Hey all, I just made the ignorant mistake of trying to drive my semi-new S2000 somewhat aggressively in cold weather on the stock tires. The pavement was dry but in a straight line, shifting into second, the rear kicked out. I made a couple bad moves that contributed to a slide and my RF corner going up on a curb. It tore the splash shield(s), screwed up one of the HID wires (fixed), cracked/scratched the bumper (buying a front lip would cover 85% of the damage), and bent the radiator and rad. support, and took a tiny chip off the wheel. After limping the car home and cleaning it up a little, I drove it to see how everything felt. The alignment is definitely off (steering wheel is off center slightly, and it drifts a little to the right), but that appears to be the only thing hindering operation. I plan on getting the rad support fixed eventually, but it doesn't appear to be hurting anything. I'm going to start with an alignment, and try to get all the dynamic stuff sorted out. I'd like to avoid insurance costs as I'm sure it'll cost more to go through insurance in the long run.

Searching the forums, it seems that quite a few people have gotten in fights with curbs, so I'm hoping you guys can help me, I'm looking for Part#'s for:

Front Splash Shield(s)
Rad. Core Support (I found #'s for the other cooling bits)
Upper Control Arm
Lower Control Arm
Any other items related to alignment

...I'm also open to advice/suggestions. Am I going in the right direction by starting with an alignment? Where can I get decent priced OEM goods? Should I be worried about the core support / cooling stuff? Anyone know how much this could cost?

Thanks everyone. Please also spare the ridicule. I'm not a total newb to RWD, but this is the first RWD car I've owned, and I already know that I F'd up.

Sorry to hear of your mishap.
Had a similar thing happen to me while driving stock tires with 28000 miles on them in the rain on exit ramp.....
Bent my front rim irreparably. $530 for a new rim and then alignment and all is well...along with new tires of course...learned my lesson.
