(emailed to me this morning)

“Don't leave a rare WRP10 WRX (only 200 imported into Aus) on display without locking wheel nuts. Actually, probably should have kept it inside and moved a couple of i30s outside for the time you had it.”

For the locals who know how close this is to the police station... and their workshop / hangout.... it is kind of embarrassing.

I concur.

However I am torn between the hilarity and awe at the utter boldness, and sick feeling I get when people find it in themselves to do stuff like this.

Insurance or not - I have been on the recieving end such dog acts. It is an awful thing.

Bold, very bold.

However, it's still quite the dog act.

we had the same thing hapen when i was working at another subaru dealer, i dont know if anyone remembers the liberty blitzen, anyway they were a limeted run and they were all bright red, with big expensive wheels.

the salesman who went to move it one morning didnt know what was wrong when he put it in gear but the car wouldnt move... he got out of the car and quickly discovered the problem...

well if anyone finds a set of WRP10 wheels going cheap, be sure to check the data dots. they will be sprayed on the inside of each wheel. :D

Credit where credit is deserved.

Exactly!

Those WRP10 wheels arent the best rims subaru have released though, why would you bother? Try and find one of the late model STi's with the enkei style/multispoke ones that look like blitz technospeeds

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
