I hit a fence post on purpose once.. in my first car, well it was my sisters car (we had to share it) and she was annoying me, so i reveresed into the pole in her car :D Wouldnt call it a pole either.. more a cement slab, knocked it clean over too. Was quite proud of that..

On other note, least its not too bad, easy fix!

My missus recently reversed the 4WD out of the carport.............I tried to explain to her that its easier if you raise the door first with the little white button............AAMI were really good with the claim

ahh thats horse sh*t..maybe get scandyflick to do his thing to it to make it better...lol like what he did to my car at SMASA shown shine :thumbsup: lol

lol, unfortunately that can only make a car awesome by association :), cant fix front bars.

ahww.. sorry to hear about the accident. i know how it feels... i've done pretty much the same thing while ago.... it was heart breaking. got it all fixed now though. got the car back a couple of days before.

Good luck with fixing it up. make you feel much better when fixed up, but much poorer in your pocket if you go to a crach repairer.

HAHAhaahah thats gold pete!!

Sorry to hear cara... I am sure most of us have done something similar... I know I have.

yer but u could have done the decent thing and cleaned up the mess i now have stains on my rear bumber lol

thats diirrtttyyy :P

ive never hit anything since i got the car (other than the scraping underneath the front bar) ive had people hit me (twice) so i definetly feel a bit silly that its been over a year and a half and only now it happens lol

oh wells we took the front bar off last night, came off easier than what i thought it would which is good and put the stock one back one looks a little weird right now but gonna have to get used to it cause its gona stay like that for the next couple of months so we can work on the front bar and fix a heap of things on it (and strengthen a few spots on it)

gonna look a bit weird fully kitted car with stock front bar on lol

that'll make a matching pair :w00t:

those who have seen the ute lately wil know what i mean hahahaha

ah, the old fence post.................done the same before, and its annoying, but at least its fixable

Ah bugger, lucky it wasnt worse. could have scrapped the door and guard and would cost more to fix.

yeah we were a bit worried about that cause when we were putting the stock bar back on, the passengers side isnt fitting right, but we have just assumed that its because the front bar has flared out a little since being in storage and that there is nothing wrong with the front guard (there are no scratches anything like that on there)

but yes it would have defintly cost more if i had hit the front guard....even thought we are doing the fibreglassing repairs our selves, the cost of getting the front bar resprayed is about 300 alone. but i guess thats better than 600-700 that it could be if a panel beater did all the repairs.....

i just think at least we will try and fix all the little stress fractures in the front bar and make it look like new again :P

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
