First the bag of cement, now tread separation... What will it think of next?

Why, yes, that is the wiring harness, thank you for asking...

*HaLo* · 09-24-2004, 06:53 PM

Could you explain what happened there? How did it happen?

thread seperation?

KA24DESOneThree · 09-24-2004, 06:56 PM

Tread separation is when the tread separates from the carcass and then whacks things REALLY hard.

My condolences, Chokudori.

*HaLo* · 09-24-2004, 07:04 PM

Thanks KA24DESOneThree!!

Wow... That's a lot of damage... Sorry to hear/see that.

Ritz S14 · 09-24-2004, 07:17 PM

Major suckage. Hope it wont take you too long to repair the fender/harness.

FRpilot · 09-24-2004, 07:54 PM

did you not tighten all the bolts on the fender? the 2 near the door and the 2 below the car?

Um... The tire lashing at the fender at 85mph kinda negated any and all bolt tightening.

damn, condolences to you and your car. how effed up is the harness? i think i might know someone that's selling a left fender for cheap, he got in a right hand side collision, so it's still good. pm me if you're interested.

nissantuner22 · 09-24-2004, 09:28 PM

EXACT thing happened to me, but on my rear driver side quarter panel. its taken out!

Ah man, perfect! I'm right by you in Silverlake!

That really blows. As long as you are find that is the most important thing. Hope the car doesn't go crazy again.

jjwilks240 · 09-25-2004, 10:54 AM

i do that to my rears all the time, ive ripped the plastic cover holding the filler neck off, and put holes in 1/4 pannel from it

Got Sileighty? · 09-25-2004, 01:59 PM

thats not a big deal. you can fix all of that with the money you saved on buying used shitty tires from mexicali.

SimpleS14 · 09-26-2004, 08:06 PM

bag of cement? damn...sorry that happened to your car. Was the tire rubbing against anything before this happened?

jjwilks240 · 09-26-2004, 11:39 PM
