Bent control arm, bent tie rod, bent strut tube, bent lip, fucked up is lip... Possibly more damage. We'll see tomorrow

Welcome to the club: mine was 3 years ago except rear end. Bent subframe, bent wheel, bent trailing arm, destroyed CV joint, bent axle. No body damage besides the black valence (which were a dime a dozen) and the diff mount that got push to the left by an inch.

Mine only had Basketweaves though...















I was trina imprez mah friend and I poped my tire

[Steven]

is there a possibility of my frame being tweaked? Is there a way to tell? If it is I don't think I'll be able to keep the car...

Dont be a pansy

I smashed my front end and I kept the car; my damage was way more extensive than yours requiring pulling and rewelding of a new support.

To be frank, its hard to tell; unless you hit the frame as well, the shock tower could have sustained minimal if not, non-existent damage. It looks like the wheel + steering/suspension system took the brunt of the impact, but there is still that possibility that the strut tower was damaged if the strut assembly was bent. You wont be able to tell unless you get new parts in there or at least post pictures up of the strut towers and surrounding affected areas

Fix it and mob it. I seriously doubt it'd be more than a $500 if that. (youre not getting any new parts, engine, engine-work, etc.) New wheel (or just replace the lip) + strut, etc. might add to that cost, but it beast trying to find a buy, loosing money on the sell, and starting over from scratch on a crappy clapped out CL e30

I fixed my smashed iS for less than $1500



Or work out a trade to Erix

Drifting into a curb

Bro, you still going to Mars Hill or did they move again?

Sorry to hear about your car. The first diagram says it's meant for both sedans and convertibles, so hopefully it'll give you a ballpark as to whether the frame is tweaked:

bro i dare you to do that to your m3.

Steven, baby cakes. all you need to do is replace the contol arm and tie rod. it'll be fine. i did that same thing 6 years ago to my red car. easy fix but costs $200 in parts + rim.

Come tonight to the meet

I will find the nearest parking lot light and attempt to drift my automatic open diff only to smash dead center into the pole

[mbonanni]

Did you just say your m3 is auto and has an open diff, or just referring to how you smashed your coupe?

[bastianshaw]

who wants to help me convert my power top to manual sometime

Referring to the infamous eta "drifting" in empty parking lot at night and hitting pole video that went viral on r3v about a year ago

[mbonanni]

Oh, yeah. Didn't even think of that.

[kronus]
