zxP000000!.....hahah
Hey guys....I have a friend with a ZX3. I know....FORD SUX.. anyway. He thinks he can beat my stock tib 2001. Is this in anyway possible? lol. Anyway. This is really about my crash. I rearended this pr!ck last week. He decided to pass me on the shoulder of a 2 lane road and then slam on his brakes infront of me! Isn't that fun? So...my front end is misaligned and headlights are pointing about 8 feet in front of me. My steering wheel shakes when I hit 60. I need service bad. Anyone know any place to take it in the DFW area so that I can get a good price and fixed fast? Also...I can beat that ZX3 even with my car screwed up right?

Hey man...this most likely gonna be moved to Off Topic. General Team SR forum is for General Team Member questions (i.e. membership packet, stickers, etc...)
But to answer your questions...your Tib will beat a stock Focus (ZX3)...unless for some reason they have the SVT edition. But I doubt that's possible. A stock Focus has 130 HP, but real low torque. (can't remember what it is off hand) So you should be okay beating him in a race.
As for the accident, I would have him pay for it all. Since he cut you off and slammed on his breaks....I would go after him. BUT...since yu hit him from behind...any insurance company would say you're at fault. rolleyes.gif So go figure. sad.gif As far as your headlights go, you can align them back up to normal. When you pop your hood, and look at your lights, you'll see a little black screw on them where you can align them up or down. And as for steering wheel shaking..sounds like you just threw your front end alignment out. Go to any suspension shop like Monroe muffler or whatever and spend 40 bux to have the alignment fixed. Good luck.....

Thanks guys. I think the mountings my headlights are on have actually moved. It doesn't look like I could just go unscrew this and fix it.
And I roasted his ZX3......although I didn't beat another one....but it had advanced timing.
Also beat a 97 civic with cai and exhaust.
Love the TIB
