Bking · 08-13-2013, 05:29 PM

Sorry to hear.

I guess time for an upgrade?

shadoquad · 08-13-2013, 07:48 PM

I feel your pain. Totaled mine back in March. Best of luck.

Trips · 08-13-2013, 07:56 PM

Op,

Your General Discussion Duplicate Thread Was Merged to Here!

Im sorry to hear about what happened, But the important thing is you're Okay

I don't think you'll find a problem finding another one.

V8Killer · 08-18-2013, 02:30 AM

Yes it is. Sorry to hear about your loss man but happy you are well. I was looking forward to seeing your nitrous build take off since I can't continue with mine with me being overseas. I hope all is well and when your ready I know you could probably sell some parts for some extra cash b/c there will be guys reading this waiting for that moment. Let me know if your letting any of the nitrous parts go. Take care buddy.

IMWEZL · 08-18-2013, 05:53 PM

Man still sucks to see this. I was out in the field all last week. My wife had planned on co-driving this auto-x season but if we can't find a dedicated sitter for Sundays you are more than welcomed to co-Drive in C Stock.

Thanks for the offer. I really wanna take you up on that but it just wouldn't feel right driving someone elses car. For now, H stock in the Subaru will have to do

A lot of my parts are already gone. Really the only thing I have left is my Diff with the 4.08 gears and Quaife installed (but I think I have a buyer for) and the hotchkis sway bars. Due to the limited amount of time I had to removed everything (2 days) I was unable to get off the Momentum headers.....

Still unsure. The guys at the shop think that it was a pre-existing crack in the spindle arm. They said because of the dark outlines in parts of the arm meant that there was an existing fracture or possibly an imperfection from factory. If it was sudden then there would have been no dark outlines in the metal.

Sell it conditionally that they put "DE.50 intake manifold" in their sig, lol

Sorry for your loss, but please remember that we are all "family" on this forum and share in your pain. By all means, make sure that you hang around, because, one day, you will be reunited with another Z, and the misery you are feeling now will be a distant memory.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and "see you around, brother".

XiP · 08-13-2013, 06:42 AM

RIP
sorry chris

wheee! · 08-13-2013, 07:34 AM

Sad news brother.... hang in there and remember that it's just a car and hopefully no one was hurt. You'll be back in a Z again one day!

theDreamer · 08-13-2013, 07:40 AM

Sorry to see this, but a quick question. Is that how they towed the car, with the rear wheels on the ground?
