Ok last monday I dropped my girl off at work and it was raining very heavily. On my way back home I couldn't see what lane I was in and turned into the on-coming traffic's U-turn lane and ran into the center divider (island, sidewalk) at about 45-50 mph. It jacked up the front suspension which I'm not worried about because I have a spare set I can swap on but the rear got hit kinda bad.

As you can see the rear cross member is actually touching the sway bar and ripped a little bit of the metal. I am going to take it to a frame shop but that is going to be like a month from now due to founds. Do you guys think this is something I should get straightened or is the metal going to bend again over time due to it being weak?

 

i'm not familiar with your car, but i would let the frame shop evaluate it. offhand i'd say it's worth a fix. you can always reinforce it.

 

Oh ya sorry FTM, it's a 91 CRX Si

 

in that case, i'd say fix it x2

I know, I've had it for less then 2 months and just put 4 new Falken RT-615's on it .

 

is it teal? ......if so yes fix it.

 

Tahitian green pearl so yea

 

Fix it, unless it would be more than it would cost to replace it.

 

Anyone in here works on frames that could give some more input?

 

What does the rest of your car look like? If it is really nice exterior wise, I would say fix it (Even though I am pretty anti-CRX, and feel it is the honda equivelent to the VW Cabriolet-Just personal preference), but if it looks like every other $500 CRX on craigslist, I would say find another car.

 

No this crx was cherry, never been modded, no rust, no rips in seats, or anything like that, just spot dings here and there. Was a pastors car before I bought it.

 

its worth fixing misha did the same to his 4dr and it was fixed its worth it and at least thay will pit the alignment back in shape for u if u changed or did a disk conversion so its a even better +

 

also id recoment useing a full sway bar kit tops bottems i got bottems on mine so at least if it get hit it will hold up better and not tare off the floor
