You guys must not see too many deer accidents thats nothing. What do you think happens when you hit a 200lb plus animal doing 45 mph. Especially on newer cars that are made to absorb impact. The damage actually isnt bad at all.

Haha whatever guys it really is my first incident with the car ever in the two years I have been driving it. Also the deer wasn't just standing there in the middle of the road or I OBVIOUSLY wouldn't have hit it. Think about it. I am doing basically 40mph and the deer (it was a white tailed deer) can run up to basically 35mph. When I saw it, the deer was running from what I could tell almost at full gallop or whatever deer do lol. I really don't care if you don't believe me. If you don't ok please move along and lurk somewhere else but really I am asking a simple question. Should I go for a new N1 type kit or should I just get it repaired and save for some power or other goodies.

hey I'm new here but recently i wasnt paying attention going around a turn and I hit the back rear wheel pretty hard. Anyway my car now pulls to the right because of course the wheel is misaligned. But there isn't any vibration at any speeds and I was wondering if I could have bent the axel housing?
Oh p.s all the lights came on and the vdc wouldnt turn off after i hit the curb so I dunno if I hurt the LSD as well thanks!

I've hit three deer in my time and that amount of damage is definitely not impossible. Both times in my Honda Prelude I needed a new quarterpanel, hood, and headlights. The damage amounted to easily $3-4k both times.

that's what steel (or iron) do when they are left exposed to air and water...they rust. Happens quickly. It's only surface rust though, and sands off, though in this case the panel will need to be fully replaced
