tonite we were driving this turn and filming. i took the turn at a decent speed and i started to drift out a bit but that was my goal. my wheel was locked all the way and i just kept going the other way. my left front wheel hit the curb and then i went up on it totally so two wheels were on the street and two on the curb. it drug for like 15 feet or so. i pulled into a lot, and took the wheel off. the controll arm is bent back like 45 degrees. my inner wheel well is no more. im not sure if anything else is messed up. i got to call the place at 8 am and see what the deal is. I did however cause a domino effect. my buddy was parked up the street and heard it so he got in his car and backed up real fast and slammed his integra into and other integ and fucked up his back bumper. i'll let you know what the future holds for the 323.

jes go to a yard round town. control arms are cheap there. find out what else is broke though too cause you want to get everything fixed in one sweep.

ouch, my friend's oldsmobile was trashed jumping a curb off the roosevelt boulevard and drove 200 feet into a field... needless to say, totalled. and i can remember this past winter some dude doin doughnuts in the back parking lot of tweeter and messed front end up real bad. curbs can be a major bitch... considering I'VE hit two myself due to not paying attention this winter .. so i have 2 bent rims in the back of my car. assess the damage, give us a write up and if you deem it salvagable, i'll see what i can get in my junkyard locally and ship some **** out to you if need be. keep us posted bud.
peace

IMHO, that's what you deserve for doing stupid **** on the streets.

GL getting the car fixed. Hope it's not too bad.

I've only had one bad experience with a curb... I was in an unfamiliar parking lot in dense fog, and suddenly the road ended.... tried to stop but it was too late.... went over the curb, and down a hill. Somehow I managed to swerve around a stop sign to land at it on the road below. Destroyed 2 tires, 1 rim, and thats all.

talked to the shop. my brother is good friends with the owner so he hooked me up. I busted the axel, ball joint, and control arm. Hes fixing it all and aligning it for $350. Needless to say im not going to drift that turn anymore. I am going to hang up the mangled rim in my room.

*Note to self: rent a car in Pittsburg. Don't drive personal vehicle.*

Sorry...I don't see the point. Seems like you and your friends are just out to wreak havok on your cars and could give two ***** about the surroundings.
