WOW, I would be calling him up for money right away... what a dick.. "Here's your car bro" and that's it?? If that was me and I messed up I'd have it fixed, detailed, and perfect before I gave it back... You need new friends

Well here's the thing. The next day after he dropped the car off i started to get traction control / abs codes. The code was for RR sensor fault. so after a couple weeks of resetting i decided to take a look at the sensor and i saw the wire was frayed , so when i took the tire off to fix the wire i saw that tube for the first time. Since i fix the wire i don't have anymore codes popping up. So what ever this is for it's not setting off any codes. Or i might have to go through so many cycles to set a code but so far nothing. I put over hundred miles already. Here's where i found the stuff. It's in front of the rear tire. Since the liner is gone i stuck my hand down in the rocker and pulled that stuff out. I was looking for mabey a hose or somtehing that could shine light on where that tube connected to. But i just found the damaged parts.

The inner liner is gone. Its wide open. If there was something there it's all wiped out. Where is that canister located??

As long I'm not getting any codes I'm going to leave it. Already been through 2 tanks of gas and nothing is showing up. And car is over 1000 hp. As long as no codes pop up I'm good with it. But in the mean time I'm going to try and find the parts. Another thing is I'm not getting any gas smell. Maybe it's because I'm running E85.

Well I found out what happened. Friend took my car for a drive and he said he was in a tight left turn and went over a big dip in the road and it tore the inner liner out. So he removed what ever was left and didn't tell me. My tires rubbed because it's tubbed and have big DR's on it. So I have no clue what components, where they are located or what they look like.
Does anybody have pictures of what it looks like??? I searched but couldn't find anything.

He payed and was sorry. He new he did wrong. And he's buying me and the wife Lou Malnati's Pizza. Then he had the ***** to ask me to take my Harley out. I just laughed at him, he got the hint.
