I'll gladly take any advice as to what may need to be replaced or checked - as you can see the intercooler pipes and pump need replaced.

Thankfully I have good insurance. BTW, I had my Predator in the car and my IAT2s went up to 214:uh oh: But the coolant temp never went above 200. I babied it home.

Wow that must of been a big piece of wood!
I say a new front bumper, fog light, and pipes and you'll be good to go.

GOOD POINT! - I would have driven - at least briefly - with no air filter and couldv'e sucked up a stone into the intake.

make sure you go to a shop with a good paint matching system!! Don't try to use just a pre-made can of DSG from Ford!

Life is too short for cheesy insurance. Glad you have good coverage.

mrose75 · Jun 20, 2007

Damn, WTF happened. I mean obviously you hit a chunk of wood, but how? See, this is why I am for deforestation of the planet. Tree are killing our Terminators!!!

oke: I hope you get her fixed up good as new. And it's a DSG....:nonono: :nonono:

That sucks man. I had nearly the same thing happen except with a blown out rig tire. New bumper cover, fog light, fog light bezel, the trim piece on the bottom, and paint.

I got everything from Steve at Tousley ford. Good luck

CobraBob · Jun 20, 2007

Heck. Buff the scratches out, bolt everything back up and call it a day. LOL! Seriously, that is a pretty big set of injuries to your Cobra. So how exactly did this happen? Was there a 2X4 laying in the road? How fast were you going when you hit it?

Be sure the estimator gets a good look at the damage. Unless he's partially blind you should be fine with the repairs. Could have been a lot worse. Post some after-repair pics if you can.

Not that bad. front facia, heat exchanger plumbing + ?
BTW, the tubes are for the heat exchanger, Intercooler is under the hood.

I can't see the pic's from work, but it sounds like to me it looks like something broke on your supercharger and it needs to be replaced with a KB.

CobraBob · Jun 20, 2007

Better yet Kenny, the car is really totalled and is worthless. But not to worry. I'll gladly come on down and relieve him of that totally worthless Cobra. My favorite color, too! It will do just fine in my garage. LOL!

Getting the itch again Bob?
:-D

gmynko · Jun 20, 2007

What happened (I think): I was on I-15 behind an SRT-8 of all things which went over this piece of wood. That car caused the wood to lift or move and when I came by it clipped the front end. Beyond that, I'll let you guys be the accident reconstructionists. The end of the intercooler pump has a chunk of wood embedded in it.

Oh, I was going the speed limit.;-)

gotboost03 · Jun 20, 2007

Sorry to hear that. Shouldnt be a problem to get it all fixed up again. Good luck and glad it wasnt any worse then it is

FlaSeaDude · Jun 20, 2007

It's obvious that you'll need a new front bumper cover. While you have the old one off, you might as well go ahead and install a twin-turbo setup...:-D

Rob04SVT · Jun 20, 2007

I don't know if i'm the only one who thought this, but I think you may have discovered the easiest way to install a JLT CAI.
My god was that thing a PITA.

Agreed! Kill the trees! They will not take another of our own.
