I came across this guy yesterday. I think some of you guys have seen this car at JRacing. He swapped his WRX for it on friday. Said he wanted something more fun. Had it for a day, than yesterday he was about 300 metres from his house, went to turn right onto a street and lost control, hit the gutter really hard. Destroyed most of his right hand rear and front suspension not to mention the bodykit and the 19" chromies. I was driving past about two minutes after it happened and the car was still hanging off the gutter. Fortunately the guy and his girlfriend weren't hurt at all just shaken up. We managed to get it off the gutter without causing more damage but than as the spare was rubbing on something sharp it went flat as well so the the car was back on it's belly. I couldn't stay any longer so I wasn't there when the tow truck arrived but I'd hate to think what alse got damaged just getting it on and off the truck. The thing that got me the most was that not one car even slowed down and this happened on a busy street, to check if the poor guy was ok.

Probably because everyone was looking at him as a hoon who got his just desserts.

From the pics provided, there is no sign of the road being slippery - you said yourself that the car has been freshly put together (i'd assume with decent tyres). It simply looks like someone gave it the boot down onto a high traffic road and is now paying the price.

So how did he end up almost wrecking the car?

Its harsh to say he deserves it, going from AWD grip to RWD would be a bit of a step but id think youd take it slowly and NOT WITH YOUR GF IN THE CAR IN YOUR OWN STREET!!!!

what a clown. hope its written off and he learns from it.

shouldnt be doing shit like that in a built up street, saying that I cant see any black marks on the road... Full story needed before I call it.

I am no angel but tend to pick more appropriate areas.

On a track, yes.

On dirt out in the sticks, yes.

Driving it out of an intersection - You're a f**king idiot.

I have no qualms with people giving their car some stick, just as snooze said - pick a semi-appropriate place, a busy road isn't one of them.

saying that I cant see any black marks on the road

My Sport Maxx's don't leave lines - well don't appear too. I would assume they might if you smoked them.

Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone.

We all learn from our lessons some a little harder then others.....

dont judge just appreciate that noone was hurt and that it wasn't your car.

Nice looking car, thought it was going to be style32s car when i first saw the thread :X . Hopefully this guy learns from his mistake. Best thing i ever did was crash, before that i was pretty much a retard at the wheel (when i was getting my tattoo done in batemans bay i was doing the trip in a bit over an hour in my old accent and once overtook a 10 car line of cars behind a truck down the clyde mountain...) but crashing showed me that im not invincible and now i always think twice and am too much of a pansy to want to try anything remotely dangerous in a car, just glad i didnt directly (actews fault for not securing the pole after an hour of staring, not mine) hurt anyone before that.

    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.    
    • who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!
    • Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?
    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
