Not sure if the right section but
Backstory rear wheel stubs were due for a change, going home from city one night and rears fly off..
Nuts were stripped and car collided into a sign. No casualties other than the car itself, no insurance either :(

What can i do at this point? My options etc? First time this has ever happened.
attached are pics.
Damage to the radiator support frame with both lights smashed, rhs fender/gaurd bent.
Bonnet bent into radiator area.
rear bumper cracked, rear wheel hubs looks okay..
the way it supposed to go around the brake disc is bent.

Getting someone to come have a proper look and give a quote tmw.
I'm bummed out enough, so please unless its contributing don't reply with a smart ass comment.

I think it looks repairable, im attempting this kind of fix on a falcon at the moment, if you can find another with an intact front end and your handy you could strip off the broken stuff and simply transfer, could take along time though.

Is the main rails and foundations straight still?

From observation both under and above, the main rails seem to be straight, it's just the right side fender/guard that appears to be bent( I'll remove parts tomorrow to have a clearer view) , I have been told that if its just the radiator support frame, I could find a spare frame and get a panel beater to do some welding and picking.

No spacers, the rear wheel stubs were due for replacement as 2 were shorter than the rest, the rears didnt give enough time for warnings and right side flew off then the pressure snapped the left side.
Removed most of the broken bits, Only damaged bits appear to be radiator support frames which can be unbolted and replaced/ welded on.

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
