Shit man I just lost it in a big way and stuffed the rear suspension.

 

I think I'm in shock as i can't stop shaking, anyway no body was hurt but Audrey needs her rear end ripping out and replacing, so she is off road for a while.

 

The sad part is, no more Zedding for a while.

As long as you and any passengers are ok, she can be repaired, how much damage,? not bad or big time.

Cheers mate we are fine but a bit shaken.

 

First inspection just shows all the nearside rear suspension ripped out and bent. Bodywork is ok thankfully but I need to take the whole rear end out to make sur nothing else is done in.

 

In a word its fubar

Man that sucks, but at least nobody got hurt.

 

I find my Z a nightmare at the moment. It's ok getting the back out and correcting it, but the front shocks need replacing, so it takes forever for the car to settle down again even when it's pointing in the right direction. It means I have to have a lot more action on the wheel to stop it spearing off in the other direction!

The rear wheel took all the impact of the curb and the suspension arms bent and got ripped out, but I think for peace of mind I will get me a whole rear subframe and chuck it in, but at the moment I can't even think straight.

 

Man I'm furkin stupid, I had the wife in the car, I need a kickin.

Cheers I think I might do that.

Christ mate.

Glad no-one was hurt.

If you think you're in shock, you probably are. Sit down, cups of sweet tea etc.

 

Hope the car's not too hard to fix. There's always plenty of spares about so you should be ok.

Hey mate, listen I'm not sure it was all the tyres fault, and yes it is made in Korea, but I know the car woukld give a little twitch when I would floor it and as I was exiting a roundabout it twitched too far, hit some loose stuff and went on its merry way.

 

The end of the day I was driving too fast so I can't blame anything but the loose nut behind the wheel :rofl:

Well after a long time scratching my head, a couple of trips to see Slick Pete, top bloke, and 2 yes 2 new subframes blasted and painted and re bushed, Audrey is back together all bar a tyre, which is comming Monday, and the Hicas ball joints, also comming Monday (I had to order two more cos like a dullard I sold the others I had)

 

I will still be looking at setting up a bespoke hicas locking kit but for now I need her on the road.

 

So as of Monday I can ride around in style again :dance: :dance:
