ouch!!
Keep it on the track!!
Theres 3 events at willow this weekend!!!
but,
we all have done it.
sucks man
rims the worse part, suspension can be gotten and fixed easy.
Keep at it, dont get discouraged.
Its all part of the drifting lifestyle.
Even the track cars need constant attention and fixin :)

that's why you shouldn't drift on the street. that's what tracks and empty parking lots are for

Thank you zilvia, you guys put a smile on my face lol
Update: Well this morning after getting no sleep, i went out to look at the damage. pretty much the same as slidewaysmn, bent the lower control arm, put a 90 in my tie rod, effed the rim, and broke the tension rod.

It warms my heart to see stupidity rewarded with broken parts.
Hopefully you learned something.
Price of the replacement suspension parts
+
Price to replace the wheel
+
Price of the flat bed
or, the price of a track day.
Now, granted, there is still a good chance of breaking things at the track, but imagine adding the cost of a reckless driving ticket into the first list. Or even worse, the price of someone else's car or property getting damaged.
But feel free to ignore me. I'll just sit here in my rocking chair on the porch, and complain about stupid kids and fanboy drifters.

Well, on the plus side, since the rims and tie rods are cheap piece of shit knock-offs, they'll be cheap to replace!
Side note: Stock tension rods are pretty weak. A friend of mine hit some gravel and kissed a curb at less than 10 mph, and he broke a tension rod. lol

Gave you the EXTREMELY rare benefit of the doubt, that your a smart guy,....

Clean up your attitude on here,
Dont be an ass. Or at least right away in a new forum community :keke:.
Lurk for a bit and see whats going on here.
Or you can GTFO and head over to NICO.
You have under 20 post on here, fucked your car street drifting like a dummy, and still people offer you the replacement parts.
Zilvia is a good thing to be involved in, especially here in SoCal.
So be respectful please.
The guy you called a Douche actually left this thread open, very rare.( threads talking about personally doing or supporting illegal activities are usually closed right away.)

so i replaced a good number of parts already. TC rod, Tie rod, LCA, Sway Bar, Cross Member, and V-brace. got it all up, but of course when it came to putting the new parts on, it was difficult, the frame is bent.... =[ after getting the parts on there with the wheels and everything, i have no camber in the right front tire. it even seems theres positive camber.
wheres a good places in so cal to get my frame pulled?

Honestly if your at the point of a frame pull? I would consider trying to find another shell to transfer your parts over to. Frame pulls can get pricey these days.
Plus it will never be the same as a pristine straight chassis.

you could be Mexican and tire your car to a tree and use that as a frame puller :eek3:
lol jk...please don't do that.

The frame shouldnt be bent from a small hit like that, i think... Try getting an allingment. I just did the same damn thing, but my control arm wasnt that bent. Are you saying your radiator support is bent?

You need to check your ignorance at the door. We don't take kindly to immature, racially motivated comments like that on Zilvia.net.

But I feel like a tattle tell when I report them, lol.

I was Born on Friday the 13th!!
lol
i would really double check that the frame is bent.
Maybe some of yhe suspention pieces you put on aren't lined up or adjusted right??
Otherwise like Drift Freak said, just but another shell.
This week alone, I have 2 friends that bought verts off craigslist in SoCal for $1700(mint condition) and $1000( for the auto with a little tranny issue).
So good shells to transfer are out there.
Get a hatch or coop shell with a blown engine for next to nothing!

Yeah like i said i dont think that you have frame damage, thats a small hit. Might want to get allingment done, and your shock could be messed up as well. But can you see the frame actually damaged in some places? like bent or something?

Where you crashed was Riverpark, and ive personally seen
2 other s13's crash there drifting, my friend crashed his there
and broke his control arm, and tension rod, sway bar end link
and his rim was fucked, and yeah.. so if that doesnt bring a smile to

bent lower control arm
broken tc

and bend the frame as well.

if the holes don't line up then something is bent chassis wise and you will need a pull.
