I think some JB Weld may be needed as well.

But if we have to bring out the duct tape she's a write-off

Really sad?? That guy should be out buying lottery tickets and dancing on bar tops like Paris Hilton. Maybe take a driving course or two as well.

No brunt force frontal impact The right rear took the most punishment. It broke most of the suspension links and the wheel bearing carrier on that corner. The axle got shoved into the side of the transaxle so hard that it broke the transmission housing. The front lower control arm is also broken.

VincentVega 01-06-2012 06:50 AM

So what's left. Engine, case ok? Intercooler?

Sad

I am GUESSING because there was no direct FORWARD impact..arent the sensors for the steering wheel bag in the front bumper area?

speeder 01-06-2012 07:37 AM

What's the short version of the accident story?

Joeaksa 01-06-2012 08:43 AM

Sad to see...

Short of having it stall on railroad tracks, I can't imagine a scenario that has any kind of lawful activity involved unless it was at the track.

Anywhere you can roll a car would result in damage like that. Spin. Hit curb. Slide down embankment. Soft roll.

It may not even have required a high rate of speed. Lift throttle oversteer?

But I agree, it looks like track damage. Which would suck worse as it may not have been covered by insurance :(

rsrfan 01-06-2012 09:35 AM

The owner posts on rennlist and stated that the crash was caused by a highway avoidance move wherein the right rear clipped the wall and the rear tire dug in resulting in the roll. Damn shame as it was a very nice car and there are only so many Andial cars left...
