Looks like the blue commodore was gunning down the street, suspicions were he was drunk (not comfirmed) he veered left into the parked cars, hitting the ute which hit the suby, the commodore somehow snapped into reverse, with his foot still flat to the floor, started spinning the wheels (heard this from a st away) it went back up the road and hit a tree, cracking the tree in half.....

Its lucky there werent small kids out the front as there is always kids in that street. The suby owner is pissed, 2 months old and limited edition... and the ute is pretty much written off......

If it turns out the driver was drunk the shit will hit the fan

im suprised the airbags didnt go off.......

THats my interesting afternoon

bet there wont be a news article about it :(

No P's. Not a grey import. Not a chance.

If it does make the news it'll be an "unspecified sedan that got involved in an accident with a high power limited edition WRX, a car favoured by ram raiders and hoons".

Awesome.. Cheers for the photos.. yeah WRP 10.. unlucky.. i'd be pissed as well consider he would have had no idea what was going on..

Hmm snapped into reverse.. maybe it was an auto.. you can see the tire marks where it reversed...

just to confirm, it was an auto, no way the driver did it, suspicions is that on impact as such the tranny has moved back forcing the selector forward hence into reverse.... the wheels were still spinning full speed whilst the commy was on the tree, bystanders had to turn the car off, the driver was out, went to hosp in ambo, not a pretty sight, didnt know wat the fark was going on, didnt even realise he was in a acco..... the ute was parked before the telegraph pole before impact.......

ouch!

if it were a merc or something would you lot still go "bloody merc drivers!" ??

regardless of the car.....if the driver was drunk - hope he gets what he deserves - 10 years with bubba

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
