Low Tyres + 2nd Gear =

[Stealthed]

Low tyre Pressure + 2nd Gear around corner = Not good.

Was on my way to Pump tyres up and get fuel as my tyres normally sit around 32-34psi, they were about 26-28 and yea................hit a kerb.

want to try and fix it all in a week as i just went on annual leave....poo

[inthisglass]

anything damaged apart from the front bar and rim?

[Stealthed]

on closer inspection, Power steering rod is bent, Zorst dented, skirts have minor cracks wont know fully till i get her on a hoist.

Dammnit i was so close to caltex aswell lol.

on the bright side, maybe i can get new skirts...hmmm

Got to find a place to get another rim like that.

[Haunter]

ooooh man, I'd be cut.

Unlucky man, Very unlucky.

[Stealthed]

yea i am, Just lucky it didnt damage any of the body work otherwise....it would cost a fortune at a panel beater.

[madbung]

bad luck, how hard did you hit the curb...I'd hardly call 26-28 psi critically low.

Mine have been down to as little as 10-12 psi at times. crap valves.

[sh@un]

even 10psi in the tyre won't do that...

[Stealthed]

was probably going, around 30-45km/h

[lunjiaow]

did you try to do a drift around the corner or something?

looks bad.....

[gersfan]

damn, that sucks.

Your car was looking really good too

[Stealthed]

did you try to do a drift around the corner or something?

looks bad.....

was in bit of a rush to go to a go kart race hehe , nothing was intentional.

[MattyP]

So the answer is yes lol

I take it you never made the go-kart race then

[inthisglass]

[charlie22]

Ouch, Nasty one man

Geez, you must have really swung on it huh?

[Stealthed]

lol. i like my rims so wanna see if i can buy another one.

[NA_Goodness]

Ouch man!! That looks pretty bad. I was really hoping to go cruising tomorrow night as well Hopefully its easy to repair. Let me know if you need a hand with anything, I'm more then happy to help you out.

[R33_NICK]

shit thats pretty bad. know how you feel man. i hit a kerb like 3 months ago(wet roads and worn out inside edges dont mix) understeered and hit it. put it on the hoist; bend my lower control arm, tyre was rubbing on inner guard and rim is heavily scratched got my lower control arm replaced, got new front tyres and wheel alignment done by brad afterthat. just gotta watch the tyre pressures and depth frequently

[MeLSki]

Dude...I had like this sixth sense when you sent me that pic, and my phone wouldn't download it....I was thinkin...aw oh... crash? Close enough

Sad times man

[Niksmo]

shit a brick. i better stop speeding around corners then. it hurts to see a skyline like that.

[Stealthed]

Yea lesson learnt, can only hope i didnt bend the chassis but it dont look to bad just LHF wheel area is FkD.

It caught me off guard im still not sure if it was because of my tyres or there was something on the road (oil, sand) but either way, take the corners carfully guys.
