Yikes! thats what hitting a median at 40 MPH does, this one, one cracked, one bent, the last is *ok* tires are now on an STI

My lower control arm retires

Actually my Whole front suspension retires (EVERYTHING except for the passenger stabilizer bar link and passenger inner and outter tie rod)

One of the more hurtful losses, i am sure it can be repaired eventually though the battery cracked and sprayed acid all over it baking soda to the rescue

 

[tlo86]

The fix begins...

Sway bars, shock , spring, rotors, brake pads

Brake fluid

and rear control arms

SS brake lines, (Modification to stock brackets required )

"New" Radiator, my Cam gears, HKS BOV, Stock RX-8 Battery (Optima battery on the way luckily my friend gets them for free ) ,broken fan shroud (new one waiting on my dining table)
