That hurts to see. What happened? I see blue tape numbers on the door, maybe a track day accident?

Aerie have given me a list of things to check and adjust. Taking it to a local mechanic today to properly inspect it

Oh dude I'm SO sorry!! Please tell me you had track insurance? That's going to be royally expensive to repair.

I hit the guardrail at 85mph

Seems like a lot of work just to get your gas cap fixed.

The service department said “I knew I should have gotten pre-payment on that part!”

The gas cap issue fueled this tragedy?

Got myself a nice selection of used (nearly new) parts for my I4 Emira. Planning to install at the WE. Aerie Ti exhaust and cat. Dump valve, carbon paddles and some carbon trim bits. Everything came in at less than the price of a new Cat

Really interested in seeing how you get on with your selection

Yeah, I was thinking this might be a total....airbags, windshield, front body, right fender, front hood, right front headlight, possibly right front suspension, radiator and whatever is under the hood on the right side, right front wheel and tire... and if there's frame/chassis damage on a car like this where it's all bonded together, yeah.... this has to be a total.

I guess the good news is dealers now have some orphaned Emira's available so you shouldn't have to wait forever to get a new one.

Other than ego and feelings, hopefully you didn't have any injuries?

 

[seriously]

Sorry to see it. Was it understeer?

Damn. That's already a lot of parts already. The oil cooler broke too, got oil in the track. Plus you have to add labor. I'm thinking there must be chassis damage from either the front right control arms, or as indicated by a cracked windshield which cracked not because it was hit directly by anything - but there's a spot you can see something underneath the windshield caused it to crack.

I feel fine about it not that it's settled. I was having so much fun, was pushing myself and my limits, the car was handling great, and thankfully I didn't hit anyone and didn't get hit.

Sorry to see it. Was it understeer?

Turning right onto the straight away the back went out, I tried to counter steer to stop the spin, but didn't have enough distance and understeered into the guardrail on the front right side.
