Greg- Where are the Nats held at? Wouldn't mind seeing the beast run!
On a side note, I think the warranty is about to get compromised on my car (not really, just planning and purchasing for the future). I was out in California for business and was in the area where Megan Racing is. Needless to say, I suckered myself into buying their o2 housing. The one guy I spoke to was very honest about his opinions with respect to his parts and competitors parts. Impressed.
Now, I just need an exhaust to pair up with this o2 housing. Do you guys have a preference? I was thinking Buschur or Megan, leaning towards Buschur.

Nationals will be at Mid Ohio, September 13-16. I would love to see a bunch of Evo support there, especially since there only appears to be two Evo's registered for competition - including mine!
I've been real happy with my Buschur exhaust, it's been pretty much trouble free since I put it on 4 years ago.

OK guys, I need a little help. Nationals is in 9 days, that car is still in pieces, and I need a couple of parts. I'm leaving to get the car tuned Thursday morning, so I'm a little desperate here!
I just need two things:
1st priority - 2-1/2" to 1-3/4" IC coupler. I need at least a 3 ply straight connector.
2nd priority - Clean stock FMIC. Mine has seen better days, all the fins are bent, etc. I need one that came off a car early in life and is in good shape. The car needs as much cooling as possible, as we're gonna be cranking up the boost quite a bit. I also will need this to be loaned to me for a couple of weeks or donated to the cause, as I'm out of cash to get this thing finished.
If anyone can help me out, I would surely appreciate it!! Call me, leave me a message here, email me, PM me, whatever!

I saw a BBY EVO 8 in Carlisle on Beachler str. at a park I was on the train setting there and a RR EVO 8 in Hamilton on st rt 27 yesterday both looked stock any body on here.
Well, I need serious suggestions now.....I'll figure the exhaust stuff out later but someone rear-ended me today on my whole 3/4 mile drive home from work today.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do? Or any experience with accidents?
This really devastates me as its never going to be a "perfect" car as I have kept it. It goes to show you can put every last best bit of effort into keeping something perfect and some A-hole has to come around and screw it up.
Furthermore, does anyone know any good places to go to get the repairs done? Local or not....

I have had some great success with Shotmillers body shop in Sharronville. They have perfect color match and will make your car look as good as new. They did a great job on my car after it was shot 8 times by a drive by pellet gun shooting. It looks flawless now.
That sucks. 
What do you need help with regarding accidents? How bad is the damage? As for the repairs, call Performance Autobody on the corner of Limaburg and 18. They are they only folks I'll let touch any of my cars. They will make it right. Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks for the two autobody suggestions.
I am really p'd off for the fact that I got this car this year, had virtually no miles on it, now has 5,500 miles on it and it was in perfect condition. Even pulled it from a dealer showroom in another state. Now I probably have to settle for a body shop to repair it (which still won't be the same to me) and the value reduced for the fact of being in an accident. Althought I never had plans on selling it, its now going to have the accident on its record. I am probably overreacting, but its my baby.
I should get you guys some pics but the damage pretty much covers:
-bumper cover (holes and scratches all over)
-trunk corners bent (trunk doesn't close as the latch doesn't match up anymore)
-left rear corner panel wrinkled (have no idea how they fix this)
-bumper pushed in pretty good on left corner. (something rubbing left tire)
-taillight cracked in corner
-wing still there (was gonna remove this weekend
)
The damage looks kinda bad. At this point, I am not sure if its going to require extensive repair.
Greg - I was just wondering what my best chances are to get this fixed to the best possible condition. I don't even know my options at this point.
Finally, any suggestions on lawyers in the area? I might be seeking one and would appreciate any recommendations.
