So today was the unluckiest day I have had with my Evo so far. I was pulling into a space with a very small curb that stuck out more because a tree was planted in front of it. I did not see the curb and was pulling in very slowly trying to get even with the cars around me and all of the sudden I hear it! "CRUNCH!" I immediately slam on the breaks and proceed to back up a little hoping the horror I thought was going to come true wouldn't.

I stepped out of the car to find that I had literally split my carbon fiber lip, in half. I was pissed and was on my lunch break and tried to drive 3 blocks back to school and within a block I hear another crunch and feel a thud and see my lip trailing in the road behind me.

When I get back home later, I go to take the bumper off so I could take the other part of the lip off. I decided to tighten the banjo bolt that connects the oil line from the turbo to the head, because it has been leaking a little oil since I swapped my turbo a couple weeks ago. I hadn't even gotten a full revolution on turning the bolt and I hear it. "SNAP!" The bolt just broke in two with one side threaded into the head. I then turned on the car to move the wheels so I could finish taking my bumper off and I only had it on for about 2 seconds and then I come around and see that oil had sprayed all over the engine bay from the bolt.

Now I have to call a tow truck to take the car into the shop tomorrow.

What is your worst day you have had with your evo?

 

My clutch broke in Dallas last summer; I still lived in Minneapolis at the time and was just visiting as a long weekend roadtrip.

 

Yesterday my friends evo ran into the back of my evo..

at 90mph



I'm still tripping out

 

yikes that sucks

good luck! i hope everything works out

 

sorry to hear this it'll get better, you live and you learn.

 

Damn, bummer bro, its just not your day. Hey look on the bright side, you are blessed to drive a performance sports car. There's peope out there having the same day with a bucket of a car, so you're already ahead of the game

I have had a few days lilke this in my time, all together, the good days of full boost, crisp shifts and no worries far out weigh these ones for sure

Good Luck...

 

**** happens. i destroy my wheels everytime i park.

 

stop parallel parking? j/k

 

i should i hate parallel parking spe ially when people are looking

 

not cool at all, was the other evo bad too?

 

You're damn lucky you came away from a 90 mph collision with nothing more than bumper damage! Rather than tripping out you should be counting your lucky stars and learning from your mistakes.

 

Slave cylinder went out on me in front of a cop.

 

Counting my lucky stars=Trippn out

I could have died, that's exactly why its been bothering me allday

I really don't care about the bumper.. Might never fix it

 

blew an IC pipe in the ghetto of Newark at night...never put an IC pipe back on so fast in my life.

 

oh this is my 3rd do luck CF lip. first one i hit a pothole and the lip flew off and i look in my rearview and seen a school bus coming....BAM! big yellow ran it over D:
