Default Oversteer and idiot on the other lane = R is hurt!!

I still cannot believe it! It was night and I was driving home calmly and after a tight curve I suddenly see a car halfway in my lane! So he swung out and left the scene while the R's rear end started swinging from right to left and hit the curb and then it swung all the way to the right and I ended up on a flower bed held up by at least 10 inches of cement and went straight into a street sign! The hood got totally bent, the entire front end can all be thrown in the trash, both doors are gone and not to mention the icebox's inlet horn that went flying into a person's yard I then managed to slowly drive the car 1/4 mile away and leave it in a friend's garage...poor thing! I don't know what to do now, I have ordered new rims, a header, etc. but I certainly hope it's repairable...my R cannot dye like this ...

Will post pics...

Look around in the classifieds, for a complete USDM front end. Shouldn't be too hard. As for the doors, that may be a tougher feat. Good Luck

Throttle lift oversteer is not fun.

I learned my lesson the same way although it was my fault.

I sure hope your ITR can be repaired and good luck!

Yes I have front plates...but I was thinking about the lights that in Japan are pointed slightly to the right since it's rhd and here slightly to the left...

Even if that guy stayed, would it have been his fault for the accident considering he did not make contact with your vehicle? Really sorry about the accident, but somehow it seems that he would have gotten away with his crime.

Jdm headlights aim almost straight!!
Non Hid headlights aim perfectly straight but Hid headlights aim slightly to the left...

and,sorry for the crash.. i just passed from that feeling and know exactly what it means.. I'm fixing mine and almost ready!!

When your life is without an Itr,it will be so empty!

He's an ITR-salvaging maniac. I'm sure he has some parts to help you out, and if not, he'll probably have some soon.
