this is why you don't put a jackstand under your floorboard :)

The previous owner of my latest 240 ( 5th one lol...) got the bright idea to jack up the car and put the jack stand on the back of the wheel well right beside the ECU! It punched through the floorboard and ripped the ECU off its mounts, bent it all to crap and demolished the blower motor assembly. All the metal is there so I'm pretty confident I can fix it up as good as new again, no real damage to the frame at all. BTW Anyone know what that smaller computer in the picture is?

if it's an auto i'd say it's the tcu, or transmission control unit.

its 5 speed. I'm thinking along the lines of cruise or climate control, neither worked. belive it or not the car drives great when the ECU is plugged in.

Yeah thats either the crusie control unit or something equally important to the function of the car.
It's not the seatbelt control unit, I remember thatone under the center arm rest.

Looks like someone missed the target. By the way, how much did you pay to take that car off of their hands.

Oh... and looks like the only thing that car is good for now is drift or parts.

na dude thats nothing ..... its just sheet metal dude

RuizXIII 09-17-2007 09:47 AM

dude, dude....where's my car? lawlz

Yeah just cut that section out and replace with new sheetmetal. It probably won't be as stable as the original because it wont have the grooves and stamping in it, but it would be better than Flinstoning the car around town.

Is that other computer the power lock relay? I know its back there somewhere.

Good grief Charlie Brown!!!!:nono:

I don't think it has much to do with the structural soundness of the car. the plan right now is honestly some "hamma time" and then JB weld or bondo, if that doesn't line up then i'll get as close as i can and then weld something from underneath prolly. I've just got to get all the crap out of the way first!The whole cars got a lot wrong with it but the engine runs straight and its the first coupe I've had out of 5 S13s so definately going to give it a shot.

RuizXIII 09-18-2007 04:15 AM

Hey man go for it. Beat the **** outta it Clubber Lang style
