Sorry to hear about and see that damage! You can find the 18" chrome bullets at the Ford Racing Performance Parts website. They are $289.00/ea and include the center cap. I didn't find them on the Ford Accessories website, but I know if they have them they would cost ALOT more from Ford. Good luck!

 

Well I just got back from the performance shop where I get all my mods and I have news. Other than the panhard bar and 2 rims being toast, the car seems fine. I didn't feel any wobble on the way there so it seems that the axle and gears are ok. The steering wheel alignment pulling to the right a little but I was told at the shop that it's probably because the back end is out.
I'm going to get the Steeda panhard bar as a replacement and 17" polished bullits. I will put drag radials on the 2 good remaining rims and use them at the track. Of course we won't be 100% sure about the total damage until we start replacing parts but this looks to not be the worst thing in the world that has ever happened to me. I will just try to view this as an opportunity to upgrade.

 

Always makes me sick to hear something like this. Depending upon if you had power going to the rear wheels, or if the brakes were applied or locked at the time of impact might tell a mechanic to look a little closer at something.

 

incomingRPG where are you from in central mass I am in worcester it`s good to see some others from the mass area........ryan sorry to hear about the car but like you said time to do some upgrades not always a bad thing

 

PM sent

 

Sorry to hear about that man. I hope everything works out for ya. I hate jerks like that, that do something incredibaly dumb and take off without owning guilt.

Matt

 

glad to hear that the damage is minor,

be sure to get a good alignment when all is said and done

 

Worcester huh? I went to WPI and my sister still goes there. Is it Summer Nationals yet? It's funny to do burnouts in the middle of the street in front of cops and they don't care.

Last summer in my 05 there was a cop begging me to rip a shot. I told him that was entrapment!

 

I know I'll have to get an alignment. Thankfully alignments aren't to expensive. As it stands right now with all of the upgrades/replacements I'm looking at about $1500. Thats including labor.

 

The shop just ordered a set of these Bullits. I think they will look good on sonic blue.

 

lol dustin ya i love the summer nationals i have a lot of friends that compete in the burnouts gotta love being able to do a burn out downtown in front of many cops and spectators...I usually check it out every year

 

Well I got my car back and it is back to normal. The new bullits look great. I will get some better pictures when the weather is better and I can wash the car.
Total came to $1352 for wheels, steeda panhard bar, wheel alignment, mount and balance tires and labor.

 

Heres another shot

 

now paint those calipers!

 

Here is the Steeda panhard rod.

I know I need to paint the calipers. What color do you think I should paint them?

 

blue>?

 

Blue is my first choice right now. How do you think red or silver would look?

Ryan, glad to see everything is working out for you. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] Again, I like your choice of wheels. I think I like the "lip" design of them better than the optional 18" polished Bullitts. Looking forward to the pictures. I would consider a "gold" just like the finish on some new calipers. Good luck with your choice!

 

Thanks Ray. I wasn't sure if I'd like the lip but now that I see it in person, I love it. Don't get me wrong, I like the 18" rims lip too.
Gold could be a good idea for the calipers. I need to get some samples and hold them up to the car to see how they will look. I don't think red would look good against the blue. I'm going to take some time to think about it before jumping into this.
