you. Cars are replacable, their owners are not. Good luck with whatever project you move on to.

Oh yeah and what is the condition of the Zenki lip :P I can pick up, im in south city (SFSU/Daily city) almost every weekend.
