Accident

[Kimly207]

I was heading to work and honestly, I was trying to plug in my audio wire onto my phone so I can listen to music. I look down for one second, looked back up and saw that I was gonna hit the telephone pole, which it happen. I did some damage to my car which hurts me the most. ):

Currently in the process of finding a control arm at the junkyard to replace it, which I got now. Get a spare tire on the wheel. Looks like some rod got misplaced or whatever. Everything is messy and greasy down there cause of some oil leak that I have. C-mods can be done after. Thinking about another Legacy :\

Wowzers man! Just a couple more feet to the center of your car and it looks like it would have hurt even worse.

Very lucky.

I am really sorry for your loss...

[BG5guy]

Thanks, damn back roads and those poles :/

[Okin DaVanh]

:shock:



Glad you're OK. As you said, XXXX can be replaced on the car... However, your parents only gave you 1 of everything with no replacements.

















.

[GTDrifter]

wow, glad your ok and sorry about the car. Hopefully you can get a new one soon.

[White2.5GTLimited]

Wow, that looks rough. Glad you're okay though :) It sucks that these things happen, especially in that split second when we least expect it.
About the spare, it should be on one of the rear wheels & a fuse should be in the FWD fuse holder in the engine bay next to the passenger side strut (if you intend on driving it).
The reason for this is to save your center differential from frying. .
The damage that I see is 2 doors, a fender, a control arm, mirror, bumper, probably a C/V joint, & maybe some of the rear quarter (passenger side).
It's messed up, but not a lost cause (at least from what I see)

[Reason]

Dan sent me this pic the day it happened, pretty crazy. Good thing you are fine, cars can be fixed/replace.... and speaking of, if you want another Legacy I have one for sale! :grin:

[ouch1011]

Sorry about the accident. I've nearly done the same thing....I think we all have at some point. Hopefully you've at least learned the lesson that many people fail to learn, and that is that you cannot take your attention off the road for even a second.

[jockstar]

man. sorry about your loss! glad to hear you're OK.

[prodriver1]

I have doors, fender, one piece head light, bumper (gt), rims, controle arm, axle, and any other part you need. but I'm in MN :( but I'll give you everything you need for CHEAP. gota keep those subies on the road :smt023

[MarkSubi]

Damn! I'm happy your alright. but damn, the car. :/

[Kimly207]

:shock:

:shock: I was shocked too but thanks.. :/

[Kimly207]

Yeahs, I'm okay. Will be, in the process!!

[4n70n1n0]

She can be fix with little work. My first accident with my 2nd Gen LGT I bent the control arm too. kicked myself in the butt for underestimating the understeer in our cars and how hard curbs are (@__@)

IF she drives fine just replace the doors, mirror, fender and headlight and keep on chugin along. Looks to be mostly cosmetic damage

but like everyone else said the most important part is that you are ok

good luck

[chuckthefuk]

Control arms are a dime a dozen.

The beauty of a subaru is that its INTERCHANGABLE~~ YAY!!

Your control arm is used on almost all subarus!!

http://opposedforces.com/parts/info/20200AA210/

Impreza Legacy Forester.. whatever works,..

As far as the fender/door/skirt.

All cosmetic except the rear quarter panel.

Usually a repair like that can be done under $500 without quarter panel repair.

It could of been MUCH MUCH worse! Your windshield and hood are still intact be glad it was just a huge side swipe.

Shit not 2 months on the forum and bad luck strikes.

[Dead91silvia]

Welcome to being a tree huger! :grin:

All joking aside, good to hear your alright...


Chuck is right, parts are easy to get for these cars. I cant tell you how many control arms I've replaced. I have a full set of suspenchion just because I might need it... haha

A control arm and a strut should get you back on the road. Then a couple doors, a fender, head light, and some mud and paint work and she's golden!

[Kimly207]

Thanks guys. Over the weekend, I picked up another Legacy down in Massachusetts. I'll update everything once I'm out on the road, driving again. :)

[Wiscon_Mark]

It must've been this one's fault:

Yay. Can't wait to see...

[Kimly207]

So far, here's some pictures I took before she had to strip herself before heading in the garage. Her heart has a new outfit, lol.

Can't wait to drive her soon. Picking her up on Saturday night after Wicked Big Meet! :grin:

[MRLancaster]

Glad your ok!

[geckoboy86]

Thats an awesome new ride.
Suzanna is a nice name. I just refer to mine as The Subie (I'm the only Subaru driver out of my local friends). Never had a reason to name her just yet.

[MRLancaster]

Interesting seats too, are those factory in GT's? Ive never really seen a second gen GT up close.

[Kimly207]

Yeahs Suzanna is a pretty dope name for it haha. I wanted to save those seats cause in the black ones, they didn't have it so I was like well, imma just put my old ones in. :)

[Huffer]

Those are quite rare seats. Okin had a set in his BK. I've only ever seen two sets, and one was Okin's.

[Dead91silvia]

Nice! Naming a car only a few people will get. My 98 BD is White Lightning, My black GT wagon is Stella, and my 97 Outback is Rattles...

I have seen a few cars with those seats, but only about 3 or 4. I cant remember the years, but I know Ive seen a bunch of Outback with the same kinda stitch work, but said "Outback"...

[httrdd]

I like those seats!

[Kimly207]

I actually never knew that those seats are rare o.O That's nice to know!

Dead91silvia, I actually thought about naming her "Stella" too after I was to purchase an Alpinestars jacket :P

[redlegacygt]

glad to see its all working out for ya! i only call mine nice names when its working.. :lol:

[Kimly207]

Do you ever pet your dashboard after you hit a pothole and say "I'm sorry baby!" Lmao, I do. XD

[redlegacygt]

haha sometimes, although i do my best to avoid them all to together since my suspension can be a little harsh.

[Kimly207]

Ya, we all do. Roads here are getting really messed up though. It sucks.

[redlegacygt]

Same here... Pennsylvania has some of the worst roads ever... luckily in my town they've finally fixed some.

[Kimly207]

That's good. I like yo "caaah". Lol.

[redlegacygt]

haha thanks :)

[Kimly207]

You're welcome!

[geckoboy86]

Good for you...I still have crap roads in my area of PA (Chambersburg). My main street is just plain nasty.

I sometimes think when I take my car off road it is smoother then in-town.

[BG5guy]

ya, those seats are legit, ive only seen 1 set in person. Very jealous. Like the new ride. Black cars have more potential for cosmetic mods IMO. Congrats

[Tylerhartman]

Nice Replacement, Sorry about losing your first one luckily your still here so that's all that matters :)

[96LegacyWagon]

Sorry to hear of your loss, but happy to hear you remained uninjured!

Did you end up parting the car out or is it getting fixed up?

[mike-tracy]
