that's not gonna happen unless you hit something i'm assuming. so it's actually better that it's stock, maybe you could get your dealer to replace it under warranty. rather than having an aftermarket one and your dealer giving you no help for sure at all

actually I can`t believe it happened that easy.. come on.. if I can`t drift with a G which car should I do it with... or am I totally wrong on this ?!


P.S. I reset my MPG meter before the drift and pushed in the navi screen


...afer the "fun" it showed me 4.4 MPG !!!!!!!!!!!!!

absolutely not. They will find out you were racing and decline your request. Some companies even monitor the autoX's and track events to make sure none of those people competing come in for warranty service.

Umm with the G-forces and curbs involved, no surprise. No vehicle can withstand those circumstances and not bend something.
Warranty voided due to how and where that happened.

Bottom-line...that sux and sorry to hear it happened.

I was born, raised and still living here

... well I just loved the G so much I was importing it from the USA... however it is real pain in the a$$ too,,, because EVERY single item I need for the G costs me a fortune to get... for example, the part I need costs only 30$




it is # 8 but to get it to Latvia I will need to wire transfer the money 21EURO or 30USD plus the oversees shipping... and this is where companies really rob me...

Is it possible that a sport suspension comes a little harder then none sport.
Would a sport suspension be able to handle that kind of punishment?

Sux on no dealer and no parts though.

Let us know if any of us can help you out getting part here and shipping it.

Good luck.

You should see if you can get someone that you trust from the board, or a friend in the US to buy it for you and ship it to ya, rather than pay that exorbitant cost that dealers or parts exporters are looking for. 300 USD to get your hands on a $30 part? That's terrible.
