Crashed The VTR!! :(

[wilksey]

It was Thursday night and I was coming home from my GF's house.

It had been raining heavily for hours and had only just stopped.

Turned out from the top of her road to be greated by a dog.

Slammed brakes on, front left wheel hit curb, bounced off sending

my rear left wheel smashing into the curb in a catapult effect.

Now the damage doesn't look that bad.

BUT

IT IS!

Need's ... new brake disk (cracked in half), brake pads, tortion bar's bent, anti role bent, radius arm, rear part of the exhaust.

Then will need to get two of my alloys refurbed.

All this at only 30 MPH. Just goes to show anything can happen.

Now I have no car for 1 week.

The repairs will cost me me £1250 as I have no time to go round scrappys.

This is ALOT of money just to put it on the road, when I can buy another saxo for around £2000!

Would you repair it or scrap it? Only had it 4 months not even that and put £800 into modding it.

Here are some pics

Im well gutted.

Lol at your back wheel. If its going to cost that much i would prob break it sell it for spares. You would be able to get all parts alot cheeper from scrappy but you say you dont have the time, so you prob wont have the time to break it.
Depends how much you love your car :)

feel for you chick, us VTR drivers are not having much luck this week mine was used as a brake by a transit on Tuesday, pretty sure mines a right off :(

2nd hand rear axel lowered and fitted £200ish speak to chris at manic motors he maybe able to help you out.
New discs £24 pads £9.

Exhausts are cheap ish.

Seriously £1250 is a joke i could have that fixed for next to nothing.

Drop manicmotors a pm see what he can sort for you.

Could buy my VTR and swap everything over! lol, sorry to hear, should have hit the fucking thing.

[jacko87]

Either take the time to find cheaper places to get it fixed, or break it and sell it for spares and get a new car! :y:

Good luck mate

[Sammy-Boy]

Sorry to hear that geezer but I would ask afew more places for prices tbh- I know you dont have the time but it would be worth it

[dispin]

That sucks! Sorry to hear. Hope everything works out.

My back wheel done that, If its just the back disks cracked (mine snapped in half) etc etc then you may aswell get a back axle, complete with disks. If its the front brakes, wont you be moddin these anyway? You could try n see this as a "now i have to mod it", thats my way of thinkin lol, then i dont get pissed off as much haha. Good luck with it pal.

[jzink]

looks expensive

[D8N_LL]

shit mate, i agree with the others. try find sum time to go around and get quotes, if not buy a new one and sell urs for spares

[DaveyBoy]

i live round the corner from you and have all the parts you need!

[jzink]

you would double your money breakin your car mate!

[d4r3n]

dont break the car or sell it as been said you could get it back on road for about 300 quid just look round for parts im sure you can live without a car for a while cant you ?
