ok so i fixed my shifter bushings today. much more stiffer etc. still have a lil probs here and there but that should be worked out when i get the correct master cylinder for the clutch.

janfar · Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 7:52 am Post subject:

What shifter bushing kit did you use??? Is it for the eyes in the engine bay as well.

*KRONIK*, nice deep sound. Not too loud. It also made a great difference in performance. Now all I need is an external wastegate and I turned my boost all the way down and still get 15psi. Shocked

janfar,actually just took out one of the bushing, went by courtesy parts on boundry rd san juan and got it there, they changed it for me one time. nothing major tho, just 4 of them needed to be changed.

i still need the clutch MC tho. but shifting is much much better now.

sad to say guys.... but my EVO II is no more Crying or Very sad

wise thought for the day... when an @ss pulls in front you & mash brakes suddenly for no apparent reason, don't pull away. cuz if you do the outcome may most likely be worst than if you hit them... & they'll just drive off with nothing wrong with them while ur in a ditch gettin robbed by d land cobeau...

daz madness........

sorry to hear about this.... Sad

last night comin down d beetham abt 11... some clown hole in a silver nze corolla driving at 50kmph on d fast lane a lil distance ahead so i pulled onto the middle lane, when he was abt 1 car length ahead of me he then pulled onto the middle lane & mashed brakes at which point i slammed on my brakes geared down & pulled to the left going on the slow lane. but i pulled a little too hard & ended up scating on some gravel or dirt on the shoulder at which point all i could have done was say #WTF

...

i then realized that i was no longer on the road but sliping down to the drain just after where the metal shop is... left side slammed into the drain which then in turn caused the car to flip with the momentum several times... landed back on the wheels...

dazed & bewildered i didnt know wtf happened all to realize that there was approx 15-20 ppl around my car (man woman & child) felt someone holding onto my shirt (bursting its buttons) then took my chain. while there were some who tried to help me get out the car & were calling for police & other emergency services there were others who helped themselves to whatever they found.

they finally got the door open at which point i ran across the highway took off whatever remaining jewelery i had on my & dropped it down my pants as they were after me to get at them & my wallet. i stayed there till the police arrived (which was only abt 5mins after the accident but that 5mins felt like hrs to me) at which point they escorted me back to their vehicle.

i stayed in the jeep with a wpc while 3 other officers went to the vehicle to clear the vultures. other emergency services arrived shortly after. the wpc was able to contact some friends of mine who were able to bring my dad along with several other friends with a wrecker to take the car out & bring it home.

officers said that if it wasnt for the seat-belt & the recaros i more than likely would have died (seat-belts save lives & bucket seats keep ur @ss firmly planted) & looking at the car i'm really lucky i walked away without any damage not even a bump on the head.

i am surely feeling depressed with this... 7yrs of driving all different vehicles i never expected something like this to happen... this is the 1st & hopefully the last time i get into an accident like this Crying or Very sad

i am truly thankful that it was only me in the vehicle & no1 else got hurt & most of all that i am alive & still in good health

Nik, ^^^^^^^

i still in shock hoss........

glad to know ur ok tho......

Nik sad to hear that dude and after it all i still thank god you ok, but sometimes i really wonder what if

What if you didnt decided to pull and hit the driver of the other car
What if your reaction wasnt as fast as it was to ie gear down and get the car under some control
What if the left lane wasnt clear, darn scary stuff

Many questions indeed but glad to know you ok, i guess is just about fixing now and yes you can fix her dont just part out try it

An them muddakant bandits Shocked

Nik · Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 11:48 am Post subject:

no cant fix... makes no sence bringing it back will cost too much & will not be as strong as i suspect the chassis to be damaged as well... fenders front & back bumpers intercooler spoiler bonnet roof 2 doors, front & back glass... it really makes no sence

Oh i forgot it flipped Sad

Sorry to hear that man... it still would have been crappy if you had hit the corolla though... stupid "wrong if you hit from the back" crap... most important thing is you're alive...

All you probably could do now is sell off some of the parts and make something back on the situation...

Interior, Seats, steering, instrument panel, gearbox shifter, brakes, engine (if it's in ok condition)...

faster you get it out of your sight faster it'll help in your recuperation...

Death-Row · Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 12:45 pm Post subject:

really sorry to hear what happend. if you think you'll want a evo again like that in a later time, keep the number, scrap and sell the parts.

all in all, ur here to post the story. glad ur ok

Nik · Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 1:52 pm Post subject:

thanks for your support & understanding guys...

Death-Row, more than likely i would want to get back an early evo... might try for a III this time lol... but i taking my time & make sure i get everything sorted out for this matter...

will keep u guys updated on whats what & when i do decide to scrap & sell off (might not be till next month)
