Crap tyres, speeding etc may all be the reason it crashed but the reason it fell apart is the real question!
What strikes me is if the front end has had an impact so hard to rip the front off, how come the lower cross member where the rad sits is perfectly straight?

There is little or no evidence of a major impact on that photo showing the upside down engine.

Was probably held together with blu tak and the car falling apart caused the accident!

nothing would surprise me with an sioc car, ive seen their club stand and i doubt a single member could put air in a tyre on an impreza nevermind maintain one to a decent standard.

yes thats the one, the club has a similar effect on most impreza enthusiasts.

i had the misfortune of seeing vader and hulk in the flesh at pod this year. i had a mixture of laughter and shock.

no sympathy whatsoever

you drive a car like this and put more effort into the **** stickers and **** alloys yet leave the 2 most important areas alone, brakes and tyres

these people will never learn
