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 just found out off the police that the girl who was hit by the taxi is ok just had some bruising , bumps , and concusion. I am going this week to make my statement. As for MRRX4 he is screwed.

yeah he's gonna get a royal ass thumping for being such a tool.

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.

    • Not sure exactly, but I had a 20det wastegate on my 25det stock turbo lol
    • If you like how loud the car is now a resonator behind that mid muffler should help with drone and not effect the volume much I've added resonators to a few aftermarket exhausts before specifically to reduce drone, volume really never changed, but cabin noise hwy cruising was much improved......with great success   
    • Well, that's why I left Shannons. First they made us pay the excess after a taxi hit the z when it was parked. We supplied the rego and police report, they didn't feel any responsibility to find the owner and would not pay for the repair until we paid the excess.  Then our house (insured with Shannons) was broken into, and the safe containing spare keys for 9 cars was stolen. Shannons tried to tell us that as well as the house excess we had to pay the excess for each car to key them rekeyed (ie almost $10k in excesses for one theft event). They backed down on that after we went through the ombudsman but we left them after that.
    • Am guessing the "steering wheel shroud/cover" you're after is actually the steering column shroud?
