i was going around 80k on the highway and lost my backend out of nowhere. could recover and hit the curb on the passenger side.

I wonder how much this is gunna cost me.

 

Yep, looks ike the stock OEM Shitenzas'

SNOW TIRES, especially that far North. GL with your repair, chalk it up as a lesson learned.

 

Yeach look at all the dried salt!!


Your spring cradel dookickeys look different...

 

cost you? no insurance?

 

dont want to go through insurance, all my cars will go up in price for sure. might not be worth it.

 

Looks like the right side is screwed up. Can you post any other pics?

 

how do i post a reply with multiple pictures?

 

more pics

 

i cant add any more pics for some reason.... it keeps taking me to an error page.

 

You're a brave man to be driving your Zed in TO on the summer tires at this time of the year.

Even if there's no snow/ice, the cold makes summer tires rock hard and very slippery.

Want salt? Here's a pic of my Brickyard. Notice the 16" Blizzaks.

 

Stupid, just plain stupid. No one would drive a Z with factory tires in the winter, and if you have any respect for the car you shouldn't be driving anyway because of salt on the roads. For winter driving purchase a cheap pick-up or a front wheel drive car.

I live in Wisconsin and the next time my Z sees the road will be April.

 

salt?? whats wrong with driving Z in salt roads???

 

well that was a little harsh there. i wouldnt say that driving the Z in the winter is stupid. with todays cars and materials salt and what not doesnt really do anything bad for the car. especially if you treat her right and get a coat of wax on her before the snow hits.

i will say that driving the Z in the winter with the stock tires is not all that smart. i did it last year and had to leave the car behind 2 or 3 times cause i got stuck i a flurry, nothing major. i now have blizzacks and she handles great, better than any FWD car i ever had.

in fact i am here at work now and through the day we have gotten about 3 inches, and i cant wait to get out there and drive her home. i bought this car to drive. got nice leather heated seats, climate control and she starts every time. to get that out of a winter beater you will spend upwards of 4grand. heck to even get a car that will sure fired start every time and have heat you are talking over a grand. and the last time i checked blizzacks are a lot cheaper than that!!!!

 

calling him stupid wasnt nice. not everyone has a winter car and can garage their car. i didnt last year, i tried to drive it on stock tires...yeah it sucked and didnt work, but no one called me stupid. this year i was lucky enough to get a winter beater for $800 in perfect working condition w/ no rust. but i have to feel like a moron for 4 months out of teh yr driving a 93 dodge minivan. some people just would rather drive their Zs year round then drive a POS.

 

Didn't a guy from Toronto just post a pic of his outside temperature gauge reading -21 or something. Not a good idea to drive on summer tires in those conditions. I don't really see the point in garaging the z over the winter like its a ferarri or something. Its a budget sports car so have fun with it.

 

driven Z in snow now, beware of EZ spinout

 

I would replace that bent camber arm and then go to the alignment machine to see if everything else check out alright. Aftermarket camber arms run around $100 to $175 each. I can't see from the picture whether you damaged anything else.

Looks like a DIY from what I see, but, I can't see much from the photos you posted. Check the connections to the chassis...hopefully, none of them are bent.

 

I never had any accidents in my Z, but it gets stuck easy as hell. I'm looking into some winter tires for it, or maybe chains. Anyway, good luck with your accident, hopefully the damage isn't too substantial.

 

wow...what a mess...
yeah...i wouldnt call insurance company for that...
eventually you will going to raise your insurance fee and etc;
gl;

 

The perfect excuse for lower JIC adjustable arms!
