Just spun the R out. Cool night, tires not warm, a sharp *** turn snuck up on me. Tail came out, couldn't save it. Dove in with both feet to ride it out. 180 and SMACK right into a concrete platform or something. Damage: Tip fucked up, busted tail light, big dent on the deck lid, new bumper will be needed. Pics tomorrow. I'm ok though, i guess thats important. Will find out about how soon it will get fixed.

sorry to give ya'll bad news, but i am still shakin and need to tell somebody.

 

aww that sucks. I know the feeling. Hope the damage isnt to much and it get fixed soon. Good luck

Fortunately (or is it unfortunately ) no, all rear damage. I need a new exhaust tip at least, maybe i can work in a whole new rear section. new rear bumper may be needed, any suggestions for other than stock?

 

Clearly you can join We Todd Did Racing.

Here's a quote from rob's message:
Clearly that is NOT front end damage

 

That car has seen more action in 1 month than Keith gave it over 1 year!

 

That sucks. Good to hear your okay, now the pain staking task of taking care of your baby.

 

I share you pain, except i lost two TE-37s and scaped my chin spoiler.

 

I will bet u have some bridgestone tires.
i spun my car out big time once on my cold tires

it aint fun

 

Unfortunately, I had a very similar experience. New rear section, 2 new rims, bumper cover and chin spoiler, and a few suspension components It's a horrible feeling, and I wish you the best of luck with getting it all straightened out.

 

that sux.

 

I think thats a bad thing is this case...

pics coming tomorrow. i just looked again, its not really that bad. i may do some **** while its in the shop though, shave the emblems, something. we'll see.

Tires: my next set will be s03s or something such as that, i'll give up some life for some traction.

I think you should add going over the speed limit to that equation Just kidding But sorry to hear about that man...totally suck monkey ballz...

 

Rob~

Sorry to hear about the baby, but relieved to hear you're alright. IM me if you need a recommendation on a body shop. Ask Keith how I know about cosmetic repair as the first Gap run wasn't too long ago

What suspension pieces did you replace, i'm thinking i should just to safe and keep my baby perfect!

 

If I remember correctly, it was a rear LCA and possibly a hub, but I could be wrong. You'll want to inspect everything once the car's on a lift just to make sure its all OK. Good luck.
