Flan Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 So I crashed the supe tonight, front bumper is gone and the rear quarter on the ns has been smashed in. Underneath seems alright from what I can see on the recovery truck. Thinking I'm gonna get it pulled out on the rear and put ridox widebody with a fully respray. Any other advice?

Tyson Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Get it on a proper jig to see if the chassis is still straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flan Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Get it on a proper jig to see if the chassis is still straight Was thinking that, my previous car has chassis damage when I bought it, drove fine but had a small gap where the bumper joined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Holy moly. Dont look like this one will be a simple pull and replace parts mate. Rather be realistic from the start. That rear arch has folded, which means more than likely your boot floor and structure around there is bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked the boot looks alright, mainly worried about the axle but time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flan Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Quick note for the crash scenario, took a bad corner too fast with loose dirt on it and bad tyres. Lost the back end but was only going around 25mph hit the banking then through a wall. Airbags didn't deploy and the radiator etc is fine no leaks or that, steering is also fine. Two blown tyres and ns rear wheel might be warped, got pulled on to the recovery truck no probs and the exhaust is fine. Already have a new bumper and was planning on new wheels and that anyway.

ashloys Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Would you be going with full ridox or just the rear quarters? IMO it would look a bit odd without the wider front wings/bumper as well. Good luck getting everything sorted, not a nice thing to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloy wasn't even very damaged but when I went for geometry one day, they couldn't sort it and all wishbones looked ok. It was Keron who pointed out that one of the wishbones were ever so slightly bent, causing the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Sorry I might of misunderstood your comment but you're running a supra (doesn't matter if NA or TT) on poor tyres as we approach winter and the temp has dropped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flan Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Thanks for the support and info guys, had the underside checked and there's no damage to the suspension. Unfortunately the radiator and it's bottom support is bent in, was hoping to just get a new radiator and get the support bent back into place? After that and some new wheels the car will drive and it's just the rear end to get pulled which is gonna be a b***h to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
