i don't know but that looks like a failed attempt at drifting...
well it could've been worse. It looks like you only have damage on one side, right? You're most expensive rep[lacement will likely be both wheels. You'll need new tires, definatly. You'll have to look at the brakes on both ends to make sure nothing more than the rotors were destroyed. I can't tell from that picture, but It looks like you'll also need another trailing arm...no wait, no you'll just need someone who's a decent welder. Well, now you have to make a decision. Garage that one and buy a rust bucket, or buy a newer and/or better car and sell your current one/part it out. I'd say if you've got a little cash, and a garage, then try to fix it. |

^^ Was going around a light turn at roughly 50-60. the turn became ert shape very quick, tried to hold on to it but lost it. Nailed a big old curb and that's that. I think I'm just going to start riding my motorcycle again, wait a couple months and then I'll decide what i want to do with it. Collision work is soooo expensive.

It probably isnt worth fixing.. Consider getting the inssurance money and getting another car.

that looks like it would cost more to repair than buy a mid 90's civic

unless you hit a pole, but if that came only from the curb, not hitting anything else you will have big problems

^^ Yeah. I nailed the curb, the tire was the first thing to hit. So all the impact was forced onto the rear tire and rim, then the front hit, car jumped up a couple feet and then came back down. I just realized that i'm lucky as f*ck that the car didn't flip. I'm going to take it apart this weekend and see how bad it really is.

yep, its sad but you might just want to take all your performance parts off, and part out the rest of the car. Start looking for a replacement (same gen?), unless you think you can magically fix all of that. Remember, a fourth gen hatch can be around $1000 to $2500.

I think you should take it apart then see what is wrong and ****ed up with it but i think it's a lot more then it looks.

^^Yea, I'm going to strip it down this weekend, see what's broken, make a parts list and start adding things up. I can fix everything myself except the needed welding.

I'm still not sure what's wrong with the front. I looked at it today and didn't really see anything that looked bent. I'll investigate futher after i fix the back. I still have my drum brake setup from when I did the rear swap. Going to put that back on, back to the factory rims, and just sell it.
Anyone have a rough idea what it'd cost to weld that? Thank god for the rear lower strut bar and rear sway bar, otherwise I'm pretty sure that lower mout would have been ripped right off.

That really sucks bro.
If it buckled the quarter you have alot of unseen damage. You should just part it out and get another one. |

^^ entertaining the thought of parting it out. Should I sell everything (doors, engine, seats, etc..)? What would I do with the body once I was done?
