It was raining yesterday and I took a wide turn at 40 mph and the car just hydroplained right into the curb.


y-pipe is damaged

 

bro sorry to hear..keep ya head up....

 

That sucks. Everybody OK I assume?

Are you going to do the repairs yourself? Looks like a good time for some aftermarket wheels.

 

Yep, my dad is doing all the work for me, should be running again by this week, I found the part for $35 on www.car-part.com, then i need an alignment.

Everyone was ok, luckily we missed the on coming truck, that would have been a sad sad day

 

why were you corning 40mph? do u have any suspension mod? wat kinda tires are u running? i'm not tryin to be offensive here but i just hope that u'll know your car's limit better so u won't get into somethin like this again...

don't worry, everyone makes mistake. i hydroplaned and crashed before as well. good luck with your car

 

rubber looks preety thin man.. hope you get it running again soon.

 

wow! defintely time for aftermarket rims and tires!

sorry to see your max hurt though

 

Yeah, my lesson is learned here, I have sprint springs/KYB AGX, Factory Toyo tires which have close to 1% tread remaining. New rims and tires are coming soon.

 

at least throw some pep boys rubber on there

 

could have been worse .. glad your ok

 

pick up a FSTB from ebay for quick suspension aid, then of course the RSB

 

Looks like you went 4x4 for a bit there...

 

wow
i never saw a stock rim get dismantled like that

sorry to hear

 

wow...time to upgrade those rims..sorry to hear about the accident but get new tires BRO!

 

Sorry to hear about the accident - and glad you're ok . . but if you drive on tires like that in the rain, you MUST go extremely slow. Once you get some new tires it should feel like a whole new car, riding on bald tires suck.

 

That looks painful, best of luck on fixing it.

 

looks like you have slicks on there... sucks though

 

time for some rain tires..

 

Well I ordered the control arm yesterday, it arrived and was installed today, new SE rim, also put in new y-pipe gaskets, and now im awaiting an alignment.

It feels great to have my car back!

 

Sorry to hear the bad news. But check out your tires you barly got any tread on them, im sure you were ice skating.

 

did that too in my old car.....only thing i can say is....LIVE & LEARN!

i did

 

is it just me, or is the bottum of that car filthy? looks like it's been sitting at the bottum of the ocean for a few years. is that dirt and stuff from after you hit the curb or ?


sorry to read about your accident, goodluck fixing her up nice again!

 

Been there done that ...... I bent my axle and crushed oil pan etc. Hit curb at over 70 mph though. My 19 inch wheel blew up !

 

The underside is just dirty because the car momentarily drove through some wet grass/mud.

Yikes, and I thought 40mph was scary!
