Default it had to happen sometime.....

finally had my first real drift related accident....i've hit a few curves and tapped other things....but nothing as serious as what happened a few hours ago.... i bent my lower control arm swinging from one side of the road to another...ran up onto the curve at clost to 40 on the right side poped my front tire...besides that everything else if fine...hopefully i'll have this fixed within the next few days...and i think the short lil drive home straighted it out a lil bit...but now my alignment is alllllllllllllllllll thrown off.....sucks

that sucks.

one time i slid around a banked turn, but went in to close to the apex, and my car bottomed out and ripped one of the rear tires off the rim. ahha. it sucks.

I recommend pdm-racing.com

You can get the whole arm with a new bushing and ball joint, ready to bolt on for $50
