Quick Lower Intake Air Temperature fix

[MiamieNeSeX]

1) Have your 12 year old daughter ask you to take you to a Saturday night movie in the "fast car"
2) Stop 1 full car length behind some "Yahoo" in a pickup truck.
3) For no reason other than to ruin your daughters saturday night, have the "Yahoo" back up into your car under acceleration.
4) After you calm your daughter down,make sure she is ok and say too many 4 letter words, you get out of the car and realize it looks like you just rear ended him.
5) Out of the restaurant come 5 Fire Rescue personel and say the saw the whole thing, pheww no insurance claim on my part.

And the fix for the I Lower IAT ............ Put your car in the body shop for the balance of the summer. I hope all of you are having a better and less stressful Saturday night.

OUCH!!..at least you and your daughter are safe. But that is sucks...totally nightmare.

 

[ChopsJazz]

What the...!?! Good thing there were witnesses! Did the truck driver stick around to get cited? Did you get the plate #? Did he offfer any explanation? I'm glad eveyone's okay.

 

[MiamieNeSeX]

He stuck around as soon as he saw the Fire rescue guys, it was a no brainer, my daughters is fine, she more upset at the guy for ruining her night at the movies.

Ouch! The saving grace is that you have nice weather all year, so whenver it gets finished you can get out and enjoy it. Glad everyone is okay.

and say too many 4 letter words

Understandable!

 

[Racerxjling]

Glad everyone is ok. Maybe a chance to do a 2002 conversion if you like the look.

Good luck

What a difference a few hours make. Here we were earlier today checking out the talent on South Beach MTV is in town for the VMAs.

 

[spyderman33]

Armando, that sucks major A$$!

Sorry to see that..

I thought that all the hill billys had left Miami..

 

[MJK]

That stinks! Glad to hear everyone is OK, and that the bill will go where it should for the fiasco. Good luck getting her back on the road!

 

[KGP]

I knew you had diverse talents, but I had no idea!

 

[Zishan]

First off, AGAIN, your wheels/car looks freaking AWESOME!!!!
Secondly, what the hell did the moron say as to why the hell he would do that? I'm curious?
Third, glad you and your daughter are ok.

G Luck,

[prova4re]

DAMMMM!!! That sucks!
Good to hear the daughter is ok, looks like its time for the 02 front end.
Better call SOS asap, as you don't have much time to fix it with Nsxpo right around the corner.
Later Brian.

 

[JChoice]

Well, here's your chance to get an 02 headlight conversion.

 

[MiamieNeSeX]

I knew you had diverse talents, but I had no idea!

And you thought we could only row inflatable rafts.

Before this gets out of hand, I said "YAHOO" not redneck and I appreciate the well wishes, new look is definatly in order. Maybe a hot pink paint job with 20" spinners, that way everyone will see me.

[4AU4LIFE]

Sorry to hear of the accident. Glad everyone is alright. Good to know their were unbiased witnesses to verify what happened.
Hope you get it back better than ever.

 

[nsxchi-town]

Sorry about your ride...

But cars can be fixed just be glad your ok as well as your little girl.







little off topic: this is how its done. story with pic's (wolf)...... insidejoke

 

[NeoNSX]

I hate seeing pictures like this... especially of such a sexy NSX belonging to another Prime member.

Was there any structural damage or just isolated to the panels & headlights?


....errr... so when are you putting your damaged hood up on e-bay? Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[DocL]

Holy crap, I'm sorry to hear and see what happened to your car Armando. Fortunately it only looks like the headlights and hood need to be replaced.

How was the scene at SOBE?

 

[MiamieNeSeX]

Doc, the beach was amazing to say the least. 20ccs of silicon would go by only to give way to 30ccs amazing day. As far as the car the following is the visible damage, front bumper(upper and lower),hood, both fenders seem to have buckled a bit, I am sure there is damage to the a/c condensers as it didnt work on the drive home.

Armando

 

[NetViper]

Damn dude!

Sorry to see this happen. I am glad to hear you and your daughter are OK.

 

[MiamieNeSeX]

Thanks again for everyones concerns , it looks much worse on film than it did from inside the car(air bag did not go off although it should have) the pick up truck was backing up and probably going about 10mph when it hit us, then it just continued to crunch and bend the hood. After we got out we were under his truck about 2.5 feet , his rear tires were almost floating. Now the worst part, once the police arrived and he saw what happened he asked us to move the cars off the road. Picture running your nails across a blackboard, thats how it felt and sounded when I put the car in reverse and watched and listened while more aluminum and plastics with multiple coats of Zaino get destroyed. My little girl is fine just upset at the guy that scratched "her" car, needless to say she chose that we stay in that night and watch tv on the couch. Now Im just waiting for the flatbed to show up and make the drive to the body shop where I will begin the decesion making on which way to go on the repairs. stay as it is, 2002 update or and FX500 just kidding MarkB.
Ill post pictures as the progress begins.

[MiamieNeSeX]

Flatbed with the car to what seems to be a yearly makeover

 

[NetViper]

So sad to see a white one get toasted. So close to home

It looks like it shouldn't be a huge repair though. Hopefully you will get her back soon! I guess with the 02 front on there, your car would like really close to the Type-R. Now that would be really sweet!

Are you really thinking of FX500?
