Crash

[matt-starlet]

Last night i crashed the poor little starlet. I was heading around a 90 degree corner last night in the rain, wasnt driving stupidly at all, hit one of the many pot holes that are in the area which jumped it into a ditchand sent me careering for the kerb. Now the car isnt driving straight so it is going to be off to the shop to get fixed and while it is there maybe a couple of other goodies. But for now it is going to be catching the bus for me which i cant say i am looking forward to haveing to do

[MarkMish]

are you ok though???

[matt-starlet]

shiitt.. that really sucks man... any idea how hard it will be to get fixed?

[chicaboo]

Goodluck with the fixes Matt. How's the FMIC?

sorry to hear that dude! hope it gets fixed soon...screw your number plate to the front of your car somewhere and drive without a front bar...u scare ppl with that mass front mount

[Blind Kid Seeks]

wow, what a shame... front left looks pushed back a bit :(

[DJKOR]

Ouch. Sorry to hear man. Hope you get it all resolved soon. I'd hate to catch public transport.

front left looks pushed back a bit

... just a bit.

[matt-starlet]

yeah it sucks to my eyes the axle has been bent and that will be pricey i think so fingers crossed not going to know for sure until i manage to put it in somewhere but it isnt really in a driving state right now

o and the fmic is ok am thinking to save up for a bit and get some other goodies while it is in there depending how long i can last on public transport possibly it is time for the turbo upgrade

I guess it depends... Exactly what do you think will need replacing?

[matt-starlet]

uhh possibly suspension and front axle

[Guest]

uhh possibly suspension and front axle

Those parts aren't *that* hard to replace.. (I know because I've done both sides on my celica...)

any normal mechanic should be able to do it no sweat...

[matt-starlet]

update is totally repairable 1300 max but most likely between 300 and 700 hopefully will be done within the next couple of weeks ended up dropping it at good year just up the road

[DJKOR]

Hopefully not too long cause I'm sure catching the bus ain't so fun.

[jaderd]

good to hear mate....sigh of relief i bet

[matt-starlet]

is now fixed total of $860 so will be going to collect it once finances are sorted for it
