While I was gone

Post by maggsy »

Ok so im chicking in again afater another 5 months away from the forums.

can't really think of anything else to say so i'll just jump straight to it instead...

I was driving home from work at redland bay and it was pouring with rain.

Just came off a roundabout and aquaplaned into the back of a Subaru Forester.

Their car - no damage
My car - $5000

Maybe this won't apply to you buuuut...

Speeding in the dry - Mildly silly.
Speeding in the rain (on a bend; in an FTO) - Mentally retarded.

Just sayin'

nope T_T

it's half fixed now though, everything just needs a respray.

I ended up getting a full vs kit added to the fix list instead of getting a standard bar put on.

Sorry to hear mate. How has the engine been treating you since the rebuild? did you get the emange installed?

breakdown of damaged parts

front bar

bonnet

radiator support panel
air con lines
air deflector
bonnet lock and cable
RH and LH headlights
