Accident with a stupid deer





One night last week, hit a deer when coming home. Car was recently tuned. Wonder would there be any bad to the mods even after repair? Maybe power loss?

Oh Dang

If none of the intake members were changed w/another model, the tune should be just fine. The tune is held in the ECU and would not be affected by that IMO

Now, for sure on the alignment after an impact like that. Alignment should be part of the rework ticket

Hey, did the adjuster say anything about not having the crash beam in place?

I do not have full coverage, so... I'm buying new parts myself then bring it to a body shop to have them installed.
There is a certain amount of green fluid leaking after I hit the deer, but then no more leaks I can see so far. No significant change in coolant reservoir level, could it be ac fluid leak?

Ouch sorry to hear about this but glad youre OK. No need to worry about the tune; that'll be fine after the repairs are made. The car should most certainly be realigned after.

As for the green fluid its coolant and will most likely be coming from your radiator. The reservoir you mentioned is simply the spillover even with a bummed rad it wont necessarily drain that.

Ok. thank you. I will ask body shop to check for any leaking and loose connections. My AC condenser is deformed now, but ac still works fine. Do I need to replace it? I have been unable to find a new evo 9 condenser.

You should replace the condenser, chances are the warped unit wont fit after they replace the radiator support. Just get an aftermarket one from Rock Auto or another parts place.
