Damn PQ, sorry to hear it, kind of a hard way for us to see what NOWEEDS are made of, you didn't have to do it, we didn't need to know that bad.

Seriously, coming from a guy who up until a year and a half ago had driven nothing but trucks since '92, I have to remind myself that I cannot just "drive over everything" in the road when I am in my Camaro. Hitting something like you did is always a concern.

this seems like the most appropriate place for a smiley like this...

PQ · 02-24-2013, 10:28 PM

The damage. I'm actually pretty lucky. Need a new tunnel brace, Tranny brace and noweeds motor.

JusticePete · 02-24-2013, 10:36 PM

What did you hit?????

I wish I knew. It was raining, dark and I was on the interstate. But it sounded like a hunk of metal or something heavy.

ok, so who installed a lift inside a cardboard box?

and may as well put a real man's transmission in there... ya know - while you're taking the brace out & all. easy access.

Looks like you'll get more boost now with the extra backpressure.

Tranny pan you mean. Yes, I got lucky on both counts. Oil pan was untouched and tranny pan took a hit.

Well I still have to replace my diverter. Probably the whole left side. :(

HOLY Crap.

Cutouts are fun, but a pita at times. I had the wires from mine break off once from hitting some road debris. I didn't even know it had happened until my cutouts wouldn't open.

Sorry this happened to you PQ.
