Last night it was pouring raining, black ass roads, and I thought I had turned into the turning lane of an intersection, but it ended up being a U turn lane. I was slowing turning into the lane and I noticed there was a cement median. Unfortunately my first thought was there was there shouldn't be a median there:no:, then i ran the median over with the drivers side of the car

I knew my front tire was gone instantly the rears questionable. Everything else seemed bad at the time. I pulled over to the gas station next to the turning lane. Got out of my car and saw freakin oil leaking under. Turned the car off instantly. The leak stopped after I turned the car off.

Left the car at the gas station allday and got towed it back with the F250 and my cousins car trailer

Got home, lifted all four wheels on jackstands and discovered this

The car survive it, no damage to the motor mounts, engine, transmission, transmission mounts, cv axles, radiator, front bumper nothing, I was amazed. The car still drives just leaks oil. The car has well over 300k on most of the parts in the car.

The gasket to the oil pan collapsed under pressure and the upper oil pan cracked a lil. Other than the obvious rim damage that was it. This car is freakin sturdy as hell. Of course I haven't removed the oil pan yet to check the real damage, which ill do after finals.

A chunk of metal was actually ripped from idk what that is really

Plans on fixng?
*take the oil pan out, check it up and down
*weld the upper pan if I can
*change out the gasket
*bolt the pan back on and hope is doesnt leak anywhere else.
*change out my springs in my coilovers from supra tts, to hypercoils,
*the car will be garaged and worked on for the winter, so lots of things if money allows
*2uz bottom end maybe?

I do need a diagram to the upper and lower oil pans on a 95 sc400

actually this is the second time i've done this in the same car, along with the other stuff thats extremely questionable. The car has proven how sturdy it can be

and I question the same thing all the time

Sucks man. My car is stuck on the side of a hill right now. The roads are iced so we're going to get it first thing in the morn... I just hope no one plows into it coming down the hill before I get a chance to go retrieve my property.

Good luck getting everything back together.

that sucks, I was in a huge rush to get my car today before it got too cold or dangerous to retrieve her. The idea of the F250 and a big trailer and a 4000 pound car strapped to it scares me,
shes safely in my garage now though

GL getting your car,


g/l on your plans

thanks

Has anyone tried wheel wizards? imma call them tomorrow and see if i can get the rims fixed

Much appreciated.... My nerves are on end. It's only about a mile away from here but if it gets hit all I have in minimum coverage. It will be home in 6 hours with a little luck though.

I wonder if poor tires contributed to this accident?

just called they can fix them for $140 a wheel

eh maybe I had two sets of 18s on the car before and these 19s fill the gap very nicely,


I wonder if poor tires contributed to this accident?

I didnt exactly try to brake, plus im running stretched 35s. unless I had my stock 16s the rim would of been bent reguardless


Hope u get ur car back on the streets soon!!

the sc will be back, probably after winter I dont like driving this car in winter, no traction control + rwd + ice did not work well for me last year
