I don't know what sort of a shitbox it is for the wheel stud to snap and the wheel to come off by going into a pot hole. Snap all 5 wheel studs from a pothole at less than 60 (the speed limit of that street)? I don't think so. I've hit massive potholes in my car at speeds well over 100 (on private roads) and my wheel has never come off.

I saw him do several burnouts on george street during the course of the night. enough said...

RX4's are 4 stud, not 5 :wave:

Makes perfect sense that they'd snap. Burnouts, and possible use at WSID with hard launches with rims, wheels studs and spacers put's it in the realm of possibility quiet easily.

Still, sounds like he was driving pretty dangerously if he was smoking them up George St. Hopefully no one was seriously injuried.

I would have thought there'd be a crash sooner or later... So many people slowing down to get some room to spool up and go pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sick bro! :no: With all the cabbies around in there It's like russian roulette all the time though.

Actually I am not the only witness to the accident there is about 20 of us that seen it happen. His car did rev up loud only for the fact that he was changing gears at the time the wheel come off so obviously everyone knows the sound of a rotor and would know how loud it would be.

Most of the people were drunk that seen it but still managed to explain the story the same as me and my friends.

I feel sorry for him for the fact he wasn't being a tool at the time.

Its funny how people are so quick to judge, if you didn't witness it you have no need to comment on the people who did see it.

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
