george_seamons Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 ...I'm guessing vtec kicked in (yo!) I jest. Looks painful dude, hope everybody involved is ok. Looks like its slid on its side/roof? At least its "only a piece of metal" (as annoying as it is to hear that when you spent a lot of time/money/effort on such a nice car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Haha, i guess it was run out of talent , and thinking back vetec may of actually kicked in at that point , lost the rear end , corrected it , fishtaled went up a curb, then went up a dropdown curb flipped me up , rolled it twice luckily I never hit anything considering I landed on the other side of the road, got out with a bruised left arm and 6 stiches in my right arm , I urge any of you who have a stripped out car to please put some form of door card on , I cut my arm on a screw cover , a nice round smooth cover which really opened my eyes up to be fair , considering in my 106 it was completely open with bits of sharp metal all over the place. Got to get selling what I can off the car now , don't have a clue what to get now , maybe go sensible , maybe buy a drift car , I even thought of getting another s2000 , shame I'm saving for a house next year so I can't see it being untill late feb untill I get something new with a 5k budget. I'm ok though lads, bit gutted that 9k has been lost but it's not the end of the world, least I'm alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm ok though lads, bit gutted that 9k has been lost but it's not the end of the world, least I'm alive. Could have been a lot worse, glad you're ok. It was a great car, but still just a car. Can't see form the pics but it looks like the safety features (whatever they are) kept your head in one piece? Came in here to post an update on the Die Hat Soup. Removed interior behind front seats, ordered a steering boss, two 190mm rally lamps with HID bulbs and new front Vredestein tyres. Rear Fuldas seem to have a lot of meat on them so no need yet. Holes bunged up with fiberglass and cards, installed a really pro strut brace. Car caught fire a few times but it's ok. Kind of reminds me of this... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone says that if you own an S2000 for long enough it'll bite you. Unlucky mate, glad you're OK. Looks like a nasty one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Anybody had any experience with these? You drive on like a normal ramp but with all 4 wheels. The front pivots whilst you use a trolley jack to lift up the back to the same height. Once the heights right you put axle stands underneath and hey presto, decent access under the whole car link here for more details http://www.carlift-ramp-mr1.com/ Seems just the ticket for me as I can't afford proper ramps nor do i have enough roof height and these look easy and cheap enough to build myself. Would save so much time jacking up the car in the workshop! I also need some new ramps as i can't get my car up mine, even with the bumper off the space is super tight.....

Luke Rainbird Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Looks like an effective solution, and one that wouldn't be too much of a PITA to replicate either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) I have plenty of steel to make it just need the main lengths, got the rest! I just need to make it long enough for my camper/pick up to get on! I will go for beefier steel than what the company have used...look at the bow in the photo I put up The other option is those see saw designs, but I think I prefer this, I can also make different ends for different heights/angles depending on the vehicle going on Haha, Dan thats the only reason I want it...

RobinJI Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Looks like a nice solution, should be a much shallower angle than a see-saw one for the same height, and you get better access from the sides. The only think I'd immediately change about it is the bit the Jack goes under, as if you can get a jack under it, you won't get a low car's sump/front lip over it. My first thought would be to make it fairly thin and pivoting, so it lies flat while you drive over it, then you pivot it up 90deg to get the jack under it, but I guess the easier option would just be to make it removable.

Revolver Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 If it's custom, make it so the pivots and the axle stands bits go under the wheels, that'd help the bowing. Probably you thought of that already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Can you really patent that? I mean its hardly that complicated. I never thought of it, and I've chopped up so much perfect material for such a device (ladders made of angle iron and such) in my time! >< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) You could make a right posh weight weenie one out of ally checker plate, if you know someone good enough at welding ally.
