i havent taken any yet..

but the passenger side of the car sits higher in the front.. and the axle is bent, and hitting the frame. and the a arm is pretty much a pretzel.

pass door doesnt line up right either. or close smoothly.

Awww man, that's too bad. How'd it happen?
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

Emotions aside, why is this in the "Smoke Tales" thread? Were you racing someone when it happened? At least get some pix up man!
