2nd Gen Fender pics?
 

Nailed a high curb last night turning into a gas station. It was in the dead center or the front end. I really don't know what happened, i just didn't see the curb then bam, air bags pop out. I hit the curb so hard that the faceplate of my radio flew off into my lap. And I couldn't have been going more then 10 MPH. The adjuster is coming out tomorrow to survey the damage and see if she's totalled. I may have some 1st gen clear corners and a shark spoiler for sale soon. 02.gif

She may be gone *pics
 

It's a good thing you were only going 10mph and that you weren't hurt. Sorry about your car..

Re: Sleeper Project
 

at least we know someone's airbags work

Re: subs and weight
 

yea from what i've read about other peoples accidents their air bags didn't deploy .... hope mine work.

Sry bout the Tib man , glad ur all right

Re: subs and weight
 

Why would they total the car for just that?

Re: She may be gone *pics
 

that really sucks man, you really think it could be totaled? man that hurts.
well...dibs on the corners.

LOL

that sucks man. sure a bad time to go get gas! i hit the median head on going 35mph and didn't get that much damage. how high was your curb?

total waste of time and money... don't you agree? don't worry, you're not alone. we've all been there. if you do consider selling your tiburon, the resale values of RD tiburons are not that high. you'd save yourself some serious time and hassle just buying another one and selling your babe. the difference between a new one to fixing yours up would be like $500 tops. and you can also swap the mods you have from your old one for free. there are lots of good deals out there. tibs, no matter what condition, are always a good purchase. if something goes wrong, you fix it once, and it won't happen again. good luck!

Re: She may be gone *pics
 

My tib was in a very similar situation a couple of years ago....excpet the speed was MUCH higher.

Glad you are okay.

If your dealership tells you they have to replace the crash pad, go to another dealership.

get burnt by the bags??

how is your collar bone?? (assuming you were wearing your belts)
I have a set of seat belt pads on my belts (Did then too) and I swear they saved me from a broken collar bone. Still hurt alot, but nothing broke.

Re: subs and weight
 

Hey, it's an excuse to put in an aftermarket steering wheel. No more airbags. And if it is totalled, so what? That's how I got my tib, bought it totalled and paid cash to fix it up. Total I've got about half the sticker cost into it, it's totally paid for, Custom hood, Steering wheel, clear corners, headers, etc. Finnishing the work on it now. IMO the only reason a salvage title will hurt you is on resale, and I will NEVER have to worry about that. Keeping her for life! 8)

Re: *EBAY ALERT!!* Beta Series PHENOLIC SPACER (Intake Man.
 

usually when the airbags deploy in most cases the car is considered totaled but you never know. gl on that.

Re: CEL constantly...wtf?
 

I hit a curb almost a year ago airbags went off, winsheild broke seatbelts locked.
I had no damage what so ever other than that 8O , I was ok.
Hope there is no damage on yours.

Re: canadianshark's new ride
 

sorry to hear that man 02.gif

dont get rid of you car!!!

Re: Help with speech topic
 

i hit a van and crushed my left fender, made the small crack in my windshield bigger, and neither air bags went off 8O
just use this as an excuse to get new stuff if you plan on keepin it :-)

Re: CEL constantly...wtf?
 

That sucks man, It doesn't look all that bad thouth. I work at a bodyshop and we've done 3 or 4 tibs hit alot harder than that . Good luck with it man.

Re: Scariest Hyundai Owner
 

:o :cry: hard luck ...

like your blue needles thou.....

Halo 2 Tourney!
 

lucky for you that your bags worked. i hit a curb last winter sliding on the ice. i hit it hard enough that the front bumper and drivers quarter panel were wrecked. i hit the curb with the rim, thats the only thing that hit it. the axle snapped and wheel set back like 6". but the rim was ok except for a small scratch. and the bad thing, was my airbags did not go off. we were all ok ( there were six of us in the car but the car cost almost 2k to fix. :x

Re: Halo 2 Tourney!
 

Whoa .. Sorry to hear that man. What's up with the windshield? Did someone's face hit that??? If so .. Ouch .. If not.. whatever .. Man hope your fine .. Slow crashes = Damn it .. Stupid stupid .. Fast crashes = Man i wiped her good!!..

Sorry to hear about the car .. Damn tiburon drivers .. Always crashing there cars ..

The windshied is from the passenger airbag.
When it deploys, it shoots the air bag cover on the dash up and smacks into the windshield. It'll crack it 99.999% of the time if the pass. airbag deploys

Re: raffles
 

Well I hope that they don't total it out also. But it'll prolly be a grip to get things straightened out in the front end. But I don't know, all that stuff around the radiator got pushed back like 2 inches. Plus I've recently discovered that somewhere that frame must be bent cause my hatch doesn't close right. The can had 120k on it, and ran like a champ. But i'm looking around and found a prety nice 01. But to answer your questions, I was not drunk, the windshield cracked from the passenger airbag, I was the only one in the car. I had my seatbelt on and I really don't even remember hitting the bag. I recall it hitting my arm and put a burn mark on my sleeve. I was able to walk out of the car feeling pretty good, my ankle and head hurt for a while, but that was probably just beacuse of the loud bang. I'd say the curb was about 7-9" high. Low enough to completly miss my bumper somehow.

I really don't want to get rid of it, but hey if they total it, I'm having a sale of everything until they come and take it away.

Re: I can't access to this site from my home computer.
 

they probably wont total it (i think unless theres alot of frame damage)

if they do and the car has rear disks i call dibs!!

Re: Verticle doors website...
 

Best of luck bro, doesn't look that bad, but I understand how they total stuff quick.

Re: Halo 2 Tourney!
 

damn man that sucks.. sorry to hear that.

hmm doesnt seem like tibs hold up very well in those situations.. do they?

Re: KSpec Bro's Gauges
 

They do, I've seen some spectacular wrecks with tibs that folks walk away from. Problem is though that the resale is low enough that they are EASILY totalled.

Re: Pre-turbo
 

if you go for another rd1n, all you would have to do is swap the aftermarket parts over. but it depends. rd2's are usually more stable and quiet. the internals have more quality. basically, everything that was faulty with the rd1, was fixed in the rd2.

it's good you weren't hurt. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>But to answer your questions, I was not drunk</div> people asked me the same damn question because it was late and i was coming home from work late night. --i was tired! work is hard! i would not dare drink and drive and scratch my babe up!

ou...sorry to hear about that... 02.gif

Re: Scariest Hyundai Owner *WORK WARNING, NSFW*
 

Try spinning out into a curb (slight curves and sprinklers are bad) during a drag at 90 mph... but I smoked that ***** in his MX3 POS. No air bags, no pain to me, full centerpiece to dash flew off and snapped off driverside rear rim... rim broke, total damage to dealer = new car. Fixed it almost completly w/ $200 wink.gif I love salvage yards!

You start parting out, lemme know, you'll have plenty of business lol.gif

Re: tibs in nopi
 

Well here's the news, she's a loss. They came and saw the car today and considered it totalled.
