here is someone I know that went out of control, and totalled his almost $30k 06 WRX limited. All I will say is, to be careful, and know the roads you "race" on(or go to a god damn track!!!)

Sad thing is that those wheels don't look bent, so they'll probably go on to kill another subaru.

What happened? Did he miss a turn?

Do you have access to the parts from that thing? There's a few things I'd be interested in...

shtbxr22 · Post by **shtbxr22** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 12:42 am

hit a boulder around a turn on an unfamiliar road, on the wrong side of the road, while racing. At least that's what is being said.

I'm looking out for me first, then I will post leftovers....

All I want are the brakes, and intercooler. I will keep you guys posted.

Ah, the costs of insecurity.

Good, I don't want either of those parts. PM me before you post!

He is lucky it wasn't a car.

you want the wheels?

ericem · Post by **ericem** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 2:17 am

those wheels don't look bad, just sometimes looks odd, definitely wouldn't want to hit a curb with those

Tough luck...

PM me as well when this goes to part-out...

I'm after the metal coolent catch can...

those wheels are so god damn lame. They look like lame budget les schwab setup. Prolly some lame budget tires too.

shtbxr22 · Post by **shtbxr22** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 11:07 pm

he reused the stock tires(re92) I got the stock wheels

Adam West · Post by **Adam West** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 11:35 pm

That explains it. RE92 = slippy...

Sorry...

My best wishes for your friend's health though.

Adam West · Post by **Adam West** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 4:20 pm

Yeah, I agree - idiot behavior makes this happen...

BUT if you want a good laugh look at the TireRack ratings for this tire. Solid 4's across the board...

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 9:56 pm

The RE92 is a good tire, espically in the snow. For your average driver, it's a great tire.

For your first AWD car, it's a great tire. It breaks away nice and clean, and it slides VERY audibly.

If you drive like an idiot, and don't know what your doing, you'll crash.

If you can't drive, you can't blame the tires.

yeah those wheels are ghey, look like something someone would run on a saturn with a mismatching body kit and towel rack wing.
I also like the re92's because they are dirt cheap and a pretty well rounded tire. I'm on my 4th pair. seems like every now and then some wrx guy is giving them away. I wouldnt say they are great in the snow but they can keep you on the road. honestly, what do you really gain out of .2 more g's worth of tire from a street car? dont mean to open a can of worms or anything but if you are driving at the limits of re92's on the street, that is still pretty damn fast in the scheme of things. being on the edge of traction at 50pmph in a given turn rather than 60mph on tires that are $150/corner is enough for me. and I agree with phil, my fav part is how they transition from grip to loose pretty nicely. the main thing I dont like about em is the shitty sidewall where you have to run over 40 psi to keep em from rolling over readily.

evolutionmovement · Post by **evolutionmovement** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 2:38 am

I prefer tires that break away progressively. As usual, I'm more old school and I like to drift a car around turns (but not actually be a 'drifter') a little and balance it myself rather than just buying mechanical grip. Cheap tires also allow you to do stupid movie stunts.
