Car hit a curb....

vooshhz

Car is still at the mechanic, have yet to hear from him.

I'm going to be honest I've had the car for 3 months and I've treated it with alot of respect. Just one time I remember it was raining and I was making a turn and my back end slightly slided, and I curiously was trying to do the same last night, thinking if I turn off the traction control I'll have more of the glide... It all happened so quick in litteraly one second the car just went flying...

Having the shittiest day just hoping everything is cosmetic and nothing seriously got damaged...

Very disappointed in myself... worked really hard to get this car. Luckily I'm not in school at the moment working 60 hours a week so if the repair is 2-4k I can pay it off in less than a month.

Thanks for all of the advice guys

The situation really sucks.

Part of life is learning from good (positives) and bad (negatives) situations. Nice to see you are owning to your mistake and keeping a positive attitude. Hope things work out for you.

shouldn't have stopped respecting it still! one of the things you have to remember is wet roads are a lot different than having cold temps.

everyone has their own preferences in regards to the VDC. the thing is to always stay humble on your skills.

get the car fixed up and if you're going to drive it in winter get some snow tires + sand bags in the hatch.

Hello again everyone,

Just heard back from the mechanic. So far he said he`s figured out all of the problems but he`s still going to have another mechanic look at it:

Both rims are scratched and bent - he has sent them for repair to see if they are still repairable. He said each rim costs $1100 brand new.

The fender and the frame thing under the door that goes all the way to the back will be another $1200 to repair without the paint. ()

There is also a rod bent on the back wheel which needs to be put replaced - $400.

Suspension so far seems to be ok unless the other mechanic says theres a problem.


Everything is what I thought it would be, but can someone please shed some light on the rims.

I like the rims specially the ones in the back as they are `staggered` and really go in with the depth, but 1100 for one rim seems too much. I found some cool rims here for half the price for one: Wheels Tires Rims - Custom Car Truck Chrome Discount Cheap

Any information on rims please... I was going to get a new set of rims anyways and use the old ones for winter. Please advise, as I don`t want to spend $2400 just for 2 rims.

Thanks!! Pretty happy nothing serious has come out yet and everything seems cosmetic.

Just come up with the list of parts required and try to buy them used. You can pick up a set of Nismo wheels (used) with tires for less than $2k.
