I got my Cav a few months ago and I was lovin it until I pulled a stupid. (The ass who thought I wanted to race didn't help but I still admit to being stupid)
I'm not a total newb to cars or boards, but I am new HERE. I've been lurking here for a month or so, yes I use the search button, no I will not ask about those stupid electric blowers or "chips" that lean your fuel map out!
I've been buying parts up and here in a few weeks I'll take her to a frame rack and get everything fixed up. I'll make a sig one of these days...
Anyway, here are some pics of the car post-wreck and some of the parts I've got thus far. Yes, I know I should get it fixed before worrying about headers and stuff, but I'm doing it anyway so I can just knock it out in a weekend with some help when it's ready.
Sorry if the pics take forever to load.

Welcome to the org, might I inquire as to what happened?

Two lane road, one way, I needed in the left lane to turn left, so I gunned it. But, so did the guy in the 5.0 F150..... I couldn't get roasted, so I whipped his ass.... (Don't know how......Ford....
) Too late. This is where the stupid comes in. Instead of going straight and going around I tried to hang the turn at like 35. What I fought was a bunch of railroad ties and old peices of railroad sticking up outta the ground next to the road....

So, plans for the new bumper? (body kit?)
_________________________
Already got a new bumper, quite stock looking. The exterior is staying stock, save for Maybe an air-splitter if I ever get a blower. The interior is getting Sony xplode 2 way 6x9's in the rear, xplode 6.5" in the doors, an xm radio setup, and possibly a few LED's under the dash. Probably a 12" sub and a decent cap. The LD9 is getting headers, intake mani, CAI, UDP, a test pipe (shhh!!), Gregs ignition and coil springs, and I might buy a set of cams if it becomes convenient.
A good cleaning for sure! It's also getting a set of either yokohama s-drive or some hankook H405's, drilled front rotors (Damn those rear disk's), and 16" American Racing Estrella alloys.
Ya just had to get me started

im guessing you meant to say rear drums?? "damn those rear disks"
hop on in i've got a J
Whats up with the 2 different headders in the pic?
That does suck though man.... I hate people like that... at least when an F-150 tries to race me.... I'm a mile ahead of them before I realize it.... fix that mofo up... mod it..... an take turns slower and all will be good
Seriousely though..... good luck with it.
Oops, yeah drums. I read the thread on the neon swap, but hell I'll probably just keep the drums. I wonder if putting discs on the back would screw up the brake balance enough to matter.... One is an intake manifold, the other is a header (in the pic). I'm kinda pissed at the intake mani though, the stock one has a groove for the tb gasket ya know, but this thing doesn't. And IMHO, rtv sealant is a pain!
Next week I'll be taking it to a frame shop. Another week or so after that, and I'll have a parts car from a scrapyard. I hope.

They are not headers, one is OBX header and the other one is OBX intake manifold which by the way won't work on your car. There is a post here somewhere about the OBX intake manifold.
Good Luck with the car.
i was waiting for a response like that!
hey man good luck on the car i've had Fun with it so far
just rip that S&*% apart man.
