I may have really screwed up my 93 VTEC - Honda Prelude Forum

Ok well I went into this turn too fast, I have only driven on this road once, very bad road, anyway I lost it, I was so close to holding it, it wasent even funny. It got away from me and I ended up doing a 180 on the road, running off the road hitting a little ditch and sliding into a field.

came out with 2 bent wheels, tires poped off the bead.
And my front bumber, and both quarter panels are moved/shifted to the left, there not lining up with the hood at all.

I am taking it to the shop tomarro getting new radiator, fixing/inspecting alignment caster camber. ext.

Then its off the body shop.

Well just want to tell you maybe someone can learn somthing from this, I know I did, I guess you always gotta learn the hard way.

Sounds like a pretty hard hit. Might want to see if the frame is still straight, if not, might want to think twice about even fixing it.

if it is messed up think I should fix it, I drive it and it feels weird.

I'm truly sorry to hear about your car. I'm really glad that you are ok.

i have a 93 si, i hadnt had the car for a year, hydroplaned into a ditch, then drove out, suspension hasnt felt solid since, its felt all loose and such - thats been almost 2 years, too

My S has felt loose too ever since I got rear ended. And it wasnt even all that bad. I dont know if its the unibody or the suspension but it just feels like crap around corners and when I brake or accelerate. Almost like my friends jeep......ok well not that bad! I just bought an Si and its like driving a new car off the show room floor compared to my S.

yeah I drove it yesterday and the steering and the whole car feels all lose, but its going in the shop today so we'll see....

Neither of the quarter panels line up with the hood? But you only hit a ditch? I would seriously look into the frame first, and then decide what to do from there. Sounds like it might have twisted or something.
