Bear Mt area run this Saturday morning if anyone is interested

Guys,

It was great meeting all of you. Thanks for all your concern. I appreciate it very much. I spent the afternoon ripping off the bumper. Everything behind the bumper is intact. The bumper beam itself is slight dented when the passenger side bracket bolts on. The bracket where the passenger side headlights mounts on buckle up about quarter of an inch, which I wacked it back down straight. I already contacted joe and send him 2 pics. He can do a further inspection and see if I need anything else. So far, I think I am lucky to get away with just a bumper cover.

Car parts can be replace. I am just glad no one got hurt especially that lady.

Other than this "in/accident", I did have a great time. Thanks guys. I am off to Milwaukee for training from the 14th-17th. I will try to get the car to Joe so he can take care of it while I am gone.

Hey glad to hear everyone was fine but I was just wondering what exactly happened that caused you to damage your front bumper. From the looks of it seems like you lost traction from dirt on the road, spun out, and side swiped your bumper on that cliff wall.

raven,

I believed I hit a patch of wet area on the road that was a result from water leaking down the mountain. I spun out one way, but over-corrected, then spun the other way, try to correct again, but was not able to. the nose of the car went almost perpendicular into the mountain. Good thing is by that time, most of my momentum was lost from spinning. It did not hit the mountain hard enough to cause severe damage.

Anyone have any video footage from yesterday? I would love to see some. I have about 3 minutes of us coming down 218 after we all made the turn around on the gravel road (not fun). It's exremely hard to watch as the camera is not mounted and Karen is getting severely beaten up my my car. In the video I even captured that silver TSX going up the hill opposite us. This is that's car stopped in the road near Bernard in Dave's photo.

[jadkar]

Hey, I didn't have my SLR but Karen had her little Elph. Picture quality obviously isn't the best but some of the photos were fun.......

Through the mirror, not bad

John explaining how there wouldn't be an NSX if it wasn't for the CRX!! .. Bailey doesn't look convinced.

Guys,

I spoke with Joe. He sent down a flatbed to pick up my car. Its on the way to his shop to check for the damages. I didnt drive it up bcoz I already took the front bumper off. I am crossing my fingers.

No need to cross your fingers, the car will look minty when Joe's finished with it. Are you having him do the 02+ front conversion?

 

[Dynamic-uzed-auto]

Oh how I wish I would have joined you guys instead of doing quads with my buddies in P.A. Apparently I underestimated a steep hill and came down hard. Fracturing my humerous. I had surgery and should be fine within 3 weeks. Don't know when Ill be able to whip the nsx again but will hope to be at the next meet. In the meantime these percaseds are GREAT.

 

[radtekmr]

RPM, I havent decided if I would go with the 02+ conversion or not. I still have to speak with Joe. I also have some renovation project that's coming up. I may have to go with NA1 nose for now. Plus I just put on the jdm/edm fog lights and my NA1 type-R hood, which survive the accident without a scratch.

Dynamic, sorry to hear about your humerous. Hope you get better soon.
