14/06/12 02:55 AM14/06/12 02:55 AM #7265 Here's a recap just for Freeze.Hey guys thanks for the condolences, concerns and nice words. As most of you probably no by now I did have a major accident yesterday evening only a few hrs after picking the car up.The good thing is no body else was involved in the accident besides myself and under the circumstances things could have been so much worse. As it is the police let me take the car, they didnt inspect the car, I didnt return any positive readings and am not in trouble.The worst thing is my dad witnessed the whole incident first hand and as you can imagine it put him through alot of stress.Im not gonna post pics up cos people driving past already posted some on various facebook pages which in my view isnt right.I will say its the scariest thing ive gone through and I did everything in my power to avoid it. The way I saw it after taking off hard and shifting straight into second and third the back wheels broke out I released the accelerator but it kept accelerating frying the tyres the whole way. I hit the brake and it felt like it did nothing at al but pick up speed l I kicked the accelerator by habit from the old cable days and mashed both feet on the brake pedal and pulled the hand brake breaking the cable.I was gonna run up the back of a car so went onto the wrong side of the rd heading for a roundabout which is usually packed. I lined up a stobie poll and massive gate cos after that was grass n then houses and hit both the pole n gate coming to a stop. Again under the circumstances I dont think it could have turned out any better. It was a huge huge impact and I was freaking flying at the end. I really dont know what happened. So many onlookers say it was revving off its head it was wide open till the very end with front wheels completely locked and rear wheels frying and the thing sounding like a jet.The rear wheel marks are over 200m and the front wheel marks are about 100m long. The front wheels have have huge flat spots the rears have none.The car is written off for certain suprisingly it looks like we will save the engine all the hotside is un touched the trans is ok the rear end is ok the fuel system in the boot is fine and even the intercooler was un touched. Front left suspension and chassis rail are ripped off none of the doors open, most panels are stuffed, bonnet went through the windscreen, airbags went off plenum got squashed throttle body ended up meters from the car. But I climbed out the window which is a testiment to the saftey these cars have.Whatever happened its happened and we move on I will be back bigger and better but I will never in my life spend money on modifying a street car again. Ill invest in a pure race car with cage, harness and parachute ill put the running gear in it and go racing the right way.I worry for my lil bro who is on the same power chasing path as me.Thanks again for your kind words I do feel like ive let so many people down and my pride is hurt way way more than anything else.Thanks Guys Jacob.

No Idea broJust a quick update Cars is gutted, driveline is out and back at the mechanics, fuel system is all out and its so suprising how good everything is. The pain of not running it in a BA is too much to bare so plans have changed again .
