Preciate all the support guys. The way the brakes had been feeling yesterday it defintiely felt like there was some air in the line. First and foremost is a new oil pan so we can start car and see how it runs. Cross your fingers that the motor is fine.

Damn man that sucks to hear, makes my issues seem weak in comparison... Good luck on fixing it all and finding out what the cause of the lock up was.

I am still in shock. DJ left me a message last night with the results on the DJ. After 492whp on our DD, he did 540whp on the DJ, and was thrilled. Called him back just 8 mins later, and he proceeds to tell him that his car is in a ditch.

DJ, I have another intercooler kit here. With a little luck, you can probably get your car road worthy before ZDAYZ. Give me a shout!

Thanks Sharif for the help. I think ZdayZ is a no go for my car...but I'm trying to get a ride there. I have been planning on going for far too long not to go now.

Just took the front end off, need a new ac compressor as well as the parts listed on the first page.

Atleast you didn't get hurt. If the road is as busy as you say, you can't feel to bad about the condition of the car with all things considered. Hope you get your breaks figured out as to what that could have been.

Damn DJ that sucks man. Sorry for the mishap. And +1 on the brakes, did you figure out why they went. In my old car the brake lines were rubbing the rim and sure enough the same thing. Except I had enought brake to stop Fluid everywhere...

Damn, very sorry to hear about the damage but glad you're ok. ZDayZ would be therapeutic.

Air in the brake lines? What size wheel are you using? Do you think it might be the ABS thinking the wheels are are slipping due to over sized tires. Brakes just don't do that unless it was damaged on the dyno somehow. Really sucks...

Already posted in your other thread, and sorry again! I'm sure you'll find a ride, at least you better. Like Ron said, ZDayZ would be therapeutic, cause it won't be the same without you there.
