i'm a fucking idiot

[zandi]

yes, i dont need to hear it. i was getting on the freeway on the onramp and decided to push it to the limit, anyways, im going up on a ramp, turning right really fast, and im starting to lose control so i attempt to slow down, should have remembered the anti-lock light was on, wheels locked up and it smashed my left wheel into the curb really hard, the valanece is smashed in, along with the wheel which suffered heavy curb scraping. A bent control arm and a severed trailing arm. my iS lip is in perfect condition along with its splitter thank god, the left fender has what looks like a small ding, i'd get some pictures up but i dont have a ride home for nowl, a no one is selling a beater for 800 around here.

ok, flame time? :(

I hope this is good, I need a whole replacement anyways:

I hope that is good,

Also anywhere know where I can get a good steering rack?

brakes in the middle of a corner (esp. when you're already losing it) = death.

I'm kinda curious about the average age of people who keep wrecking their cars here. 17-18?

The funny thing is instead of tihnking, shit i should be more careful...i think...damn i should have had treehouse bushings, a LSD, and steering rack in better condition

18, only time I fucked up an E30 was hitting a deer. That doesn't really count.

if you damaged your car while losing control, that sure sounds like a wreck to me...

Just gotta be more careful. I learned my lesson when I slid a 180 in the middle of an intersection over a year ago, and found myself BUMP the TIRE of a 2000 Durango.

Yes, just a tire. That's it. I lucked out BIG TIME. But it taught me a lot. I'm a lot more careful now if there's traffic around, or in the wet. I also only push the care when it's safe and prudent. Such as dry, known road, autocross...you catch my drift.

Sucks to hear what happened though...


But, regarding those parts, I wouldn't skimp on them. Call BMA, have them Pricematch EA4PARTS.com for Lemfoerder control arms and tie rods. Then get some treehouse bushings, and check your subframe too!

i have a line on a good used stearing rack with no leaks...but im in CA....

oh yeah, wheres the pics at???

[zandi]

steering rack, im in CA too, in Los Angeles though, would you be willing to ship, SF is kinda far? Give me a price!

no pics now because i live in calabasas, and im in LA right now with friends...25 miles, my houseis in the middle of shitwhere so no one is willing to drive

I'll look into those treehouse bushings, I hear a lot about them? What do I really need to get a good balance of caster. my current suspension mods are H&Rs, bilsteins, and sparco strut bar but the steering feels unresponsive to the wheels

[trent]

steering feels unresponsive to the wheels

Caster won't help that then. :)

I've got trailing arms, front struts, and a rear subframe for sale if you want, and I'm in San Diego.
