Damn brother! That SUCKS!! Glad you came out of it OK, glad you didn't lose the EVO bug and really glad you joined the fastest EVO club.....the white ones! Haha

What did happen? How hard did you hit the brakes? Was the anti lock still functional? Really weird.

Best of luck on the new one.
Thanks David.
I was joking with James that we are going to make it the Socal Bad Bish
No way i'm getting rid of the "BRPWRD8" plates brotha
Your right, real weird. I still have flashes of the moment I lost control. I guess I under estimated the power. As soon as i hit the brakes (which i hit pretty hard) the car started loosing control. Anti-lock's were working. I did have pretty crappy tires. Like I posted in the thread, the sucker starts right up. Still have plent of BR power on tap for "White Lightning"

Yeah, with the ABS functional it is really weird. I know someone else who wrecked there's lightly last year, at the drag strip though, slight hit. The car had no ABS on it and is why I feel in that particular case the driver lost control.

At any rate, I am glad you are OK!

I may turn it into a new 2.3 BR motor. Not too shabby for a back-up.

I've been getting a lot of messages from members looking to purchase some items off my Evo. I'm willing part out some stuff in hopes of helping memebers out with some reasonable priced items. Obviously, some items such as the power plant, and drive line will not be sold. I'm game for anything else (headlights, mirrors, misc stuff).
