So recently I converted the car to mass air, also got it tuned so that it works properly. The dyno shop told me 222 hp at the wheels and 290 torque.
The chip and tune cost me about a grand and everything was working except for the windows (need new regulators) until yesterday when this happened:
guy in front of me made an emergency stop, it was a downhill slope and my brakes locked up. I have a newfound appreciation for ABS. Everyone was ok, but there were 3 other cars involved and I think things were piling up before I got there but it would be impossible to prove that.
Unfortunately, being the last in line means the law automatically puts me at fault for
all of it, so one of the three other people wanted the police to issue a citation, so now I have that as well. My insurance will pay to fix the damage on all their cars if necessary, but the damage to my car is on me.
The guy I bought it from owns a body shop and says it’s fixable, but I still have to get it in to find out how much this will all cost. The damage is only to the front bumper and left fender. The door doesn’t really open, the tires rub on the fender and the metal cracked on the radiator support which freaked me out.
It‘s been a really crappy week.
