LOLL this happened to me while ago,,

anyways, not a bad thing, your wheel probably looks bent in at the bottom now, right? well all u need to do is call up a few wreckers, ask for a lower control arm for whatever side it is. hopefully u got a spare rim, othrwise thats the most expensive bit.

I was lucky i found a replacement rim for cheap, i bought a new trye and had the control arm replaced and the wheel fitted.

you will need a wheel allignment after this altogether cost me about 250 or so

been there, done that, was it front or rear hit?? if it was a rear hit... he was doing something very silly in a car that wasnt his.. id be finding a new mate if that was the case.. mates dont do that to mates

if it was you though, you can say it was you, i put mine into a gutter... front first, under steer coz lhf tyre pressure was low.. came around funny corkscrew corner bit too quick and off she went.. everyones been there and done something silly.. no shame in it.

busted steering knuckle, control arm, castor rod, brake line, coilover, and cross member.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
