    Crashed at 80 mph

    So i got my new suspension on and i wanted to test it out. (Eibach sportlines and Kyb agx's) the thing handled beautifuly around these corners. I then picked up my friend and began to show him how good it handled and i realized i didnt know its limits and i began to push it on a series of turns. all was fine as i was hitting winding turns at 70+ mph when i hit 80 and my freind goes slow down as another car was coming in the opposite lane and the turn began to come so sharp that i couldnt stick it and the car began to slide and i hit the brakes then gas and jerked the steering wheel sending my sliding accord out of the way of the car and pulling it into a 180 which then slide up the curb and onto the sidewalk and into a bush. After the shock that i had crashed kicked in, i sped out of thier and left the scene. I got back and in my friends garage and only my rims were chipped and my doors were bent up at the top so that i could stick my hand down wear the weather proofing seal was. I thought i was screwed but i had managed to bend most of it back in place. however the front driver door has a gap in between the place where it would meet with the back driver door. i think this would be the door hinge but im not sure.. any suggestions>?

    Lets see a pic of the whole thing and not just a closeup of the door.

    Thats a mean gap you have there. Sure you didnt warp the whole body with that stunt you pulled?

      i hope not. i just got it aligned yesterday and it was way way way out of alignment from the crash, but they didnt say anything about it being crashed when they did one of those "heres whats wrong with your car scheme" As of now i cant get a pic till tomorrow but i will get it on as soon as i can. it looks normal on the whole driver side except for that gap in the door.

        Your very lucky you didnt kill yourself next time do it when noone is there and make sure your suspension is a tad bit more worked than that before you decide to stunt.

            i can't believe you trashed my yard and bushes like that and then left. i spent like a thousand dollars for landscapers and stuff last week. please transfer $500 into my paypal account and we don't have to involve the police.

                        You really should learn how to drive if you are gonna take corners like that at 80.
