I've actually been watching a lot of videos containing track raced STi's, and noticed how they used the throttle to counter understeer. It runs true with what you say. However like i said, i've never driven the car (nor intend to) up to its limits on the street. There're too many factors and negative side effects that make you wonder why people even do it in the first place. I don't drive fast enough around corners to experience any understeer or oversteer. I soley plan to have all my fun on the track and any race sactioned event. Whilst i feel sorry for Wai, it almost frustrates me that now the generalisation of us P-platers with 'hi-po' cars has expanded further more. Statistics would back that up yes, but i don't want to be added to the list. There are plenty of us who genuinely appreciate our cars, and im sure that includes Wai. It's just unfortunate that he over-estimated the cars abilities. End rant. |

i was too confident the car could handle the turn. turns out not. but this is nothing but an act of peer pressure. It just happens that i am a p-plater in australia but i have 4 years of driving experience behind me in other countries. this has nothing to do with young boys and turbo cars. it could have happen to anyone not familiar with the car enough. although, there are the young hooning types with whtever old cars, i am sure i m not the type that would leave burnt tire marks in the middle of the night or stuff like tht. like huy said, we repect our cars. even though this is a small accident it has big impact on me where i feel like i m not worthy of driving the car. but wht the hell...accidents do happen and lesson learned! anyways, do u guys think the rims could have been bent? the 2 machnic i went to said these alloy wheels are quite strong. |

But from what I have seen with these rims, and I hit a Kerb WAAAY harder than you have, they are either ok or they completely crack in 2. |

Sorry to hear. Hope its fixed soon!
WRX/Sti's are a pretty neutral car to drive (depending on setup of course...) Bit of a worry if your binning it so soon, slow down until your skills increase. |
