Red 86 with the plates GT x6 in Brissie turning right into George st at around 1:30

Quick tip, if you are losing traction turning a corner in the *** from a red light in a 40k zone, you look like a ****. My wife just laughed and said "I thought the 86 was a driver's car"

Well hope no one saw Me then. Stupid steering locked up on me as I was turning right and ended up mounting a curb, luckily only doing 20km/h or so.. Had to get it towed cos the steering wheel wouldn't move again after i drove off and parked at my work.. locked again after 10mins even with the car on...took it to mechanic and said the wire tripped in the ecu security system causing the malfunction in the wheel lock...

Ffs.. tmca will be hearing about this one. And expecting a bill for damage.

The malfunction in this one was closer to the steering wheel.

I'm talking about breaking traction on a dry *** street (after coming round the corner (not off the line).

Cars break, you weren't at fault - sounds like an odd one though - very freaky.

I remember on the orignal Subie immobilisers if you were silly enough to undo your belt then put it back on without disarming the immobiliser you could end up doing 100KM/H then the engine would just shut off which was unnerving.

You wouldn't happen to have driven into an apartment block off Georges River Road not too far from the Maccas I literally was tailgating you in my Integra.

I live down the road lol

Can't wait to get my 86 in a few weeks

Yah I know I know, obviously he drove off so it was his intention to show off or incompetence.
if anyone saw me it wouldnt look as if anything went wrong.. I had one drive past yell out bloody hoon.. I was like wtf did I do..it's the car.. so just using your post to explain myself incase


Oh it was freaky seeing the tree coming up and bouncing the curb knowing I could just brake not steer.

What he actually doing a skid or did the wheel chirp? Low speed on sharp corners with the torsen diff can cause the tire to chirp by accident. Now if it was a skid what a **** lol

Haha actually no I don't think this was me! Was close to maccas a few times but didn't drive into any apartment blocks. I live just a few streets up from there as well. Looking forward to seeing you driving around the hood in the orange soon! Hope the time flies
