Almost wrecked the evo, pushed it too much
Almost wrecked the evo, pushed it too much
Hey guys
got back to ND for school from home and break. The first thing i do i take the evo for a spin. I push it too much on this turn and lost it. It was slick out and i was doin about 80 in the turn. I pushed it too much, the car fishtailed and i tried to correct for it. Finally went of the road in a snow bank.
Here are the pics.

What is the best way to fix this? The stealership quoted me $300 for the front MR lip, and $120 for the plastic under engine cover. ANy after market sugestion or should i just get an aftermarket bumper??
The damage was minimal. Had the car checked out, everything is ok except the front lip and the cover.
The deep snow helped save the car or it could have been very bad.

i know guys. I made a mistake, the other side was nice and dry, i come around the turn and theres sleet on the road. The other white marks are salt etc. I should have slowed down more for the turn.
Ive done it a million times befor and been ok, but this time i learned my lesson.
Any aftermarket bumper suggestions? I wanted to get something with kanards. Anything not too pricey.
Thanks

im so happy the damage was minimal, i thought that my car was toatled. The deep snow kept it from rolling over, lesson learned.
And yes i can drive fine, but this time made a mistake, pushed it to far.

under your avatar i see you own two liter bikes as well. hopefully youre not as big a noob/squid on those as you are in your evo.
going into snowbank in car > going down at 80 on bike.
