Hi everybody yesterday i was going to my house like 12 am from a nitro rc race , and i was doing like 80 km and suddenly a black toyota fortuner appear in front of me so i hit the brakes and i understeer and touch a corner in the left wheel , i stop the car and call the tow truck ,my mechanic is a a workaholic so his shop was open , so we left the car in the shop. I have a concern is that months ago i was having the ABS light on and the car was braking like crap i talk to my mechanic and he clean up the contacts and disconect and connect the abs unit but he didnt take to much care on that.the good luck is that i was going slow and not at 120 km and that the car the damages are small but i need some help.i have my s2000 for 4 years and these is the first crash i fell like crap i love these car is my dream car but accidents happen. i am going to use these thread to post the photos and how i repair the crash and if people can provide me help would be great.Photos are going to be later



sorry for my english is not my native language and driving here in Panama is a nightmare people drive like animals , these is like driving in India , imagine 600 000 cars in a city that is 40 km.

the damages are
- rim
- control arms
. left fender
- tein left coilover
- i have tein shocks and the one on the left the piston is damaged so can i order 2 units or 1 to the tein usa, can someone help me with these if have ever experienced these before
- maybe i need to order the lower sway bar what brand you recomend , tein maybe

 

You should always replace shocks in pairs, but the left and right front shocks are different, so you can buy them each I believe. How many miles on the shocks now?

Sucks your damaged the car.

 

Sad to hear
Read a few threads from you over the years and you seem to have a great personality!

I would get the frame inspected to ensure it is not twisted.
Shocks should always be replaced in pairs.

Post pictures and more input can be given, but it don't sound like that bad of damage.

 

Best of luck with the repairs, hope everything goes smoothly!

 

well my mechanic have all the part list , later i am going to take some pictures , my mechanic told me that the chassis is OK .. THANKS for the advices and support i feel really sad. shit happens , always have your abs in function.

 

why shocks need to be replace in pairs .... !!!!

 

Along the same concept as tires. You don't want one shock "broken in" and one that is brand new.

It will affect your suspension balance.

 

thanks for the advice , now i have the part list and i am going to order tomorrow , i need an advice , the ABS system cost 3000 dolars god damn , can i repair it or not.

 

is these ok

If it's anything wrong with the ABS it's usually the pump. Not sure how much they go for but if that one really works then go for it.
