Sorry to see this Lee.
I think this just goes to re-iterate to anyone reading this that 300+bhp through the back wheels of a car with no modern traction control or driver aids is dangerous! A lot of todays youngsters have only ever driven fwd cars and dont realise the implications of high power uncivilised RWD cossies. They really should be driven with the maximum respect at all times, as they bite back viscously!

Well said mate these things can be fookin leathal! If u dont respect them it can be a nasty thing!! And my mates give me stick for not booting it if its wet of damp
I should care to explain the only thing from stopping it going sideway is not to use the throttle as i got not traction control etc etc

Nightmare mate, not good at all, very unlucky 
least you are ok though, thats the main thing, you've probably heard this a couple of thousand times already, but its true
hope you get it all sorted, and something nice to replace it with if it can't be repaired

Oops!
Most 2wd Saph owners learn the hard way! I was lucky and spun mine without hitting anything (and lots of times on track!) And I always got a lot of stick for not taking mine out in the wet or driving like a nutter on the roads!!
At least you are ok - it could have been a lot worse!

Im still not sure how i drove like a nutter for 3 years with about 400bhp, no weight, no grip, no ABS, and didnt have a smash when everyone else seems to
Fair play tho

Sorry to here this but you have to ask yourself should you have been driving it quickly on full boost in the wet with rwd. I drive mine in the wet but always take it easy, sometimes people have to learn the hard way But saying that hope you get it sorted and that you've learned from your mistake.

Was wondering what damage you had done to it.
That was until I got to the last picture and the damage was pointed out by you and a little girl.
Was going to say, 'use a bit of T-cut'.
