Well, I purchased my Evo IX and it is now a wrecked Evo IX as of April 05, 2009. It happened on the freeway as I was driving behind my parents in the fast lane. They ran over a piece of metal in the road and kicked it up just enough for the wind to lift it up at windshield level of my Evo (winds are bad in the desert. I swerved into the emergency lane to miss and quickly back into the fast lane. The car started sliding (we were doing around 78 mph) when my girlfriend and I went across the freeway. What is frustrating is when I almost had control of the car again a Camry hit the back side of the Evo and I went of the enbankment and slid into a fence - hitting the fence caused most of the damage. My girlfriend and I are were fine and didn't have a scratch but, the Evo had quite a bit of damage on the front passenger side, scratches on the body, and the back bumper was damaged. The parts damaged that are related to the engine are the oil cooler, lower IC pipe, and intercooler. With 15,000 mi on the Evo IX I'm hoping I can sell the car for $10,000 since it runs, all the doors close and open as normal, here are the mods I have:
FP Green, HFS-1 water meth, tuned by Tuning Technologies, 3" downpipe, 3" exhaust, test pipe, ported manifold, cams (GSC S1), head studs, intake, GFB BOV, Turbo Timer, factory gauges, ACT clutch (brand new), 02 housing, and IC pipes.
What do you guys think?

if you wanna sell parts, ill take the intake (if it can be used with a recirculated BOV), the bov. I have a injen intake pipe (non recirculated) and a HKS BOV
Well, my brothers and I assessed the damage last night and found the following problems (some of them obvious..lol):
Front Bumper
Rear Bumper
Front Fenders
Hood
Intercooler
Lower IC Pipe
Oil Cooler
Rear Control Arm
There are scratched on the paint everywhere but, there aren't any major dents at all so I think I'm going to fix the car. If you guys have a stock intercooler or any of these other parts let me know. What is crazy is the report says my Evo was airborne for 20 feet off the enbankment and there no damage to the bottom of the car other than the undertray is gone.
Evo R.I.P.
