yeah yesterday on a mtn road i hit a guard rail...suspension and everything mechanical is ok, jut that the fender, door, rear fender, rear bumper, little of the front bumper is damaged.... word of advice, if you are saving money for a turbo build, dont go out driving.
turbo project on hold

baby: im getting a new manifold (f**k the hf), dp, gauges, resistor box, lines, tees, fittings, charge pipes....
007: i was going into a turn that was 180 degrees, slight glare. (note: ive done this road about 15 times this school year) i saw sand on the shoulder, but when i came to the apex there was sand basicly covering 2/3-3/4 of my lane...i was going about 25 mph, slid...hit guardrail.
i can put up pics of the car and the road if you want.

the spare had to be put on cuz the lip under the rear fender rolled out and down so it rubbed the tire....the front did the same but easily bent up and out by hand. the first pic of the map shows the faster section of the road. this is the other part of the roadit has 25-40mph turns. (second pic)

im gonna get the shorty from lovefab and a matching dp. ill have to mail him my turbo cuz i want the compressor to face the drivers side of the car, thus making the dp connect on the pasenger side. the turbo will be a small t25. i dont need anything bigger, plus i dont really care to drag race it so i dont need 250hp, just a boost around town and weekend warrior.... i will drag race it tho a few times during the first months i have it.baby99si said:

Lovefab! 
I'm going to get an SST eventually, but he said he's so backed up that it will take 6 weeks. So for now I'll be running my Turbo Speed cast.

Yeah unfortunately their website sucks.SeanMc300 said:the link to the parts dont work for me...that would save me SO much.. can you link me to those pages? thanks a bunch man
Call them at 1-800-373-6990.
Also look for a location that is close to you and see if they will ship. The one out here in Washington is pickup only. Really weird shop... its just a counter and you tell em what you want, a dude goes in the back and brings out the part.
Verdict is in. my parents decided that we are paying out of pocket. I, unfortunately, have to pay 2/3's of it. so goodbye turbo project, its gonna have to wait till NEXT summer....f**king hell am i pissed off. im gonna be pissed off until the turbo is in, so i wont be calm till next summer....f**k. My father called the insurance company, they said "in sept, we are 'selling' out auto insurance to another company. In sept, they will re-evaluate you, which will end up as you being dropped, or sean having to be on his own policy. Either way, youll be paying alot of money. I suggest paying out of pocket, in the long run, youll save money." So, im going to call the certifit place and ask how much for all the parts i need (body shop wants 1140 for all the body parts), see if they ship, see the total. THEN, i will call the body shop up, ask if they can go through this company, and if so, do it.
im so f**king pissed off, i dont have 2200 f**king dollars to f**king spend on god damn body parts. f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k f**k. f**king hell...f**k cars, f**k turbo, f**k honda...f**k it all. i f**king hate cars....
