That made me wanna throw up last night man , Good luck with the rebuild , hopefully its just mostly cosmetic stuff . Did you completely flatten your quarter panel ?? Ill see if I can get some messurements from the frame spec cd roms at work so you can take a tape messure and see what if anything is out of square with your engine bay / rad support etc . . . looked like your front might be pushed up and over from the way you hit the wall . Let me know if you have any questions about how to go about the repairs

Sorry about your ride man, that was an awful way to end the night

Jason said he saw a little smoke start to come off one of your rear tires shortly before your car veered off. Had he not let off on the gas when he saw the smoke, he probably would have hit you . Kudos to Jason on the heads up driving.

I am really sorry to hear about the crash. I have been watching the progress of the buildup and waiting for 11's on the juice. It will come.

Gald you are okay though. You keep the board interesting.

Glad to hear everyone's ok. That could have been any one of us out there in Sid's shoes.

I hope your repairs are quick and relatively painless man.

hi guys .. just woke up

thanx for all the kind words .. they mean a lot to me

im gonna accept any help and any parts that are being offered

ellis, thanx a LOT for the steering wheel .. i greatly appriciate it ..

im gonna go over there today and assess the rest of the damages and take some pics... i will investigate the rear end issue further ... the new gears never whinned and the pattern on them was near perfect .. so im not sure the worksmanship would've caused the rear end to lock up .. but i'll look into that

as of now i have a few suspicions (sp?)

1- rear end locked up, then driver slick went flat
2- driver side slick went flat, i hit the wall, passenger wheel got warped and is ceased against the brake caliper (there is about 5mm clearance between them being 15" wheels)
3- i just shifted too hard, got out of the groove lost it, and the rest is just the aftermath of the crash ...

i'll go pull the right wheel off and see if the rear end is ok ..

either way .. i'll post more details and pics later ..

thanx again guys .. i really appritiate all the help and kind words ...

steve and ellis, i'll catch ya online and talk about the parts..

4-You have the same rear sway bar on that I had when I got in the accident going up the cut into North van. That ****in thing is cursed! I'm gonna come and take it off your car and cut it into tiny little pieces and scatter all the pieces all over the world

Something else to consider is if the tire moved on the wheel. Of course i would assume that would most likely happen at take off. I have tubes on mine but I think I'll get them screwed as well.

This is what I am thinking. With low pressure it's easier to spin the tire, and if you rip off or damage your air valve...

Then there is the tire bead - those of us who 4X4 know all about losing beads with lowered tire pressure.
