I was coming out of work pretty pissed after yelling at my boss and throwing my name tag at him and quitting!.

coming home prolly doing like 40-45
and 90* curve was comin up.
i didnt care so i tried to take it but i couldnt and ended up hitting a curb






front rim lip is busted
the toe is drastically off too. havnt checked anything else.

the rear pass axle shaft broke at the hub. and my y pipe got completely crushed

but other than that... no body damage at all..
engine started right up too


wut do you guys think needs to be replaced?!?

the brake caliper adapter plate is bent too.

 

Well the very fist thing ide do is get a copy of the factory manuals body measurment and check to make sure the frame is still strait. These unit body cars dont take hits well and when they do the impact travels through the whole car. So befor you spend big money fixing it make sure its worth fixing thats all. For the axle i wouldnt even bother trying to fix it as you can get a nice used replacement probablt for less that it would cost to repair that one. Maybe even a stronger BW 9 bolt unit. Next if the tow is off something probably got bent so definitely thoroughly inspect the front suspension.

 

DO you think i can find those measurements in a Haynes Manual? or somewhere else

 

No information like that would be exclusively in a factory manual or some body shops that have spec sheets for particular cars which are really just copies of the factory manuals diagram. You might be able to find some one willing to scan you a copy out of their book as many of us have factory manuals and all 82-92 camaro/firebirds chassis were the same so it makes no difference which year manual they came from. If no one will though check your local libraries they even might have copies of old camaro factory manuals. I know the last one i was in had a factory manual for an 91,88, and 83 if im not mistaken. Online you might be able to find this info if you search and if you know someone that has access to alldata it might be on there. Worst case scnario i think i remember someone on ebay selling the spec sheets on ebay although at that rate you might as well buy the factory manual as you can find decent used ones on ebay for around $20 and they are 2-3 inches thick with information specifically on your particular year car. Its a very usefull very detailed manual with everything you could ever possably hope to want to know about your car and about the same price as a cheap haynes manual at your local autoparts store.

 

Ill see. but as of now. it doesnt seem like theres any chassis damage. amazingly no body damage either. car was still ruunning while i was checking the damage

 

remind me not to drive after quitting.. lol

Nah jk, it doesnt look like too much work.

 

i think you need the following..
1.axle passengers side
2. brake adapter plate thing.
3.brake caliper
4.rotor
5.need custom y pipes
6.new lug nuts
7.rim

 

How about a new car?

The axle shaft sheered off.. Impressive. I wonder if the tube bent. Hows the control arms look?

Backing plate. Yep that too. Caliper. Rotor. Oh yeah.

What about the front? Toe is off huh? Bet it's messed up there.


I'd part the car out and get another one that didn't crash.

Ouch bro. Shitty. Going to cost a bit to get that fixed. The Jy is your best bet for the parts you need.

 

yea man its gonna cost quite a bit
but either its about 300$ in parts
or about 2000$ on a decent car like a old corrolla.
plus i got a system in this bad boy!

 

You forgot the last one:

8. A new job.

 

$2000 or $300 and a bit of work

hmmmmmmm

I would go with the least expensive

 

I hope this at least happened out of view of your Ex-Boss! Good luck...

 

same happen to my brother ween he own my Trans am ,he decide to show off by make a u-turn only with the back wheels to much spin and hit the curb

photo be for digital camera ,it hard put the joke to English
(not allowed to spin the wheel "to much")

 

awww that just hit me =[
like on the bottom side of my heart =[
