Double KO?

 

I hit one a couple weeks ago that was already dead in the middle of the road. He was really big and my car is lowered a little. I didnt see it until the car in front of me (ford escape) went over it and then it dawned on me that I wouldn't be able to clear it. Couldn't do anything about it and just hit it dead center. It dragged a bit on the front bumper, then the trans cross-member and finally the rearend. No damage but it sure seemed like it should have done something. Sorry you werent so lucky

 

lmao same exact thing happened to me the other night, i pulled over to look for damage after smelling fried burgers coming from the car, i think it was the blood on the exhaust

 

I've based how much I can lower my car on the height of a normal adult dead possum.

 

Measuring what?
If you look under the X, clearance is already so little that I doubt you could clear a dead possum right now.
Your bumper may clear, but I don't know about the belly (under the engine/tranny)

With my Eibachs, I can't even stick my fist under there anymore.

 

The X clears a dead possum with no problem. The coupe cleared on last week but it looked small....or maybe a little flattened.

But you're right, bottom line is I'm not lowering my coupe at all. No coilovers. Next suspension mod will be Tokico D-spec shocks/struts with no change in ride height. Lower would be nice...until I needed to drive it.

 

Man, I had no idea about the washer res.. I am gonna get on it tomorrow and see if I can fix her. I will post some pics once done. Thanks for the info guys!

 

Looks like the only one lost was you considering you couldn't find the little F***er. Well it's not too bad so hopefully you get that fixed easily.

 

that should be a easy fixed when i use to have my lexus LS i got a raccoon stuck under my car and still alive and when i tried to get close it would start making this crazy sounds and then i try to poke it with a stick but it kept attacking the stick so finally since i had airbags on my ls i hop on the freeway and rode real low and finally he fell out from under and someone else ran over him lol

 

Ummm what???? Lol

 

Took it to the body shop today for a quick quote....FU@K that, they want over 500 to fix it...I am def gonna try this myself, just gotta find the time

 

Patience and a heat gun will do wonders for it. If it doesn't work, you can always go back to having it fixed at a shop.
