alright heres the story my moms beamer is in the shop... and she decided to use my car for the day.. ok no problems... then i come home around 4:30 to see a tow truck backin my integra into the garage... at first i thought the passenger cv went out cause i knew it needed to be replaced i was like ok no big deal.. so i look under the car and cv is fine but the oil pan seems extremly low to the ground... then i notice the driver side cv is demolished.. wtf?? so i pop the hood and see my driver side motor mount hanging there and my motor has a massive tilt... turns out the bolt the holds the motor mount to the block snapped off and drop the motor on the cv... now im assuming all other motor mounts are gonna be bent to s**t and i have half a bolt flush into my block... how am i supposed to go about getting that bolt out... hell where am i even supposed to start???
Anyone got any advice besides scrappin the whole car cuz thats about where im at right now???????????

how did this happen? did your mom hit something?

 

She said i didnt do anything i was drivin down the freeway and heard a clickin... ya right... i mean id really like to hear the whole story cause i know that just doesnt happen for no reason

 

Well to remove the broken bolt out of the block it's a matter of drilling a hole into it and breaking it up. But the question is do you have to basically pull the whole engine to get access to that mount and the other possibly bent mounts?

 

well ya i know have to pull the motor for sure... its just so much work to think about right now and plus all the money im gonna have to dump into it...

 

Your mom broke it so she should pay for it.

 

What year is the car?

 

its a 96 with a 98+ conversion....

 

Can you post pics?

 

yeah ill get some pics up on here by tonight

 

I would also like to see some pics if you could post 'em.

 

ya ill get on it...

 

Is the motor swapped in?

I ask because several things come to mind: First, you have three main motor mounts and two lower torque mounts. Assuming the drivers side upper motor mount failed, the lower motor mount should have supported the engine enough to not let it fall. Secondly, the bolts dont fail. Almost never, so if the motor was swapped there was a possibility that the wrong bolts were used or not torqued correctly.

Anyways, you need to get your engine back up and get everything aligned. Stick a floor jack under your block and lift it back up. If possible, reinstall your motor mounts and figure out what went wrong.

That's a good idea.

 

its the stock motor... never been swapped motor didnt fall all the way onto the ground but it definitly has a massive angle on it right now its sloped down to the right side really bad and my battery is drained so i dont know if they tried to start it a billion times or what

 

98+ front end? Why? Car hit in the front? I'll assume it was hit and when it was it probably cracked the motor mount/block/bracket then and it finally gave way while your mom was driving it down the road.

My guess is, if the wreck was bad enough to bust the windshield, blow the airbag, it also did chassis damage and SHOULD have been totalled out at that point....and instead you put your moms life at risk. What if the axle bound up and caused the car to pull hard to one side and hit something? Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesnt look like it.

shell pull some bs like "i raised you" and say you fix it lol

 

car wreck was at like 10mph dont think thats the case

 

i see the small pics but when u click to make them bigger it shows noting

 

i have no idea how this cuda happened what i think might of happned was a mount was loose or bolt missing or something like that and in matter of time it went out on your mom or she hit something hard?? is car low??? maybe your mom doesnt want to tell you something

 

ya i know theres apart of the story that im not hearing but... all in all im just looking to see if this is even worth tryin to fix or should i just pick up another dc or eg hatchback shell and go from there

 

sorry the pics suck i used a camera phone and i dont know how to resize it

 

Does it look like any part of the engine has been dented really badly? Hard to tell from the pics.

 

Man that's some bad damage there

 

If that happened while driving highway speeds, I don't see how it wouldn't have end up wrecked into a wall or something.
