[btm]

geezus! hit something pretty hard front on then rolled onto left side perhaps??

[Tigra]

At least the fuel door is okay! Thats all that matters......

CD Player will still work!

[Calibrated]

ouch...

[USC]

is this repairable?

the mags and the alloy pedals look okay...hahaha

I like how they specify that full service history is available..who cares when a car is in that state? lol

hmm..how did that happen??

[btm]

it probabaly is repairable you know

[Wraith]

BR - quick - lots of spares....:D

Oh I love em in red, they look HOT even smashed up like that...

[btm]

nah, red doesnt show off the lines as well as the white does

[gman]

My guess is understeer into a right hand corner into a guardrail or the like..

Probably a wet-ish mountain road or doing a Targa Tas impersonation....

Front is smashed (The front end is in the car), but not a head on, the side has hit something reasonably solid and flat that gave a little..Wasn't tree's, scrub or rocks etc as the panels aren't ripped and theres no "greenery" left on the car...

As they say on Best Motoring: "Oh, under under under!!!"

[Wraith]

nah, red doesnt show off the lines as well as the white does

Red = HOT

White = super HOT :)

Your probably right and maybe that's what went down... :)

Maybe the types understeer is to blame then ???

[btm]

Red = HOT

White = super HOT :)

i'll agree with that! :p

[Tigra]

i'll agree with that! :p

If they say that red goes faster, what about white?

[btm]

If they say that red goes faster, what about white?

too fast to be seen :D

[Wraith]

If they say that red goes faster, what about white?

Red = goes faster

White = goes like lightning :)

[bornwild]

Damn...that was quick

[btm]

Damn...that was quick

wonder how many kms he managed before that

[blueraven]

about 1500km apparently (read it on another forum)...no idea what caused it tho.


as for understeer, depends what you have the diff set on ;) i can switch it mid corner and the thing literally dives for the inside of the corner..its actually a bit scary sometimes, it grips when you really, really dont think it will and can catch you out. tell you one thing, I am finding it VERY hard to find the cars limits on the road.

Glad to see i dont need to educate anyone here about white :D

[poita]

hmmmm i'll have the bonnet ;)

[Tigra]

Glad to see i dont need to educate anyone here about white :D

But you know what everyone says about 'Black'.....

[poita]

All it needs is a buff :p

[blueraven]

But you know what everyone says about 'Black'.....

Its a bitch to clean and shows every little scratch and stone chip? ;) :clap:

[xplosv57]

I stumbled across a new STi on the Pickles site a few weeks ago, but looking at the pics, it had no damage whatsoever but was in the repairable write off section, not the reposession section i'd assume it would be in!!! Maybe the driveline was broken somewhere or something!!!

[Tigra]

Unfortunatly....Yes....

[USC]

I like them in subaru Blue (like arden blue) or black:D

[Wraith]

Glad to see i dont need to educate anyone here about white :D

True that BR I think we are all jealous of your new ride :D

Hope your having lots of fun with it - I'm sure you are :)

[USC]

Unfortunatly....Yes....

metallic black shows scratches and chips a bit less than solid black.

[MitchSRi]

Damn .. they improved on the already hideous design.

[astrauturbo]

would be worth buying that and buying a RX version and just doing a transplant of the engine :D

[xplosv57]

Knew a guy who did that with an '01 Impreza, RX car, WRX motor, gearbox etc, the amount of f***ing around they did with that car and the amount of trouble it gave was very not worth it!!! Not to mention that in the end it cost him the same for the conversion as it was if he bought a WRX in the first place!!! Was killed with resale too, got nothing for it!!!

He now has an '05 STi, done by the factory, no hassles!!!

[astrauturbo]

Hmm true thought it would be a easy swap if u had the right tools ??

[xplosv57]

Haha yep we thought so too...........

Not so much the tools, more the case of much more different components from RX to WRX than the motor!!!

I don't think it can be done with the new Impreza as the STi runs a slightly different shell...

Previous generation Impreza's haven't been too hard to do it with. When Subaru left rallying in Australia a few years back, the 20 or so Subaru RS Rally Challenge cars were now stupidly uncompetitive in any class other than the challenge, so all but a couple are now converted STi's...

He clearly thought he was driving an Astra und underestimated a corner.

...


According to the salesman who sold me my car, the New STi only shares a dozen parts in total with the impreza/wrx.

freakin everything is diffent. :boohoo:

[gslrallysport]

yes he does own it :)
ha, own it... something like that! I'm just a random spambot! :p

How much for a set of Belstein Shocks and Eibach Coilovers for Astra G?

[R3N]

How much for a set of Belstein Shocks and Eibach Coilovers for Astra G?

take it to PM

[ROCCO]

I guess in the end it was a good way to test the air bags

[Dave]

I bet he's regreting paying that much to experience a crash.

[DaveM]

That'll buff right out...
