crashed my iroc :(!
hey guys
i was messing around with a couple of friends and i guess i got a little too excited with my car and the roads were a little more wet than i thought.
was on a turn drifted the car. back end swung out farther than i thought it would hit a curb smashed the rim, drifted out to the other side of the road . went over that curb and hit a wall.
guess a welded diff + wet roads+ crazy teenagers + popped rear brake linees = disaster



Crash damage :
hood
cracked windshield
3 flat tires
1 broken rim
front bumper
driver side fender
rear axle shifted an eight of inch towards passenger side
smashed headlights

Re: crashed my iroc :(!
going to the junkyard tmr to see what i can find. i have an extra hood but the paint is faded away and its not the iroc hood. i have a front bumper but in bad condition. my friend has an extra fender that i am going to buy off him. rims are my biggest concern. i really like the stock rims but wouldnt mind looking into some new rims. any suggestions for rims that would look good on an iroc

Re: crashed my iroc :(!
Its worst than it looks, i'd say that the core support and front substucture is bent as well. If you do get it fixed you'll never be able to get it properly aligned, proly gone always pull to oneside. But, maybe i'm wrong and it's not as bad as it looks. Well keep us updated, and hope for the best.

Re: crashed my iroc :(!
if you hit so hard that you cracked the windshield your going to want to look over everything real close before buying any parts. If the frame is bent it may be a lost cause. maybe trailer it to an alignment shop to see how bad the damage really is before you get to far into the project.

Re: crashed my iroc :(!
I don't think paras99 is the first to have made a mistake. Our cars are sporty, they're fun to drive, and they're RWD. So don't be too hard on him. I've made a few mistakes myself, for that matter. At least he knows he did wrong.
He's come here for support, we should give hime some. My $.02 is, parts are cheap for these cars and he won't have much trouble getting what he needs. I agree too though, definitely get the frame alignment checked by a pro body shop.

Re: crashed my iroc :(!
OK im sorry then. It sounded like there were with u. I just have seen and read to many times about young people getting killed for **** like that. I was streetracing too few years ago and it was extreme sometimes, but I never had anybody else in my car or with me on the street that didnt knew about the risk.
I think the damage can be fixed so its not too bad.

Re: crashed my iroc :(!

i was planning on my buying SFC but im on tight on money so the plans for modifying my car have been set back which sucks

Re: crashed my iroc :(!
as long the frame is ok its not a very big deal. maybe try to get a camaro with broken engine and use the parts and store the rest for later. should be cheaper than to get the parts solo.
