AudiOn19s Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 And you thought the shock towers weren't bent ... Tops of the towers are in place...the roll bar is a proper rear cage and triangulates on the towers and kept them in place. The rest of the car folded around them though. Ohlins actually came away with relatively little damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'll actually cut out and use that roll bar in the new car if I can. I tried telling people that it was toast, but you needed to see it to believe it. Here's the new hope: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1841178#post1841178 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourString Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 No way. That back half hit HARD. I am happy that you are okay man. Had that been the front, it would have hurt a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks Adam. I definitely lucked out with the rearward hit...if you call hitting the wall lucky. The crazy thing is that lot of the car was salvageable. I'm keeping the motor, trans, diff, ECU, suspension and brakes all for the new car. The rear subframe crumpled and took the majority of the load so it didn't even bend the suspension arms, toe links, or trailing arms or wheels for that matter. The PPF and driveshaft took the brunt of the other force leaving the trans and diff. I guess I won't know for sure until I can road test those parts but they were outwardly ok. Lots of parts off of the car have been getting sold off so hopefully the spirit of Janky will live on. BTW, here's what it looks like to watch an old friend get out out to pasture. http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z56/kutschca/silver%20FD%20exterior/A50021A4-9AB8-487C-A4F8-55A38EE12AD6_zpsuwuffhhz.jpg http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z56/kutschca/silver%20FD%20exterior/D5DD6976-753A-4707-A4BE-EE85F09BA0EB_zpsfslcvojy.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yeah that last part was rough to watch. They didn't mess around either by the time we turned the truck and trailer around it was completely gone from sight. Got a whole whopping $47 for the shell too! Haha. Cost that much for the salvage title and gas to take it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasser-Hanbali Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 sorry to see that it was wrecked chris! though im glad you were able to get another. it still surprises me for such a small car built in the early 90's how well they hold up in hard impacts.
