My poor Evo got hit a few weeks ago. I was driving home from work in the middle lane, traffic ahead was stopped, so I stopped. The person behind me in a Saturn decided to merge into the lane to our right since it was moving and obviously miscalculated, instead merging into the backend of my Evo. Thankfully, the other driver has insurance and it is being "repaired" by a body shop. Her insurance is also covering my aftermarket exhaust, so I bought a Buschur cat back as a replacement for my Works axle back. For now, I am driving a rental Dodge Dakota truck.. which does not compare to my Evo in any way. Every day I drive this slow, heavy and generally unresponsive truck reminds me how much more fun my Evo is (make that was) to drive.

At first, the other drivers insurance company was going to put USED LANCER PARTS on my 3 or 4 month old Evo. After putting up a fight and threatening to make a claim against my insurance, they relented and now I am getting new parts from the dealership where I bought my car. After the car is returned to me, I plan on getting it recertified by a local Mitsubishi dealership.














If you look closely, you can see where my Works Exhale was bent in. Not a pretty sight. Not like the other pics are very pretty either.. the last pic is kinda crappy, but my P800's camera is not exactly top end.

 

Your Works Exhale isn't the only ting bent in...LOOK AT THAT REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT!!!

 

Suspension is majorly screwed.

 

sorry to see that. maybe you can get some VII tails? arent they cheaper than what a dealer sells VIII for?

 

Jansolo, who did the damage estimate on your car? was it the mitsu dealer or this "body shop"??

 

that looks PAINFUL
i would go postal if that happened to me
hope she gets fixed properly to her former glory.

 

ouch... feel yer pain, hopefully you'll be back and running

make sure you get someone to look at yer suspension... it looks majorly screwed

 

I bet that Dodge Dakota is fun to power brake.

I hope everything works out with the repairs.

 

sorry about that accident man.. My evo was hit in july and it ****ed up the whole rear drive side door. I just got into a fight with a curb after avoiding a falling branch and my whole underpiece where the intercooler is fell off and the lower part of the bumper.

Slapped the lower part on and im keeping the undercover off better airflow

 

The damage estimate has been done by the body shop. They've mentioned to me that the damage is somewhere in the neighborhood of 9000$ or so.

The body shop I am going to scared me a few times..

They kept on calling my a car and Lancer and kept on telling me that my car was FWD, not AWD. This is why they were going to put on used Lancer parts - they had no idea just what the difference is between an Evo and a Lancer.

 

The paint just fell off...thats crazy

 

What he said!!!
I FEEL U... SHE F***ED UP UR CAR!!! I"D GET A SECOND ESTIMATE THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ONLY 9G's OF DAMAGE..CHECK THAT WHEEL...LOOK AT THE CREASE BEHIND UR DOOR NOT A GOOD SIGN AT ALL SEEMS LIKE THERE'S MORE DAMAGE
BE STRONG!!! SHE"LL BE BACK

 

Man, that poor Exhale is just... broken.

But I agree, the frame is major crumpled. Sorry for your misfortune!

 

be careful about insurance. Let me tell you from experience. I had a claim against another person's car who hit my TT with his suburban. Traveller's insurence was representing him, and they initially quoted me a repair price of $5,600 even though the suburban had run over the front end of my car. It ende up being colse to $15,000. Make sure everything is the way you want it, and don't take refurbished parts if you can help it. Also, they will try to replace any of the body panels with aftermarket sheaper units. Don't take them either. Just some friendly words of advise. Good luck.

 

That sucks dude, once an evo is it its tainted, imagine the resale value.
