She's a fuckin' tank - Club3G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 3G Forums

Chad · 06/01/2012, 05:02 PM

I swear, she just won't die! Long story short, rain, bald tires, blind corner + Toyota Yaris driven by a jack-ass. Been in a loaner car for awhile now. I honest to god thought allstate was gonna say this car belongs in a dumpster, especially since the airbags finally deployed. Yet, she lives and stays. Like a bad case of crabs.

I love my car.

This is like my forth radiator and support.

Hello again core support frame

In the process of being rebuilt. New CF hood and the whole nine yards in on the way. Only thing I'm upset about the most is black housing clear lens depo turn signal no longer exists......

If anyone is selling them lemme know!

3G Runner · 06/01/2012, 05:06 PM

It would seem your car doesn't believe in death. That could be a good thing.

Chad · 06/01/2012, 05:12 PM

The CF hood took it like a fuckin' champ though. I was ubber surprised. I want to say it took at least 40% of tehe total impact and barley broke the CC on it.

grfft3r · 06/01/2012, 05:37 PM

Didn't know that happened to your car. Glad it'll be back up and running.

mitsu3g01 · 06/01/2012, 09:28 PM

Did the cf hood spider under the clear coat.

if that don't work, let me know and i can always de-chrome a set for you.

SpeedDemon350 · 06/02/2012, 06:42 PM

Does a new core support need to be welded on? Back when I hit a deer, they just banged that thing back in place, and called it a day. Still crappy fitment though.

Yes. I received estimates between $500-700 to have mine painted and installed, part not included.

Chad · 06/03/2012, 09:15 AM

Its over 6K in damage. They valued my car for $8,500. I was surprised.

Mattt · 06/03/2012, 09:35 AM

Did they include the aftermarket parts in the value?

So will this car be making the trip down to MTOD???

Hate to see your car like this man, but glad it will be back to normal soon

jstewart92 · 06/03/2012, 09:47 PM

JermTheElf · 06/03/2012, 09:57 PM

While you have all that bay access, might as well install the turbo and do the 5 speed swap!

Glad it's all gonna be alright

bwracing00 · 06/03/2012, 10:20 PM

i would pull the motor and everything and paint it all :-)

Bitter · 06/03/2012, 10:21 PM

See if they can fix your impending strut tower rust.

None yet

Eclipse-GT · 06/05/2012, 04:27 PM

I'd stop worrying about Depo corners and see if they can replace your bald ass tires my dude

But seriously, glad your ok and man haha your car really is a tank...what is this number 3 or 4 now?

Mattt · 06/05/2012, 04:35 PM

Pretty sure he was talking about the other persons tires.

Chad · 06/05/2012, 04:36 PM

I already have new tires. Hankook v12's

Eclipse-GT · 06/05/2012, 04:55 PM

Was you? Nice selection. I recently got the Hankook Ventus V4's.

Chad · 06/05/2012, 05:22 PM

I have worn inner edges on the tires due to my camber specs, but they have a little meat on them. You can see it in the pic. No ABS is what really sucks. I got new tires for the Dragon. That's if the car is done by then.

Bitter · 06/05/2012, 07:57 PM

Toe wears inner edges more than camber does.

Chad · 06/06/2012, 05:46 AM

Toe can wear both edges at the same time. And my Actual and Total Toe are spot on perfect. I keep Negative camber though. I've driven my Kumho tires for 60K miles. It's only camber wear.

Bitter · 06/06/2012, 07:12 AM

Got it, Camber/Caster/Toe are all related so when one is just barely in spec it can throw the others out and cause irregular tire wear at an accelerated rate. 60K isn't accelerated. I've seen .3 deg toe bald a 400 wear tire in 8k miles, starting with the inner edge.

Chad · 06/06/2012, 11:41 AM

Looks like it won't be making it to the dragon...

Guess Britt and Chad are destined for eachother. Both know how to keep their body shops, rental car agencies in business.

Chad · 06/09/2012, 07:03 AM

Bitter · 06/09/2012, 07:54 AM

Hood looks nice...just needs a real engine under it.

Chad · 06/09/2012, 09:25 AM

Working on a small 16G.... slowly. Very slowly. Then this happened.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Chad · 06/12/2012, 06:45 PM

Both fenders got resprayed. Waiting on Airbags and front bumper now. It'll be done by the time I'm back from MTOD.

Chad · 06/21/2012, 05:06 PM

She's back up and running like a fuckin' champ

Tx4Codeman · 06/21/2012, 05:10 PM

Not bad on the turn-around time.

gomer3G · 06/25/2012, 11:22 PM

chad, either you have no luck at all, or you have a shit ton of luck. i go with the later. you must be pulling it in from insurance companies with all of these accidents.

Chad · 06/26/2012, 05:40 AM

SpyderGirl02 · 06/27/2012, 06:00 PM

I'm gonna buy you some sort of safety bubble for this car... Every time I happen to look at the graveyard it's "fuck deer" or "fuck deer again" or "fuck a prius"...

Glad you're ok
