Was street drifting [don't lecture me plzkthx] wasn't pushing the car or myself hard just hit a patch of dirt at about 45 while starting a feint and induced the battle of LMGT4 Vs Curb.

Car is being garaged for the winter, in the mean time it will be getting a refresh on the motor finally a 5 speed swap coils and a new nismo wheel lol.

I'll be dailying the s13 track car during the winter sadly.....

Nsimo Vs Curb

Been a pretty interesting week for the good ole kouki. Drove her front right wheel [ironic] off a 3foot drop off. Luckily I was able to lift the car up and have a friend reverse the car. Blah blah no damage to her except her seam weld. [no pics of this incident.

I was out street drifting the other night since it was a little wet out. [I know that this is stupid of me considering I'm the one that puts together and hosts the Kansas drift events] I went out to a new housing area since the roads would be especially slick and understeered into a curb while setting up for a *****in' feint.

Im worried about that little puddle of liquid, I will look into it when it's brought home tomorrow. [along with more extensive pics of damage]


Crashing is something that happens when you street drift, I know this but I was immature to continue doing it and this is the out come. She will be sitting over the winter and possible will just have all the parts replaced with aftermarket. We'll see.
Gotta stay positive.

Nsimo, must be a new brand.

Street drifting isn't very smart, but hey, I would be lying if I say I haven't done it. So would more than half the people who are on here. I guess now you can move on to bigger and better things (quote from a million movies). And look on the bright side, you got a nice drop that the car needed! (jk of course)

Goodluck, with the aftermarket parts.

What's going on with the zenki, haven't heard much about it at all lately.

what all did you bust?

could have a steering issue after you replace that tie rod since it got jammed in so look out for that. Shouldn't be too $$$ to fix. I assume tie rod, ends, LCA?

I've been taking forever on fixing her so I cant postpone driving her until the winter is up.
Front suspension xmember is bent a little at the end. I dont think it affected where the bolt for the LCA connects though so it outta be ok. Will check tie rod soon.
Bushing in the Tension rod was destroyed. Tension rod is stuck in the LCA, becasue the LCA bent on top of it. The studs in the Tension rod also bent.

Just an excuse for me to hit up SPL parts.

Front suspension xmember was far more bent than I thought.
Tension rod where the bushing is was bent from a O to an oval.
Since I have to "lift" the motor up to replace the suspension member [lolololol] I'm just going to do a 5 speed swap.
w00t

All I need are some front struts after this and it's golden.
