I took the front wheels off and i have some bent wishbone and  suspension damage as well....

I had a heart attack when 1 side was leaning further than the other then noticed i had 1 stand higher than the other...ggrr im gonna get ulcers....

I still cant open my drivers side door :P

ouchies... sounds EXACTLY what happened to mine. (except the other side)

wheel hit the kerb, got pushed back into the body of the car, tie rod stretched and snapped.. lower control arm was screwed. When the tyre hit the body it pushed the panel back overlapping the passenger door and it wouldnt open.. bit if brute force put the panel back into spot.

thankfully, mayhem had the bits i needed and i fixed in a few hours. i just need the side skirt fixed now and some adjustable castor rods as its a few degree's out.. something is still bent *shrug*.. but that'll fix it fully.

good luck with your repairs.

      Took it for a drive to do some logs, I’m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, I’ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmation  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4   idle video from that day just because

      How old is too old for tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.

      I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine

      Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me

      Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
