Think this will cost more than $1000? Its just the lower part of the subframe that gets welded to the chasis, but everything else might be bent. This is the only damage that I can see, but I've yet to get the car in the air. It sucks...

Front wheel is cocked too...

 

sweet love of god how did that happen? there's gota be somthing wrong withthe front as well unless the rear is such an angle it's force the front to lean liek that. man i'm sorry to see that. but please do tell how that happened

 

I hit a curb in a parking lot. The back took most of it, but the front swung aroung and hit it too.

 

Sounds like someone was being a jackass with a car that they didn't know how to control. You don't do that to your subframe by tapping a curb when you park. You do that when you hit a curb at 40 mph because you're doing donuts.

It's probably unrepairable

 

Jackass, I was doing 10 max, and hit a patch of black ice.

 

yeah....Its not cool to lead to conlclusions. Sorry about the car I hope you can fix it at a fiar price.

 

I'll have a shop look at it Monday, but it looks like I'll be parting it out.

Anybody want anything? Its all stock.

 

That doesn't look bad enough to trash the car. You should be able to have it fixed.

A good body shop should be able to do it. Let us know what they quote you though. Unless you go to a super high end shop it would be surprising if it was $1000.

 

I smell ebrakes...

 

Nah, e-brakes barely work

 

sweet jesus! i didnt know it was that bad...

 

 

Yeah, I'd have to agree.

Even if you get it repaired, it's most likely never going to handle the same.

Find another civic

 

Wow.. i hit the curb going 55 mph.. all i did was break a slipstream and jack up my alignment and mess up my CV joint on one side.. sucks to be everyone else i know that has hit curbs this winter going less than 20 mph.. one girl did $8,000 worth of damage to her celica by hitting the curb going 20 mph.. my other friend hit the curb going like 15 mph and broke his lower control arm and wheel along with messing up some other stuff.. i dunno if i just got lucky or what.. I'm glad my stuff is all good!

Sorry about your luck.. be careful.. i hit black ice too.

 

damn ..and this same **** was going through my mind as i was installing my beaks kit today ...whoa .. now ive seen it all. sucks bigtime bro

 

Sh*t happens. This poor guys wants peoples opinions on what to do to repair his car and some dumbass on the interent wants to make fun of him and make judgements on something which he knows nothing about. what a lameass.

 

the cold does weird things to metal.. depending on how cold it was...

 

take it to a frame shop and have them bend it back as best as possible... then sell it and buy a car that isn't tweaked. The geomitry in your right rear will never be close to what it was.

trust me, if they fix it for a reasonable price, I'll have it sold before the end of the week.

 

doood im so much cooler than you... i hit a curb going 70+ and i just bent my front lcas, pushed my front wheels back into my fenders and destoyed both wheels/tires/fenders, (my stock shocks were already blown so i dint mess them up any further) but relative to the speed not much damage. and i didnt damage the back at all b/c when i hit in the front the car jumped and the back wheels landed up on the grass. i now have an itr rear bar to try to prevent such happenings from, errrr, happening again... damn understeer. anyway id say get rid of the car bro, i didnt have any frame/subframe damage so i kept mine, but your car will never be the same.

 

OUCH.........bent AND cracked...

 

im not positive bit i think the subframe comes with the floor

 

it's repairable. You gonna have to het a whole new subframe and have a shop remove the gas tank and cut up the floor and then cut out the old one and weld in the new one. Getting to it and cutting it is possible there is a car here that had an entire itr subframe welded inplace of the stock civic here locally at one of the shps.

 

youch! I thought for sure you were going to say you had a Susp. tech sway bar on, and I was going to scream like a little girl and take mine off.

Sorry to hear about that man, but I guess you have an excuse now to get a new car to work on...joy.

Hey, just trying to put a positive spin on things.
