i'm upset because that car means so much to me, so one small thing wrong kills me...even if it's like an LED not lighting

another note is that i'm just about ready for turbo swap and this delays it even more...and the fact i have no money right now.

***VSGTS14*** · 04-08-2006, 04:44 PM

one thing is for sure...i can order a wrx front bumper for the lip and not have all those dumb holes in the bumper....and have it cut out for the fmic before it's even painted.

sti-06 · 04-08-2006, 04:58 PM

wow that sucks man...it looks like too much damage for 5mph speed..

right frame of mind bro. it sux, but you gotta look at the bright side of things. i take the old man philosophy, life is too short to get all strung up on things that can fixed and aren't that big a deal really. was it icy out or something? if you were goin slow how does the rear slide out?

***VSGTS14*** · 04-08-2006, 08:32 PM

it had sleeted a few hours before + rain.

my tires in on cold ground do not hold up well..so i can easily have the rear end slide out from under me.

BluePearl04 · 04-08-2006, 08:33 PM

Wow, that stinks.. Like they said could have been worse. You'll get back up..

Happened to me today too, pulling out onto RT15 during the sleet.. Assend came whipping out but I got it back into control.

***VSGTS14*** · 04-08-2006, 08:45 PM

usually i can hold it.....the ground was actually kind of dry, i just dunno why it wouldn't stop this time.

Oh man, I am feeling it hard. Very seldom I am able to use all that my STi has inside her but when I do, makes me realize that I have no business bringin' more of the beast out. These cars can freak on you snap! Then your like oh poo! Then comes the REALLY EXPENSIVE!!!!

Good luck to all of those bushin' the beast. Better get some drivin' skills. These things are totally evil!!!!

damn that sucks...you replacing just the one wheel or getting a completely different set/brand all together?

glad to hear you are alright...hopefully the the fixing process goes smoothly

***VSGTS14*** · 04-09-2006, 05:28 AM

just replacing one wheel, i love them...and the tire seems fine, i'll just keep running them until it's time for new ones.

anyone know how much a 2005 wrx bumper is from subaru?

BluePearl04 · 04-09-2006, 05:44 AM

I would imagine a few hundred dollars. Thats the crappy part about looking so good from the factory. When I was modding DSMs we could just pop on the parts trader and usually get a bumper cover for like 50-100 bucks. No one wants to part with the stock look on these cars

WRX8STI · 04-09-2006, 05:48 AM

Sorry to hear that man. A quick fix is what's needed to get over it. I can see why it happened, especially with the OEM tires. Just pulling of Honda dealership yesterday during the sleet and snow, I gave it some gas, and felt the back end starting to slide. I recently put my stock rims and tires back on, and man, these htings are god awful on cold wet roads. Temp was only a few degrees above freezing here in PA, and I really had to take it easy on the way to and from dealership. You live and learn, and get better at driving with age. Altough the getting older part sucks ass.

***VSGTS14*** · 04-09-2006, 05:56 AM

^lol yea dude, it was just bad luck at the time...earlier my mom actually crashed and hit a mailbox and she drives an rx330 AWD...and my ex gf and i were talking about fish tailing earlier in the day...it was waiting to happen.

i'll figure something out.
