ff_drift's curb incident thread

[ff_drift_lol]

so as most of you know, i smacked into a curb sideways. the impact left me with a bent cradle, rashed wheels, bent strut and idk what else yet. i think my knuckle is trashed.

so here's what's new:



pearl white (cadillac color)

new cradle
new ss/tc struts.

i'll post pics of the final product when it's over.

what the hell were you doin sidewayz? you was tryin to drift?

[ff_drift_lol]

i raced a civic si k20z with a 6psi blower. i won but, the turn came up real fast. i drifted most of it but i went into it way too fast. slid sideways into a curb. if you picture the impact, it created too much positive camber and a toe issue. the cradle bent to create the toe issue. replaced that with a junkyard cradle within spec (3mm) and that fixed the toe. now theres a camber issue. i bought struts hoping it will solve the problem. if the struts don't fix it, considering the body measured straight (perfectly) and the control arm was within spec, the knuckle must be bent. if it still pulls i'm freakin stumped. oh and the hub is also straight, not making noise.
