Hey man glad you are ok.
I did the same thing in my truck 2 weeks ago going to the cottage had to avoid a guy on his 4 wheeler plowing the driveway i was doing 25-30km and i went into a 10ft ditch man it was fucked the truck was like 90degress in the ditch only thing that got fucked was. The bumper and rad support got pushed in and light broke.
Your car looks like it needs a Bumper and a new intercooler. Looks like in the pic the rad support is all good.
Hope you are ok

Re: Just crashed my civic (blackeg)
Man what a bummer!
Well if you're gonna keep the car and wanna do a 99-00 front, I got the front upper grill.
Good luck man.
If it were me Id just repair and and do a 99-00 conversion.

The frame curtain or frame apron is possibly bent but I don't think the actual frame is bent. I will cost some money to be fixed but it can be done without too much hassle.

Re: (sweetcarz02)
You're in that stage after an accident when you think everything's fucked up and broken when, in actuallity, you just need a new front bumper and intercooler. If you're not pushing more than 8 psi, you don't need an intercooler anyhow and front bumpers for our cars are easy as hell to find: especially your year since everyone's converting to 99+.
Dont' you dare give up. You'll be sorry if you do.

Yeah I ran into a guard rail at like 2mph (sliding) and bent the front 1/4 panel and busted a headlight and turn signal housing. Last night though there was like 2in on the road unpaved and I just did a measly 20 mph all the way home from Newark, De....sucked. Some guy in a mustang went sliding down a big hill near where I live at like 30....it was crazy because the hill is pretty steep.

Re: Just crashed my civic (japspecjohn)

Re: Just crashed my civic (UtahRockabilly)
Why remove the turbo? You don't need an IC anyways. Plug the BOV hole or just keep the screw out as far as possible. That'll set you at 5psi and you'll be fine.
Just an idea. Some lil' kid would buy a car like that is a heartbeat.
