So it was freezing cold out, I hopped in my car, and I always park it in Reverse because my e-brake doesn't work very well. Well, when I went to start it, I slipped off the clutch (clutch and shoes were ice) and it backed into a post. The body damage isn't bad, but I bent a rim and a control arm. Do you think I tweaked the unibody? Is it likely?

 

how fast were you goin? whats up with your ebrake?

 

no its very unlikely i had a lady hit me in the quarter panel at like 40 mph. tore up rim, all kinds of suspension damage and no problems with the frame. 15,000 in repairs though.




at the shop after light and bumper removal

 

you should have put back into neutral be4 you start the car. that's what I do all the time.

 

how did you hit a post on the side like that? Just get your estimate and get it done with. having your baby wrecked like that is the worst feeling ever, i just delt with it

 

did you post at the right thread??

 

yea i was showing the guy how much damage i got which was similar and no frame damage. which was what his question was.

 

Well, I don't know how fast really. It was from a dead stop, just letting off the clutch. Know how if you do that it jumps? That is what happened. It just happened to jump into a pole/curb.

Sorry for your damages, but those pictures make me happy. I've got almost no damage compared to that. Thanks.

Good advice. Just wasn't thinking.

I did get an estimate, $5000 to return to stock. I didn't want stock, so I had them fix up a few things that needed to be fixed. I ordered aftermarket rims and aftermarket taillights. (Black JDM Taillights and Hyper Black Rota Torque Wheels) They told me they can't tell if anything else is bent until they get the control arm on, which they are doing any day.

Yea, those pictures helped calm me down a lot. That is exactly where the damage is.

 

Glad to be of help. Make sure they get it aligned. Will be better than new in no time

 

that really bad looking at the side view.. wheel look bent on 1 of the picture..seem like u might have problem with the rear arm. my friend got into an accident like that in his wrx and they have to replace his whole rear suspension

 

What do we think? You're an idiot..........Just park it in 1st, why in rear?

 

Looks like you tweaked your rear end. Ouch
