^^ damn that 350z got wrecked... mine was this passed weekend, first I install an ams ic and a new cf lip... all is good except when i go to roll home and puffff..... licp blows off although it was my fault i didnt re-tightened...


That was all sat, on sunday i decide let me re-paint my calipers cause they are faded... I paint passenger front-rear and driver rear... When i go to remove my R40 kics ti lug nuts on I see that last service Mitsu did, like last June they super tightened cross-threaded my lug nuts, causing one stripped lug and a broken stud!! WTF ... I call em up and Mitsu says " well nothing I can do for you, unless you wanna tow it in, and we will fix it for you, out of pocket of course you r out of warranty and at 98 dollars a stud."

WTF!!! Fu*K you Mitsu im going to small claims next week suckas...

Anyways I took it to a local shop and they fixed it all for 48 bucks... Thanks Mitsu.. [LOADING GLOCK]

Since you were both traveling roughly the same speed, then the force of the hit was only proportional to the relative speed which sound like it was more like 10 MPH ish... not trying to downplay your experience, because it was dangerous and had a lot of potential for bodily and property harm, but just saying....

Trying to get some draft for better gas mileage? lol

Sorry to hear about it. At least it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
