well today i wuz chillin wit the homies having a couple beers. now its time to go home. well i recently purchased by s a month ago, prob got 900+ miles on it. still learning to drive it. first rwd car. i took a 90 degree turn at prob 25 gunning it on 2nd gear. like a dumb***, i fish tailed and tried counter steering. thing was i slid about 2 lanes and went over a center island, maybe bout 6 inches high. left front entered first. bumped pretty hard, however i dont remember feelin any big thumps on the undercarriage. im glad my s was stock height. pulled it over. first thing was to check if tires were blown, all were coo. then didnt look like any of my wheels were bent. next to see if anything fluids leaking. again everything was fine. took it home and took a flashlight to the undercarriage. seems the only scrapes to my car were to the front bumper, undercarriage protector????, and about 3 ft into the left front lower rail. dont seem to be any kinks to it. the tailpipe looked fine. suspension look alrite, however felt kinda bumpy afterwards. also steering felt kind of loose. not sure if its all in my head or not.

now the real question is wut should i do to check if my s is alrite. imma lift the car to see if their is any real dmg. should i look at anything in particular? any body kno if the steering column could have been jacked up by this? imma get an alignment for sure, but how can i see if my struts are blown/bent??? anything else i should pay particular attn too? any help would be appreciated. i dont mind anybody flaming on me either. i deserved this. hopefully im gonna learn from this mistake and not f*** round no more. again, any comments/concerns would help.

thanks all.

sorry but i can't help but laugh.... it's stupid moves like this (when you're a newbe RWD driver in the S), that'll have your S in the local junk yard.. (you're not the only one, there' tons of stories on here about the same thing).... just feel lucky there was no traffic, or you weren't on some back roads and fall into a ditch....

well as for your problem... look for anything broken, or that looks out of place, look for cracks, yada yada....... definently take your car in for an alignment and you can have them check the car out also to make sure everything is in working order....also check your tires...

 

Since you are new to RWD, in the future, never gun it mid turn, especially a sharp one, unless you are trying to slide the rear out.

 

also don't tap the brake in midturn...

 

I would check to see if you bent a rim, then (just to be on the safe side) get an alignment job. Check for any cracking in any of the welds in the engine bay (strut brace).

or lift the throttle abruptly....

 

DON'T FEED THE TROLLS.

 

In addition to learning to drive, you should learn to speak Standard English. It will greatly improve your employment prospects.

You'll need the extra cash for repairs for this and future crashes.

 

As a person who had an accident last week, i suggest

Take your car straight to Honda, or a repairer you trust.
