My X was totaled today. I was going around a little curve at about 35-40 and my front passenger tire either blew out or the broke the bead away from the rim. It sent me into the curb setting off the passenger side curtain, seat and dashboard air bag as well as my steering wheel airbag. After going over the curb I went straight into a light pole. The front end is pretty messed up but didn't effect any of the rails, motor mounts, engine or new ef2 and mani i had installed yesterday. Not sure what I'm gonna do yet but I don't think I'm gonna mess with having it fixed and potentially having a lemon. Any suggestions?

 

Tires weren't stretched where they?

 

No, 245s on stock enkeis

 

What tires did you have?

 

Cooper zeon zpt's

 

Oh no. That is horrible. Sorry to hear that bro. Post up some pics of it. If the car is unrepairable, I really hope you can get another Evo!

 

Were you on the brakes when the tire went?

 

35-40??? Please! New EF2. What was the real speed?

 

^^^ Hahaha.

Sucks to hear bro. And right after you got your new parts installed.

Well I guess it gives you the chance to start over with the insurance money if it's totaled and upgrade from the 08 to a 11 or 12. Hope everything works out ok.

 

No joke. It don't know exactly how fast I was going but it couldn't not been over that. There were no tire marks even when I turned side was in the street

 

Damn that sucks. Best of luck with getting that taken care of and a new car!

 

damn dude that blows!! hope you are ok and get in to something good car wise!!

 

That Sucks!
Always Happens After You Upgrade.

 

Sucks Bro... Happened to me in my RA a few months back. Left front end went into a concrete median. $8500 to fix.

And yes I was going about 35 - 40 as well... lolz
