Roman Report post Posted June 11, 2012 Damn. The impact broke the caliper in half! Forget the caliper... Id say the front axle is in several more pieces than were originally designed... He bent both wishbones, and broke the drive axle for the wheel to get that much cant... Is this another case of "Just because you can afford it doesn't mean you should have it" !!?? From the look of the damage, Id say he was the one who got tagged.... The damage was definitely coming from the drivers side, which means he was either offset T-Boned, or he lost control in a counter clockwise spin, and hit something- But not a curb, which is what you would expect in a flat spin like that... Whatever it was, was elevated enough to hit the wheel above the centerline, but not tall enough to damage the fender... Which appears to be unscathed.... All the damage appears to be to the front cowl and the suspension... Really unusual damage pattern... Id be curious to hear what it was. [edit]- Im going to revise this... I think he spun, hit a curb, and the direction the wheel is canted is an artifact of how it was moved by the wrecker after the crash.

cake Report post Posted June 11, 2012 Damn. The impact broke the caliper in half! To me it looks like the caliper may be intact (although in the wrong place on the wheel) - but the rotor is definitely broken into at least two pieces. Is it that hard to break a rotor? I know they chip easily and always assumed they could break rather easily under the "right" stress. The front of the caliper appears to be whole but maybe it separated from the back half (is that what you mean?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placid Report post Posted June 11, 2012 Is it that hard to break a rotor? I know they chip easily and always assumed they could break rather easily under the "right" stress. I think carbon ceramic rotors are more brittle than steel rotors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Report post Posted June 12, 2012 I think we're missing some close up photos... Look at the rear wheel.... It also looks overly canted, but the OPPOSITE direction of the front, and there is some body damage along that fender as well... Now look at the roof.... im not sure if thats just an optical illusion caused by the light, but I think I see a bow down the center of the roof near the rear.... If so... Frames fucked.

Cabbe Report post Posted June 12, 2012 Now look at the roof.... im not sure if thats just an optical illusion caused by the light, but I think I see a bow down the center of the roof near the rear.... If so... Frames fucked. Doesn't the car have a crease in the roof? I mean in the design of the car. I think the roof is supposed to look like that.
