well, this is what happens when you get cocky around a corner, try to countersteer and leave your foot on the accelerator. idiot me, i could have avoided the damn median, had i put my foot on the brake.
oh well, you live and learn right?
that 5 point harness saved my ***, ill tell you that much.
the unibody is bent, blew my front illumina, destroyed BOTH endlinks, dtss eliminator torn in half, hub assembly torn in half, wheels and tires toast, and control arm bent.
hm, anything else? just check the pics.











**** happens right? i walked away with a tiny scratch on my face from the damned A pillar trim piece falling.

peace

 

Guess you can handle theese roads

redwood road (moraga to hayward) average speed: 65
mines road (livermore to san jose) average speed: 50

better than a slow corner, huh?

 

ohhh dammm man, i know your hating yourself on that one.

 

Bending up your suspension is not totaling your car.

Get the parts from a junk yard, and get a quote on straitening the body.

 

failed dorifto

that sucks man sorry to hear it.

 

Oh no

 

get her fixed and don't be stupid. Be glad it was a minor accident.

 

Is it me or that mostly superficial, replacable parts?

straightening + you replacing whatever parts that are torn up and that car will be right as rain

But yeah, you're probably right that financially, it's most likely totalled.

 

Ouchy... That looks like it hurt a little... Drifting FTL.. :-(
Sorry man... that sucks. It was a gtu too...
Looks as though there is frame damage from teh ripples on the roof... part it out and get another... it would probably be repairable with enough time and money...

 

get an entire rear subframe,arm,diff hubs etc. If i this had been posted a month ago i would have had most everything you need. Get it fixed, the body is fixable too, not easily but it is.

 

from an insurance perspective, yea it is totaled, but you can fix that man! It'll buff out! lol.

 

wow, that sucks, that back wheel got it pretty bad, it looks like you got the hover conversion from back to the future... Good luck if you decide to fix it!

btw, good job texFCturboII at posting the obligatory it'll buff out, lol.

 

I'll take those mirrors, s5 tails, and front bumper please . Just kidding. I guess you could fix all that, but personally I'd part it out. It looks like the impact bent the roof section, like where that spot in the passenger side of the roof is. Was that already there? And what about the door? Did it bend that and the frame around that too? Sorry for your loss. It happens to all of us...

 

hey driftwerks, crawl under a rock and die.
no, the car is being chopped up and im using that shell that i had listed. my friend has a body shop out in san mateo that she could probably straighten out for me, but im too lazy to haul it out there.
so, i have some s4 taillights for sell, and ill have a whole part out asap.


peace

 

JdM DoRiFtO fail.

sorry to hear about that.

 

Are you in Concord/Walnut Creek? I was driving past you at a stop light in walnut creek in my black civic hatchback a few weeks ago. I was going to give you a thumbs up but you revved at me when I drove by.
Sucks about the car though!

 

Yeah....this is not the bizness right here. Pretty much gonna practice in my FC with lots of space, medians need not apply.

 

wait your mad AT ME??

haha you did that to yourself.

 

screw fixing it

just get another rolling FC shell with subframe and all that already intact. swap in your stuff, buy a few new parts, done

 

how much for your mirrors?? i want those badly

 

holy fack, you beat the **** out of that hub.

sucks, but at least it wasn't worse...and it's probably worth the lesson you learned. Hope you fix it.

 

dood man its not totalled, it fixable. take it to a body shop. i work at a autobody shop, and we get cars waaayy worse than that , so so bad that have to cut the whole car in half and weld on another. its fixable!!!!

 

i know its fixable, the subframe in the back is bent, the lateral link is like...........jesus.
anyways, the front unibody is bent, i understand its fixable, im not going to try.
i have a spare shell sitting on the side of the house, straight as an arrow, and the fenders arent fucked up :p.
besides a small ripple in the rear by the lights, its perfect.
and its a t2, power everything, so it will be easy. plus, i can chop up this car to get to stuff now. haha
basically, im not terribly distraught about this whole ordeal, i just need to not rely on 1 car, back to the Z project.
anyone know how to make an aluminum dash without a welder?
and yes, i do live in concord, all my friends are in WC, so im around alot.

oh, and i wasnt drifting, just taking a turn as fast as i normally do, i had just woken up.

peace

 

nvm

 

lol? S5 GTU was just a base model piece of crap.
