Offroad curbage - need help and a hug - ZTWsquared - 08-27-2010
So thanks to a trucker who apparently didn't see my bright fricken red Focus - I ended up turning to avoid him and skidded across a gravel laden intersection and directly over a curb - straight ahead.
The pics speak for themselves, but one LCA is significantly bent, the other completey busted as is the oil pan, the SVT header and the wheel on the drivers side and the halfshaft was torn out of the tranny.
Both wheels were pushed back into the fenders ... and ... well f**k I am so pissed ... the SVTOA Mosport session is on Monday and Tuesday and I doubt I can get this fixed by then.

Ken,
If you need some stock front LCA's, would the 2007 year work on your car? I do have a set sitting in my shed as I'm using C-F-M ones on the Turbo Focus.

I have 1 stock svt rim...

Oh snap, at least you are ok. Sorry to hear this Ken. If you need a hand don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks Oscar - yes they would be the same (all the way up to 2010 in fact) - if I decide not to go with the aftermarket ones that you got, I just might take you up on them ... how much would you like - and I can figure out shipping costs.

ZTW,
Oh crap
That's a nice bit of damage there but at least you're okay right?That would suck to miss the on track totally too. Unless you wanna share my car? (and bore yourself to tears
)Let me know if there is anything I can do.

wow sorry to hear that Ken. Why not insurnace and cops? I'm afraid you might have some big issues with alignment later on.
RE: Offroad curbage - need help and a hug - castone - 08-27-2010
Sorry to hear/see Ken!
If you need a single tire just to get back on the road we have a couple of single Dunlop track tires at work, I think it would be around $40 installed.

Thanks guys ... MO - no witnesses stuck around and I didn't get a license plate from the truck and I haven't told the insurance co. about the supercharger - - so no cops and no insurance.
Gord - is the header and oil pan for sale?
RE: Offroad curbage - need help and a hug - Gabriel - 08-27-2010
Damn ! , that's alot of damage . I got to go to Toronto today , but sure as hell I am taking the van . Is there anybody else going to Mosport monday ? Ken , I really hope you'll get your car fixed on time .
RE: Offroad curbage - need help and a hug - SL8RZZX3 - 08-27-2010
Yes the header and oil pan are for sale, only thing not for sale is the Bosal flex as it is already sold

shitty to hear ken, make sure to go over EVERYTHING with a fine tooth comb tho, it may no look like it has any issues but make sure everything gets checked out. last thing you want is to get it all back together and find something more is bent. check your tie rods, hub assemblies and all on the front.
RE: Offroad curbage - need help and a hug - Oscar The Grouch - 08-28-2010
Ken,
I'm not sure how much the oem's are worth, but I'd like to get 75% of new value plus shipping. They only have 30k on them.
But if you're planning on making this thing track ready, I strongly suggest you go with the CFM ones as they are lighter, use heim joints, and are camber adjustable without screwing up strut bearings.
