Jersey Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 Saturday night, 1am, dew just setting on the highway, 1 mile from home, taking it easy @ 50mph, with the tires i used the night before at the track still on the rear because i was too lazy to take them off Saturday afternoon. Slight right turn, ass broke a little left, corrected it then she spun just about all the way around in the opposite direction, started to get it back but the median was too close and caught the front. The Z was just dancing around as if on ice skates. Cop shows up about 30 seconds later and tells me that they're patrolling around this area because it's getting real slippery up on the top of the mountain. Yeah, i noticed. Looks i'll be needing a hood (now i'll get a 76-78 vented), left fiberglass headlight bucket and a bumper. Everything else is fine. The grill is shot also but i wanted to make something different anyway. Not too bad all in all but it just SUCKS. The IC is fine Sleeper, THANKS to the bumper. That's the first thing i thought of..."oh man. i hope i didn't crush the IC!?" Belive it or not, the fender is fine due to the fact the bucket was fiberglass. If it were metal, i think the fender would have definitely buckled. DAMN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Man, that sucks. Well, at least you can park the car for the winter and get some stuff done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Sounds like a great excuse to get a fiberglass hood Sorry for the bad luck... Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aaron Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 That is some of the coolest custom front end work I have ever seen . Looks just like you ran in to something Sorry for the mishap. At least you are OK, and everything else will work itself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yo, that's exactly what i'm going to do. Although.... there is one more chance for a track run this year mid November. If i can get a hood, a headlight bucket and some slicks.....hmmm. I would if i could afford one Tim. Wife tightening the belt on me! Sparky, that would be great. I'll shoot you and email. Appreciate it. Nic - thanks and you're right. If i had been messing aroound, the ass would have swept around and made contact with the median as well. When it swung back around and i was facing the wall, i threw it in reverse because i knew i was going to clip it with the nose. I had the wheel's spinning backwards as the front hit the median but i don't think that helped much because those rear tires i had on really suck in the wet. Actually, they really sucked the night before at the track so i guess they just suck all around! haha. Aaron - you like it, eh? Custom, one of a kind Appreciate all the sympathy and kind words. Ah, what can ya do i guess. Just rebuild, right? Haven't had an accident since i got my drivers licence 18 years ago, guess i was just do. Hope it takes another 18 to have another! Actually, i'm hoping for NEVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
