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

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
