RC Driving Style
Oh man.....I did it. I think I just broke my NTC3. During my idiotic driving, I did a side slam right into a stone bench a at local school playground. And I hit my car of the left side too. What I can see from the car is the the muffler's tip is completely bended and went in and not a lot of air comes out of it now. And the header is completely bended in about maybe 12 degrees. The car just shuts off after the hit, but I started it up with no problem. But the car seems to not be normal beacause it is louder, I can see bubbles in the fuel line to the carb (full tank). I pour all the fuel out of the car and along with it comes like a filter of some sort. And I still ran the car for 1/2 a tank even in this condition! :confused: (dohhh!). Can anyone tell me what should I replace? Or can I still run it like this? thx, Castrol
 
Well it sounds like the pipe and header got bent that will deffinatly change the sound of the car and will affect the performance. If it looks like that is all you did then just get a new pipe and header if you can't straiten them out probably 30 bucks for the both together for that AE. Next what poped out of the tank was your stone filter dont worry about it just install a inline filter and forget about it unless you can pop it back into the bottom of the tank where it goes.
Also you may not have to replce the pipe or the header you can pull them off and try straiening them back out. use like a wodden dowel rod and just try and bend and beat them back into shape. As far as internal damage not likely. X
 
Man....30 whole bucks! And I was gonna save up that money for the X-Factor that is coming out in about 2 weeks. Well...guess I should learn to drive better. Thx X
