Offroad curbage - need help and a hug
#1
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.

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 Undecided 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 Big Grin)

Let me know if there is anything I can do.

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?

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.

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.
