wow you got lucky on so many levels.

could have turned out a lot worse.

so how much is this going to set you back?

glad your wholesaler is so cool.

Umm, you need to learn how to tell the difference between Positive and Negative camber.

I'm not a BMW owner so I'm really not trying to be a smart-ass, just wondering. Isn't there a light on the dash or something to tell you the TCS was off?

and to the OP, I would have posted it also.

Hmm interesting. Kevint707 did the same thing. What car do you own? If you're not used to RWD don't take turns quickly. YOU WILL GET PWNED. Also, can not blame this on traction control being off and the rear tires don't look bald enough to be the cause.
Glad to see you are willing to pay for your mistakes and handling it responsibly.

What we have all forgotten, is that it's completely ok that this happened. However, it's only because this car has no VTAK so it's condition is meaningless.

you still havent figured out who i am IRL? I drive a white Z32, I'm plenty used to RWD. The picture isn't very indicative of the overall treadwear on the tires - despite the appearance to the contrary in the one picture, they're pretty damn shot, and combined with the TCS issue, trust me - thats what caused it. I'm no pro driver by any means, but I'm confident enough in my skills, and this wasn't even a sharp turn at all, and i wasn't at a very high speed... had those two factors been different, i can 100% guarantee it wouldn't have happened... I'm not blaming this 100% on those 2 factors - my own skill certainly came into play, no doubt... but im just saying, those factors are what initiated the problem, and my inability to react quickly enough is what caused me to eat it.

As for the cost, for those who are asking... looking like about 1.5k, which is actually stupid cheap considering the damages incurred - ive been quite lucky in getting good deals, and luckily i have good help as far as labor is concerned for the stuff that gets a bit daunting for me considering my inexperience. Interestingly enough, Marta Mike has given me more time and help than anyone else, and I couldn't appreciate it more.

nah, mike knows quite well what + and - camber look like. re-read it, he meant it as to be dismissive of negative camber and say he preferred it positive, like in the picture.... its all about sarcasm and emphasis.

I've gotten shit about crashing my TII fairly recently in a thread just inviting some guys on another forum to a meet. I crashed it back in May, and people hold on to dirt like this. You're a good community member though, so I'm letting you know you did a good job taking up the blame, and we all make mistakes, so don't sweat it. I mean, yeah, I think people have the right to give ya a lil' shit after something like this, but I am just letting you know not to listen to the assholes who blow it out of proportion.

talking about digging up dirt...

so i spent my day off in the shop today fixing the M. replaced the radiator, replaced the pad wear sensor, replaced the LCAs, and got the rear discs off and started replacing the parking brake expander. The LCAs proved a ridiculous hassle... the rear diff had to be dropped just to get them out. In the morning I should be able to wrap it up and get it to the body shop to get the bumper taken care of, and then i should hopefully be completely through with it.

its worth noting to those following this thread that marta mike busted his ass helping me for several hours of his own time today... theres no way I would have been able to do it without him.
