I got my vert from the original owner years ago, got it for a good

to a body shop where they told him he had frame damage. I drove the
car once and bought it right away because I knew it had no frame damage from the way the car drove. It drove perfectly fine.
1 lateral link ( cost was about $80-$90 ) and a good alighment and the car has perfect ever since.
Make sure you take it someplace and get a good alighment after.

The rims are fine and dandy minus the curb rash.
I'll be doing all the work, including the alignment at the shop, hopefully do it on tuesday cause i wanna grab the link from the junkyard on monday.

ok we setup a closed off drifting course in an abandoned companies giant parking lot. And we were all having fun. I was busting out some fun drifts, as was everyone else.
THEN the ####### showed up. Kid who goes on and on about his wrx.
Decides he wants to show us that awd is better then rwd challenges my friend with an older supra to a race he turns him down and we just tell the kid to get out (me making the biggest scene about it lol)
He refuses and parks his car and says hell just watch. so im like whatever. my turn comes up and i start going when i hear a loud *** BOV behind me (my BOV is NOT loud) It's the ####### WRX. Im already approaching the drift corner and have it all setup so no time to pull out of it. This ####### decides to slam on the gas and cut the inside nearly hitting/killing me so i take drastic measures, causing me to lose control but managed to only bang into a curb which bent my lateral link.
moderators: please dont move to kills section this is 2nd gen specific, minus the story.
