The after effects of a tire blowout in the apex of a freeway on ramp turn........

 

Ouch... Hope everbody involved is okay. Front ends can be replaced, people cant and thank godness for Insurance.

 

Oh now were fine. It didnt even hurt, should have but for some reason it didnt! LOL! The car is totaled. Getting ready to purchase an 06 tC

 

FRAME DAMAGE= TOTAL LOSS!

 

Hit the concrete barrier, did a 180 and then slammed the rear passenger side!

 

Good to hear your okay, ahhh frame damage.. Any damage to the FMIC, or any other turbo Acc's. ?

 

insurance is looking into that now. Whatever is damamged will be replaced and put onto my 06 tC. Most of my aftermarket equip. is ok though. I had 5,000 worth insured, and what is damamged is not even close to that

 

I cannot believe the air bags didnt go off. If you look closely you can see the airbag sensor on one of the side shots. EVERYTHING around it is damaged, but the airbag sensor on boths sides wasnt touched. CRAZY! Im glad it didnt cuz, it might have hurt if they went off

 

Ouch, glad your ok man.

 

Glad to know you're okay. Please update us on the '06.

 

Wow. How fast did you it the barrier?

 

Yeah im glad im ok too, didnt hurt a bit, actually i started laughing, but really i wasnt paying attention to how fast i was going, i mean i wasnt going TOO FAST by any means, nothing would have happend if my tire didnt blow. I've taken that same corner 50 times ya know

 

so what cause the tire to blow?

 

Here is my guess, I had a nail in rear tire a couple weeks ago, got it patched, and im guessing slowly it started leaking again, the same day the incident happened my tire pressure gauge came on. So in the apex of the turn, these good ole' VA roads, there was a huge bump in the asphault, and that is what knocked the tire off the rims and spun me out of control

 

Right when it happened i knew something wasnt right b/c i've never felt my tC like that before, it was so unresponsive, i had no control over it at all. Even the cop knew right away what happened when he saw my tire and the skid marks. So i didnt get a ticket, the only thing he did was call a tow truck.

 

WEll make sure to contact Reggie and send him pics and he can replace the damaged Turbonetics parts for you....um yeah free of charge too. Gotta love that no fault no hassle warranty..

 

No way, free? Not because of an accident?!

 

+1 for Turbonetics!
What other company does that????

 

no other company does that...it's a wonderful type of warranty. I remember when i was at the TC day at turbonetics...they had said, "even if you bring it back in a million pieces...if it's still within the allotted warranty time, we'll replace it...NO QUESTIONS ASKED!" again...I'm glad you're all ok and i'm sorry about the car.. also, what kind of tires were they just out of curiosity?

 

Free, no fault no hassle. Of course they need to see pics of the wrecked car to make sure you arent just trying to piece together a kit fr a buddy but yeah. Even if you wreck it, they replace it free. So again to the OP I am sorry for your less but be assured Turbonetics will take care of their damaged parts free of charge..
