Car hit a curb....

You must be young. I'll have you know the first FRS was totaled because somebody disabled traction control. As a general rule, never turn off traction control unless you truly know what you are doing. IE plenty of AutoX. Your wheel is cracked, and the other one is bad rashed. Blinker smashed to. Its possible you could have frame damage with the wheel being off alignment and the fender being dented the way it is. But its totally possible you could have destroyed an ARM and thats why its off which would be a helluva lot better than being frame damage. Either way you're way over $500 damage. Call insurance, get your story straight and take it to the shop. I'd bet $2-$6k in damage.

I would take it to a body shop and have them put your car on a lift to check for any frame damage. That would be my main concern. You can find the left fender and side skirt on the forum for a few hundreds. The rims you can probably find them cheap on here as well, but definitely replace the tires asap.

Idk man, those doors are thin as hell. How deep the dent is I'd say theres probably frame damage. Keep us updated OP.

Yes I am a complete idiot and now I am in going through hell.

The money isn`t that much of an issue but what I`m worried about is damage beyond repair.

I suppose I will call some places first thing tomorrow morning. I can`t even drive it to work which is what worries me. I suppose it will have to get it towed out of my driveway.

If you cant control the wheel even when driving IE it twitches too much or too loosey goosey (if you know what I mean) your arm is done. If there is frame the insurance company is probably gonna total it and write it off. I would definitely say its repairable. You wont know until you have it at a shop though. Like a member said above, put it on the lift and find out.

The wheel is ok but its pointing to the right like you would turn it to make a right turn. Thats the wheels position. But when I used it to to pull into the drive way it was working just fine.

Theres a possibility the car is a write off... oh god.

How old are you?

And why in the hell would you try to drift in a neighborhood:confused:

And no you are not (DK) from F&F

and always remeber its up to you to stop Z abuse...:wtf2:

If it were me I would take it to the dealer or a good body shop.. Im guessing couple grand in damage...

kenchan 10-27-2015 06:15 AM

I'm wondering how the hell you were drifting with vdc turned on before the crash?

That was exactly my thinking :rofl2:

But I'm sure the OP wasn't even drifting. He was mostly likely power sliding :rolleyes:

Please don't practice losing control of your car on public roads no matter what time of day or night. Get some cones and go practice that $hit in a parking lot. Or as someone mentioned, go do some AutoX :driving:

Call your insurance and get the Z fixed through an approved body shop. Maybe best to say you hit a patch of black ice or an oil slick. Either way, don't admit to your foolishness. Then, hold on tight 'cuz your insurance company is gonna ride you hard. Your premiums are about to go through the atmosphere. Good luck.

he's canadian... if he has the re050a's on in the night with low single digits they are pucks.




where do i begin... oh jesus. you are so lucky the cops weren't called because you could have been charged for stunting and we all know how but hurt you would be.

but seriously it's cold out, your traction is not going to be optimal, and you're trying to do advanced driving with your mentally regressed brain. too bad money can't buy you smart.



take it to a shop/dealer. report it to your insurance, pay your deductible and enjoy a huge hike in your premium next renewal.
