Yeah I seen it this morning as you were driving toward me on Irwin St. on post.

And I noticed it was there Monday Morning as you were sitting behind my truck going into post.


So it WAS you!! Lol, i only saw the big Turbo elements decal on the rear window so i thought it was you.

I really dont know what i can do to it, i'll just experiment with some stuff to fix it, might have to use fiberglass instead of plastic for the bottom.

Thanks for the tip HKC, i'll keep that in mind, i might have to build a metal structure in the front like the trucks put on, LOL.

Now i keep my eyes pealed to see any living creature that tries to cross the road... and by the way, today morning heading up to work, i never found the rabbit... i only saw a big black spot on the asphalt were i remeber i hit it, the only thing that was left of the rabbit was some blood on my driverside side skirt and a bunch of rabbit hair on the wheel well and skirts. Oh and my dog found the rabbit's tail.

Well, i'm here reviving my thread.

I've recently started to work on my bumper again. I was kinda getting disapointed on this bumper and was deciding to just get another FG bumper after the last accident i had with the rabbit. Then it hit me: "HECK NOOOO!! If i hit another rabbit with a FG bumper it will not only break the bottom off but the freaken WHOLE bumper will come off!!!". So i decided to work on it and had a new idea, hence my new sig.

I just made the mouth taller for my future IC. I plan of Turbo Charging my tib laugh.gif.

So far i've baught the six puck ACT clutch, XTD Chrome-Moly Flywheel, 65mm BBTB. Next i really have to buy a beta ii tranny, mine suxors right now with the issue of the synchors.

Anyway, back to the point, first here is a pic of my bumper after i just hit the rabbit, look at were it broke instead of brakeing were i added the 4".



Here is the progress of what i have right now. Still need alot of sanding, and getting all lined up to look good, but the template is on and how i want it.









Oh yeah, i forgot to mention that the yellow tube on the bottom is a GAS line that we took out of one of the old houseing project in Fort Huachuca that we demolished. It is freaken stiff now, I can kick it and it doesnt even bend, well maybe a little...

Tell me what you guys think, Thanks.

That sucks 02.gif

I remember once my ex wife hit a raccoon in the taurus I used to have.. 3 years later I was under it changing the starter and found leathery clumps of skin with black and white fur still in them.. Really made me feel bad.

I felt bad for weeks after we hit it, finding bits of it bummed me out again.

On the weekend i hit the rabbit i had to wash it very good cause i had hairs and blood all over my driverside, on the intake filter and on the mesh of my sideskirt.

Oh, and my little dog decided to help me clean it, i saw him eating some pieces of the rabbit and he also found the rabbits tail.
