Hey, problems already (crashed, engine damage?)
Hey recent RX8 owner, and unfortunately I had an animal run out in front of me, and caused me to swerve and I ended in up a ditch full of mud, which thankfully, kept the car in remarkably decent condition.
What I know so far:
Air bags didnt deploy
front bumper is salvageable
engine was flooded, and cleared out and now runs, however it now smokes
one rear strut punched through mounting
I am mostly concerned with the tailpipe smoking. When I crashed, the car I dont think anyway, didnt stall, however I do remember a bunch of smoke from under the hood, which I assume came from the engine and header being immersed in cold wet mud. Im going to post this in the Series I troubleshooting, however I needed to post once more in order to post in that Topic.
Any advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
