my car met a curb today...

I was driving my 240, which i just got 17 inch rims on with kumho 712 tires, and my cars front end just decides not to turn, i go right into the curb, the rim looks ok, but the axel is bent, the steering rod and sway bars are snapped, it really sucks, i was planning on putting lowering springs on the car this week aswell. OH well my hopes are still good for the car and i still plan on doing the sr20det swap very soon. Thanks for caring.... : (

Mind if I ask how your car just "decides not to turn"?

Any luck finding the parts off of a junker?

Sorry to hear about the accident. There are always hurdles here and there that stop us on our way to getting an SR.

Sucks man, I almost did the same thing once, but luckily I stopped in time. I was like, 3 inches from the curb. Good luck in your repairs man. Drive safely everyone!:

Sorry to hear it man. Me and this other guy that had a riced out fastback (god i almost cried) were racing through a warehouse district near me and apparently he had no idea what drifting was, so when I slid the *** end out he said he took a **** and lost control, put the car right into a concrete support beam for a garage. The guy was okay, but that just let's you know it could have been worse for you. Good luck with the repairs and the swap
