So this was the second and last event i got to do with this car, right after i finished it and then 2 months later back home from tour i got in my accident...



and this is what it looks like on July 13th



and Hampton gave me a new chassis we started on couple years ago but left it sitting around, its already caged and stitch welded!!! :-D





and my brother Chip and I put the RB in, but now were waiting on my D-max stuff to come in so we can send the car to paint!

It feels good to get things rollin again after what ive been through this summer

anyways, Merry Christmas everyone!!

PS: im on OC's for pain and they kinda make me all happy in the head hahahahahahahahaha

Man, I seen cars hit by a train look better...

S14Cuhh

man, thats intense. details pls im curious

ridesnowx4

alright... lol.. i guess i'll explain

i came home from a Tour i was on this summer in the East Coast for Infinity and decided to take out the 14 and go fill it up. My buddy kept on bugging me for a ride in it since he bought my first s14 and also put an RB in it but didnt quite finalize it.

so im leaving my aprtment complex in Gilbert Arizona and go down the side street and make a right, i start ripping through first and shift to second then the car was driving straight but with the rear end walking a little bit do to the Cusco diff id just put in a month before. then it starts sprinkling and a car pulls out of a parking lot and onto the road i was on.

i see the car, realize i was doing about 65mph in top of 2nd and started making quick decisions as i only had about 20 feet to react. i hit the brakes and swerve around the car and the rear end starts to slip, i correct it and try to slow the car down but the angle and speed i was at caused me to head towards the curb, and of course it happened to be on a section of curb that goes down and level with the street to drive enter a complex.

at that moment my passenger side is about to slide up the driveway and i saw the pole and knew that if i hit the passenger side my friend would be done for since he isn't very strong and only weighs about 135 lbs, so i steer the car as quickly as i can so the car would hit the light pole on my side!

we hit it at about 50mph, and i broke my femur, my pelvis in 9 places, my hip is now plastic, and my bladder was sliced in half from the left pelvis plate getting pushed 90 degrees and forward.

on top of all this the pole obviously broke my A to B pillar and put me in and out of a coma for about a week

hospital for 1month, wheel chair for 4, tubes everywhwere for 4 months, and i now have titanium replacing the bone marrow in my left femur, a Ti rod across my lower back, and a total of 18 screws in my pelvis and knee

glad to say i did my job in saving my friend and whoever i could have T-boned!

im walkin fine minus the pain from wet and cold weather and should have my new car done pretty soon once i finish the not so Painless wiring and get the car painted once my D-max order comes in!


hope to see some of you at a FD license qualifier in spring :-P

You really should stfu.

Had Marc not been professionally trained by the likes of Ryan Hampton and others, coupled with lightning fast reflexes, his passenger would be past tense. The result of his selfless act cost him months in the hospital, countless surgeries and chronic pain that he will endure for the rest of his life.

Next time you have something fuking retarded to say, say it to yourself.

yeah so this accident was caused by him speeding.

im just saying dont deify the guy as a driving god when he was the one who crashed the car in the first place.

ive driven 65 before, but if i had totaled my car and almost killed myself and at least two others i'd expect to get chewed out about it. Its a stupid thing to do.

way to be a c0ckbag about the situation. its unfortunate that it had to happen yet he's sharing it with all of us. instead of wishing a speedy recovery and all the best on his future plans with driving, you're gonna sit there on your f'n high horse chew him up about the unfortunate event... good job. pat yourself on the back you downer d1ck.

Thank you to all who have chimed in with pleasant regards!

as for Murda-c, what in gods great earth are you smoking man? So you mean to tell me BECAUSE i was driving fast for the few times that i actually drive my car fast on an empty open street, that there will always be a car pulling out in front of me wth half a second to make a LIFE saving decision? seriously man, you'd better be a fucking perfect, law biding, never wrong doer individual in order to put me in the wrong here. Don't act like you've never once in your life drove over a posted speed limit because i guarrantee not a soul on this forum will believe you!

anyways even deciding to drive fast on an empty, non-traffic filled street you should all still not put your foot down more than 1/4 throttle with 310whp an 4.363 final drive, cuz the car did accel very quick which is why when i got to top of 2nd i let off at coincidentally the same time the car pulled out from the parking lot onto the "non highway" industrial street

but ok enough about it all, kinda sux there always has to be someone to shit on a thread lol

Cheers
