So Friday night I was driving home going east on ortega hwy. an animal ran across the road as I was going through a turn so I lifted off the gas and the ass end started to slide and I couldn't correct it so my car went across the other lane, up over a curb and after a little more sliding stoped with the front hitting a fence poll.* :'(
Want to see?

aim for the animal, they are usually over populated anyway.

almost had to clean kitty fishsticks off the front of my car today.

bumper sticker:
"doesn't brake for crossing animals too
*most people in the world are animals"

Its crazy how a lot of silver evos have been getting front end damage. I guess I wasn't the only one. Its good to see that you are ok and hopefully your evo will be back to normal soon.

damn! sorry to see that, R.E.D. but at least you are okay, it could have been worse.

+1 for silver evo with front end damage. and rear end damage less than a month after the front. us silver evos are cursed or something...

Sorry to hear about your car ... Just remember it could of been worse ... You experienced lift-off oversteer .. A lot of new friend AWD drivers experienced this the hardway instead of not to lift off the throttle ...

Live and learn - Didnt kill you - so it'll only make you stronger ... Good luck! Going through Ins? Looks like you can just get a new front bumper from the boards or something ..

sorry to here about your car but at least your ok. Next time kill the damn animal and save the car burning guts on your exhaust is better than a body shop bill.

It looks like I found a shop that will help me out with replacing my lower IC pipe, IC, and front bumper with upgrades. Does anyone know where I can find a C-West front bumper that I get faster than 4 to 8 weeks? thanks

If I were you i would just wait for the real c west bumper. If you can't wait that long then I have an extra front bumper sitting in my garage which is somewhat damaged. You could use it as a temporary street/track bumper. Its silver too O0

Looks good! Next time kill the animal ... there are a lot of places on Ortega where going off would be the end of your existence.

yup, that thing barely fits. Did you keep the front reinforcement bar? I almost didn't put mine back on. But I also converted to the 9 front bumper.

you're Evo looks as good as new. O0

The shop put it all back together and yes the crash beam was left on. The IC fits but it sure looks like a tight fit. But they couldn't put the underbody plastic back on because the IC sits to low.





Nice to see you back in action. Welcome back.



Thanks man O0 It's great to be back in the EVO :mitsu:
