when things go wrong

Last Saturday i decided to take some pics of my car and upload them hire, after that i went for a small trip, the whether was nice so i picked my car and started driving nowhere as always<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" oreferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/> </v:formulas> <vath o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:12pt; height:12pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_im age001.gif" o:href="http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.6speedonline.com/get/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]-->

After a few minutes it started to rain so bad, i could barely see outside, i started driving home when under a small bridge i drove into water 7-10cm . The car was going like a soap falling in the bath, i was going like 50-60km/h and i was all over the place. I drove over the hump on the side of the road and destroyed all wheels,tires,front bumper,side skirts, part of the radiator.

Today i took the car to my Porsche dealer and decided to order the followings:
  • Techart suspension with nose lift
  • Techart body parts
  • Gemballa 20'' wheels matte black with nickel lip (again)<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_i1026" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:12pt;height:12pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_im age002.gif" o:href="http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.6speedonline.com/get/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
  • Tyres
Tomorrow i'll be sending my turbos to Protomotive for some make up<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_i1027" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:12pt;height:12pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_im age002.gif" o:href="http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.6speedonline.com/get/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--> together with the ECU and TCU.

I have decided to make it better than before and i will. I tried to upload some pics but for some reason I cannot.

(Sorry for the language)<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="_x0000_i1028" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:12pt;height:12pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_im age003.gif" o:href="http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.6speedonline.com/get/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Yikes !! Well you are tuning the negative into a positive and that sounds like a great move based on what you described .

I wish you the best with your upgrades.
