4 wheel drives give people wayyy to much confidence
they think the cant loose the back end and it stick to the road no matter what

just got in touch with the guy who bought it off me...hes ok, sold it to someone else a few weeks later who rolled it into a ditch on his way home...gutted

type-r scooby\'s are a completely different machine to 4 door scoobs due to the DCCD (driver controlled centre diff) which means power split is 64:36 back:front when left fully open for road use, and as the are quite high off the ground and have such a short wheel base they tend to skip around bends and kick out the back end. good for those who know exactly what there doing...not so good for unexperienced drivers...

man what awas of a awsome car, i had a sti wrx 4 door seriously modded n it was a handfull, never lost it tho..

the guy who rolled it is a friend of a friend. He had ALOT of nice cars inc several skylines and an rx so not due to inexperience and apparently he wasnt doing anything silly at all!

Had no insurance and was driving it home and went into the ditch. ill get some more pics if i can.

he wasnt hurt at all and bought another car shortly after but i dont think he got a penny on this.

lives in reading i believe.

it came up in conversation a while ago before it happend as whoever owned it before took it to the london tunnel run and was following all the rx7\'s and when i was showing a friend some pics of the run he spotted it and said my mate just bought and demolished that car! lol i would be gutted if it was my old one out of sentimental value i suppose.

The cars he had before were top end motors too so not your average rubbish just got caught out i suppose, think it was diesel or something on the road.

i was the one who took it to the jap girls tunnel run, looked after that car like no other and did alot of work on it to get to its final condition, but like anything fancied a change so after around a years worth of fun and work fancied a change...does hurt seeng the car trashed but **** happens...as long as the guy driving it is ok, cars come and go

yep as far as i know he wasnt scratched.

the car looked phenominal at the tunnel run.

Hiya mate glad it was you i thought you had sold it on, was a good car the subaru i must admit i was gutted when it went. I cant believe it has been wrote off its such a waste of a well sorted car. I sold the s2000 and bought a supra TT 6 speed but i have just sold that 2. I am after a skyline now exactly like the one you had that was gorgeous, how much did you sell it for what did you think of it? the skyline i mean.

nice rex too mate
