    Accidentally jumped my CB today

    Across a 50ft intersection....

    I was coming up on an intersection, light turning yellow not too far ahead. My buddy says "go for it" so i do. i shift into second and punch it. not until i was right there did i realize that there was a steep incline, and a drop right after.

    I flew across more than half the intersection, hit the ground about 75% through and was already on the brakes when i landed and i slid close to 50ft to avoid hitting a truck that was stopped down the street.

    I quickly pulled into the parking lot of the church/bank thing down the road and got out to check everything.

    No lip, caved in downpipe, dented my oil pan, and scraped(possibly bent) my cross member. Don't know if it was just the cross member, but i think i may have shifted part of the frame back a few cm also.

    Now i may need a cross member, i need front tires, an alignment, a header set, and i need to check my frame on the driver side.

    I have pics of the car, luckily the worst of it is the tires. i don't think the frame is bent, but i know my alignment is off. I may need to take off my oil pan and straighten it because i think the dent in it separated part of the edge enough to cause a VERY subtle leak.

    I didn't get pics of the road because i went back with a different vehicle, but i have pics of some of the damage.

    cross member





    Down pipe



    Tire. you can easily see the uneven wear from the slide.



    and this is my tie rod(i think)


    Not sure if it is bent factory like that or if it is damaged at all. i don't think it is, but i figured i would get a second opinion.

    Ill get pics of the road tomorrow. tire marks are 50ft long and i saw some gouges in the road.

    This baby took her self a beating. i felt sooo bad. i can;t believe i forgot about the big ass dip.

    But i grabbed the legend lip that fell off. On a side note, right before this happened, my driver caliper was acting up. and that needs to be replaced as well. pads are wearing uneven.

    Ill update this with more pics and more info on damage. should be good as new in a week or so.

    That's the radius rod and it's possible that it's bent but it doesn't look like it in the pics. They do have slight bends to them from the factory.

    At least tell me you had fun lol

      It probably isnt. the alignment isn't off by much at all. just have a flat spot on my tires.



      and only when i realized how much air i had and for how long. this was later in the night when i went back.


      i can't believe i slid that far. i hit around 7k in second. thats almost 60. flew 25ft across and slid almost 50.

      If i would have gotten out without hurting my CB it would have been my best in-car moment. My friend was actually saying we need to carry around a video cam when i drive around.

          i had a little dent from normal driving at stock height. doesn't matter now. i think the piping cracked.

            i know going airborne for a while gave you an "oh shit" moment for a minute. Hope the cb isn't damaged too bad when you check it out

                  worst case is the frame at the cross member. but it would only be a few mm.... nothing serious. i drove it another 20 miles to get home and the only thing that worried me was the frame, and the bump. from the tire.

                  But luckily, i think my ALUMINUM rims aren't bent.

                  you have to feel it. it's a 1/4 inch deep. and now when i get after burn from VTak i can hear it pop from the front instead of the back.

                  HAHA.... i know i thought about the people in the intersection. I imagine a scene from FnF where they are chasing the dirt bikes..... just CB7 cool. not rice supra cool.

                  and i would have loved to have been the next general lee......

                        Happening ASAP. my buddy is a master tech at a firestone so he is going to check the alignment for me and see whats up

                        i did have that WTF moment. then i pointed the finger at my friend(like a bro) and said it was his fault for peer pressuring me. Deep down, i think he knew.

                              A little catchier, less to the point. and i don't smoke so it didn't pop into my head.

                              Wow i know. next time ill be ready with a rally suspension and bigger tires. and an empty road. You tube fame here i come.


                              and if anyone has a driver side front caliper, pm me. even if i need to get a set. i just need a new one. and are the nissin and akebono calipers the same overall? could i use either or with what i have? Or can the prelude VTEC calipers bolt right up?
