Default Accident!!

Gosh.. I'm so stupid.. Now, what happen was that Today, I was racing this RSX after school and there was this turn. I was hanging that curve at maybe around 50?? But the car was slipping and I was slipping very very hard and I ran into the curve and my front went on the top of the curve.. I think I hit the curve pretty hard and half of my car was on the top of the curve.~ No exterior or visible damage. I'm really worry that there might be some interior damage.. suspension or others. I realize now that I did something that wasn't worth doing and caused a foolish act. What do you guys think? Should I go to HONDA for a checkup?

get your alignment done, that will most likely tell you if you broke your suspension. You'll need an alignment job anyway if you hit a curb.

Don't worry, we all do it at some point or another! hopefully u learn from it.

Hi Josh

Where did you do alignment? I think I should do it, too.

Thanks in advance.

Menlo Honda does alignments. You can also go to Custom Alignment in Mountain View or go to a Wheel Works.

Custom does an excellent job. They are pricey tho but well worth it.

You GodDamn kids! Stop street racing before someone gets hurt! Save your money from the fines, and tickets and repair bills you won't have by driving correctly.... AND GO TO A TRACK DAY, OR HPDE SCHOOL! Too much car for an uneducated/experienced driver. Take responsibility.

Off, soapbox.

Ditto on all that other stuff, but also, what were you thinking racing an RSX???? I wouldn't even bother wasting my gas on that...certainly no competition at all...anyway, sorry to hear about your little accident there. Again, the classy S2000 is designed for the track we don't need to be showing off on the streets. Good luck!
