Not really sure, I've been chassing that clicking sound all season. Started end of last year. I _think_ it might be a torn torque box now, if so, and it let go mid corner it would explain why my super stunna drift went so bad.
I'm fine, the passenger airbag went off (didn't have the driver side in, thank good). My seats/harnesses did the trick, no part of my body slammed into anything hard. Seats kept me from flopping around and the harness's kept me in said seat. Now that I've been through this, it is even more important that those running fast cars/in the advanced group NEED roll bar/seats/harnesses, it just becomes one of those 'must haves'.
I'm going to price out fixing this mess up, depending on the total I may scrounge up a 99-04 shell, gut it, send it down to piper for a full cage then swap my drivetrain/suspension over to it and ditch this body. Either way, a full cage is going in the car before I got out again. It could have been A LOT worse. With the wet grass I didn't want to cut the wheel to much for fear of flipping.
