Poor baby :(
When I finally got a chance to peak underneath since i had to change the wheel to the spare so I can move it inside my garage, I checked the control arm since obviously something was wrong with it. I was expecting it to be bent....it wasnt. It was snapped in pieces.

Blah! This is gonna be a while till shes on the streets again since i have almost no time to work on her during the week.


-EDIT#1-
Adding some pics. I forget to take pics of stuff as im going along with tearing apart my car. But I'll be posting what I have for the times I remember.

-My replacement APS 525 FMIC Kit showed up in this box. Lol.

-Now some of you are not going to like this. But I decided to remove my AC. I never use it, and would rather just sell it to someone who wants it.
A little extra cash never hurts.And NO, im NOT doing it for weight loss or MOAR HORSEPOWA! lol.

-With the AC pump gone, I was thinking...maybe I should put a AOS or catchcan in that empty spot?

-Better view of frame now that AC condensor and radiator are out of the way.

Damn that sucks man. My Subie had some relatively similar front end damage (broken headlight, damaged front bumper cover, fender, hood) from being pushed from behind into an F-250. Its crazy how a bit of an angle and some more speed can tweak the frame, let alone break control arms, etc. How'd the accident happen?

I was cruising into the mountains with my buddy. Its a common spot for young people around my age to go racing, but it being 3am, I thought it would be safe for me to go for an early morning cruise before I went home.
We were going up, and there were 2 cars coming up behind us. So I flashed my turn signal to let them pass me up. But one got infront and the other stayed next to me in the opposite lane.
A turn came up and he swerved towards me, almost hitting me, so I snapped the wheel to avoid us colliding into each other, but I went off the road and smacked the mountain. The other two cars just kept going. Looked like an integra and civic but I wasn't 100% sure.

The frame damage is very minor, its just the part that holds the bumper that got bent. The rest is the core support that ill just rip off and weld a new one on.

The control arm is a pita to remove though.
One of the bolts holding it in is completely missing, and the other is jammed.
Subframe brace was trashed. But, it gives me an excuse to go aftermarket and upgrade everything now. So I've taken off a lot more than just the damaged stuff lol.

Harness bar and 2 sparco harnesses will be coming in soon :)
