Car comes back tomorrow! :D

Post by David A »

Yeah...it was broken...now it is fixed...YAYER!

Here's what happened...

So, guys...I guess after reinforcing pretty much everything else possible on the car this was the last thing that could possible go - and it went - big time.

Here are some pictures of the rear trailing arm mounts on the driver's side and the passenger side...

The pictures show that my driver's side is still fine and that it's perfectly normal while the passengers side is torn out completely.

My questions for you guys - who makes the reinforcement plates (that I have read about) for the mounts (tubes) and where can I buy them from? I'm gonna check on TMS and Bimmerworld (the usual sites) but I just figured I'd post here FOERST incase there's someone who has had firsthand experience with this.

I'm thinking that I'm going to have to reweld it and then put the reinforcement plates over the patched area...

Anyway...here are the pictures of the carnage. :(

Driver's side...normal.

Anyway...I missed the damn Ter-Tech IRL demo qualifier...:(

Oh well...there's always next year, right?
