2 or 3 cars were said to be involved in street racing and wrx spun and the bus must have bumped it while trrying to avoid it and ended up going into the building......

Wow, lets guess some more shall we! Stop reporting off media stories.

Anyway,

Lets hope they weren't street racing, the owner of that WRX states it wasn't his fault and posts a description up of what happened on REXNET (where he's a regular member that attends cruises etc).

Who knows what the truth is really.

Any chance of a copy/paste? I'm not signing up to their forum just to read about how some idiot in a crap car with stupid plates lost control and caused a bus to crash into a building.

he is not saying anything interesting because he does not want to risk having problems with his insurance claim.

from what he has said so far you can tell he believes(or will say) that it was not his fault

Just says that the bus driver apparently cut him off. maybe pulled out on him not really anythin in concrete but he says also that due to ownin a rexy might end up being blown out of all proportion an that.

Although buses technically have right of way when pulling out they are supposed to do so safely. I have been in a situation a few times where I was already past the end of the bus or just about to be and have had to drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid an accident. I guess its possible that happened and the bus clipped him.

as a driver, seriersly i really hate bus drivers on the road....they dont give a shit while trying to cut lanes, they expect every car has to slow down n give way to them....once i saw a car parked at a bus zone at around 11pm ......a bus came over, dropped a passenger behind that car, and there was a lot of space between the car n the bus, the bus just crashed into the back bumper of that car n took off!! So good on u WRX!!!

I know!

Its so f**king stupid of them to expect people like you to obey the road rules, and give way to buses like you're meant to.

And if you park in a bus zone and compromise such a long and unwieldy vehicle's ability to make manouvres by reducing the supplied space....you deserve what you get. It might look like a lot of space to you, but a bus doesn't turn like a car does.

Speeding is one thing, 'street racing' is another, so which was it?

That accident is nothing compared to the EVO 6 that hit a pole in Tempe and split in half.

Ye i was coming from the city and had to turn towards Sydenham.. the whole are was sealed off..

you're missing the point entirely... granted some bus drivers belong in the zoo, but Street Racing is illegal

Sreet racing a few years ago was fun as it was a race to see who can get to 60 the fastest but these days cars are faster more inexperienced drivers are out there too .

My thought on the whole manner is we dont know all the facts may be it was wrong place wrong time total accident no blam on the car owner .

or it could of been a street race gone wrong ?

or even a inexperienced driver trying to impress his mates in his urabus or what ever the car was .

All i can say is idiot if he was racing and i dont ever want some one to die but he diserves what ever he gets accident well surry bad luck impressing mates ? then grow a brain and put it on the track .

I would like to see the government put more into driver education at schools and events to teach and have fun on a race track and not target every import on the street because i garantee if you had 20 cars lined up 10 where commodore and ford owners and the rest imports the police would move the others away to start to give us a bad time

So the moral to this dribble is to stop being dicks on the road stick it on the track so then you can show off do what ever speed you want and its a hell of a llot cheaper then a speeding ticket or wors killing someone

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
