stupid stupid me!!!

[drifting240sx]

well at 8-24-02 12:30 i hit the curb. not just scarping it but hitting it very hard.freaking i was on this stright and wasnt really paying attention and there was a sharp turn coming up. i was going farly fast the hit the breakes. the car started skiding and the car lost traction.

so then my car hit the curb and launched the right side of my car up.so when i went to see the damage my right rim is fucked up and everything broke. dont know what really broke yet.... all i know is that my right front suspention is fucked.. the strut and the wheels basicly(sp?) fell off. ....

well i need a little help. i need to know what i need to fix it....i need  a list right now so i could order some stuff. like a sway bar and t/c rods thats all i know as of right now... so if you know anything else i need please help me out. thanks

Cole

[SR20Fastback]

Theres probably a lot of stuff. A few other things off the top of my head; control arm, hub assembly, rotor (depending on brake damage), tie rod? Those could be off, but its also 5:25 am so dont blame me, blame my lack of sleep.

[drifting240sx]

anyone else know what might be needed???  need to order parts today cuz i wont be able to check it till monday

[DrDubbleB]

Yeah, it's hard to say, everything right down to your axels could be messed up...try to get under the car and see what all looks bent/broken.  It's hard for us to say what else might need replacing w/o actually looking at it.

Who the fuck are you. This board is for help, not for immature assholes to judge who should have a car because of what they know or don't know. If your so smart that you know exactly what is bent/broken why don't you tell him rather than just contributing a stupid comment. &nbsp;No one even knows you, you've posted 17 times. &nbsp;On top of that, you don't know how to read. He sates that he cant look at what is bent/broke, but he still wants to get it done soon so he wants to order parts. &nbsp;He hit the curb yesterday at night do you think he really got a good chance to look consedering he posted at 7:30?
I'm willing to bet that he knows more about cars than half your family - Do they deserve cars? Are they moronic?

Just think for more than 5 seconds before you post - you might come out with something intelligent.

[BadMoJo]

Hey Miata_man, people like you shouldnt be allowed to speak. Now stfu you jackass. The guy messed his car up on accident and he just wants it fixed. Now do us a favor and don't make jackass comments like that anymore. k thanks.

Now, First thing I would do is to crawl under there and check it out. Take picts if you have a digi cam and post em. That might be able to help us tell you wants wrong. Also you might need to worry about possible frame damage if you hit really hard. But thats not as likely. Take a look at it and tell us whats broken.

[drifting240sx]

thanks guys. and as for the little fucking prick miata man go fuck yourself. i will be getting some pic up soon to show the damage. i hope i will be able to see under the car today at my friends house. thanks agian. &nbsp;not you miata man

More than 90% of the people that own cars know absolutely nothing about them, they are just methods of transportation, I guess 90% of the population of car owners do not deserve them. &nbsp;You might know a lot about cars, but an attitude like that is not going to earn you any friends around here. &nbsp;He's trying to learn, he's asking questions, and that's what the forum is for, so please don't flame someone for doing so.

wow, i guess you don't get many trolls around here. &nbsp;just ignore them.

i destroyed the rear end in my ae86, so i know how that feels. &nbsp;just pick up the pieces, fix it, and go back to driving.

[miata_man]

christ you 240 owners are so touchy... even touchier than my fellow Miata men (who love to touch my ass BTW). &nbsp;Are you guys jealous of my Miata skill? My Miata has never seen the likes of any accident because I am simply the greatest Miata driver in the world. I could drift all your cars with my shirt off while flailing my hands in the air and while I scream like a little girl, that's how good I am. &nbsp;You guys might as well give hand over your cars to me.

[guidot]

550whp in a miata? I would like to see that. 847 in a 240 too? I would enjoy that too. Too bad you couldn't use that on a track unless it had some large training wheels. Get some real figures so you can keep us guessing.

Oh and by the way...learn to type some english.

I wasn't going to get into this, bu I changed my mind.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Miata_Man: I could really care less about your driving skill or your cars. I am not denying either. But The reason nobody cares about you, your cars, or your driving activities is because you are an immature dickhead! So heed this: If you have nothing nice, or relevantly mean to say, keep your trap shut!
&nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;(Flaming a jerk, or making fun of ricers would be an example of relevant negativity)

---Now back to the originally posted question---

Though I don't agree with Miata_man's comment, what I think what he was attempting to allude to, is that this is not an off the shelf fix unless you know the frame is still straight. &nbsp;Bascially if it's as bad as it sounds you really need to take it to a shop if you really want it fixed properly or to at least determine how bad it is.

Short list from what you described:
Wheels
Tires
Brakes (someone posted pics from curbing a maxima that broke a rotor into 3 pieces)
LCA
LCA ball joint(s)
tie rod(s)
tie rod end(s)
TC rod(s)
TC bushing(s)
Strut(s)
Shock(s)
Springs
Sway bars
and if your axle is broken in back I don't even want to think of the damage to all the rear links.

[ATL S13]

Dont feel bad, I had a curb hopping accident myself about a month ago.. just driving and not paying attention and nailed a curb. &nbsp;My right front was destroyed but the tire didnt blow, the rear right had a little scrape but the tire popped.. anyways.. it sucked I know how you feel. &nbsp;Luckily I only had to replace the lower control arm in the front ($35 from a junkyard.. a bitch to remove). &nbsp;I hope you get away with minimal suspension damage.. good luck.

[tnord]

"just driving not paying attention and hit a curb"

how in the hell do you pull this off? are you driving with your eyes closed? you gettin road head? i rest my case for tougher liscense testing. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'>

and Shiyo..... you're full of shiy-it. i know you didn't intend for people to take you seriously (unless........). but i am being serious, piss off and don't come back.

He said the wheel and strut assembly basically fell off. &nbsp;I think minimal is no longer an option.

Cole- can I ask what you paid for the car? &nbsp;Because if you have a cheap S13, you'd be better off getting the car totalled and starting over instead of trying to fix something that will never be quite right out of pocket. &nbsp;That is unless this sounds worse than it is, but I'm thinking it isn't. &nbsp;I've already got pictures of $1000+ just in parts before you add in labour which will likey double the price or more (unless you do the work yourself, though you post doesn't make me think that's an option).

first off, scca certified for what? &nbsp;ankle grabbing? &nbsp;and if you really are a track instructor, I wonder how that track would feel about your representation of their good name.

second off, 97 240 sponsored by Mine's? &nbsp;that just reeks so much, we really don't have to go there. yeah, my 240's sponsored by "Mine's real."

why are the mods not banning people like this? &nbsp;do we really have to put up with these guys?

[drifting240sx]

well i looked under my car yesterday and what i could tell is that i need the right front strut, lower control arm. sway bar, t/c rod, tie rod end, and &nbsp;cross member.

240 2nr- i got my car for 3500 but a lot of money has gone into it. i put in an sr20 and the silvia conversion as you could see in my sig <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> .oh yeah plus i dont have any money. thats college life. haha.

tnord-it was pretty late at night and i was very tired. then BAMM right into the curb. it was like there wasnt a turn. the turn was so shrap. so thats how it happend

It's obvious miata_man is just some idiot getting a kick out of getting the forums riled up. A 550hp Spec Miata?
