Default NFSLancerRA replacement car

So, last night a drunk driver completely obliterated my car. If the insurance company totals it out over the next week, I will see if I can pull the TCU. If this is the case, you can have it. The car may be dead, but that doesn't mean that it can't be useful.

Have any pics of the damage? If it's considered totaled, I'd grab those brakes as well since they weren't cheap.

I will get pictures tomorrow when I go to survey the damage and assess the overall situation and make a verdict as to the fate of the car. The brakes are coming with me on to the next Ralliart.

Nice! Glad you're going to stay with the Ralliart.

Im glad you're okay, E. That sux. Keep us posted.

Damn drunk drivers.

I had this SUV cut me off & slam on her brake with no one in front of her after she cut me off. wtf is wrong with people in this world? I didnt do anything to her. seems like she is just looking to hit someone or have someone rear end her. It was deliberate action on her behalf.

On the side note on the topic, I hope you can retrieve the TCU as it would be beneficial for all SST owners. You may have to cut away some mangled parts.

That's terrible, glad to here your ok. It's amazing what people do while wasted and it's practically considered acceptable to drink and drive until something happens.

I was about to put down a considerable amount to buy an RA full SST tranny located up in Canada for this project, so if your TCU is at all salvageable that would be awesome. If you need any funds for shipping, insurance company costs, or labor to pull it I would be glad to donate to get it to Bryan and Colby.

I have been notified that I will be able to recover whatever I wish from the vehicle. I will call Spec-Ops later about recovering the computer and RAD. I am going to retain the ECU and TCU.
