Well. It is very sad to say my subaru was totaled... its at the saveage yard right now.
Tomorrow i will go and get some parts off the car at the lot...sigh...

edit: just got the story... apparently, a vietnamese guy, who just got his N for 4 days... lost control of his car and hit the parked wrx...

Deziwoo 02-24-2005, 12:22 AM are you serious? ***?? he must've been going hella fast..... crapz!
chopchop 02-24-2005, 01:00 AM holy crap, what happened to that guy then? if he could total a PARKED car, his car will be ???
Fleek04 02-24-2005, 01:12 AM Get a 2nd hand STI and use the extra cash on the bling!
yea.... what feiron said.....that was the story
its just sad.... :(
fullvision 02-24-2005, 01:51 AM Sorry to hear that. FYI, the insurance for sti is much higher... might not be wise to do so.
anonymous_wolf 02-24-2005, 01:59 AM ouch man...
sad to hear that...
maybe hail to anoher 03 and get all ur parts to the new car?
keep us updated man
march 02-24-2005, 02:13 AM Holy, I feel so bad for you guys, I think I have met Kelvin before...
I hope you guys are ok..
mynxi 02-24-2005, 02:48 AM omg!!! that's horrible! shiet! did you catch that guy? good thing is that at least it's not your fault and no one's in the car? take care~~
feiron 02-24-2005, 03:01 AM but ICBC offered a new wrx right? .... you can either get the car or the cash for a used STI
but be prepared for higher insurance + gas consumption
ImprezaTs 02-24-2005, 03:08 AM or you can buy my buddy's used 03 Special Edition TS for $19500 with 20,000 KM on it and save your money for parts :D
Lower insurance rate and gas consumptions :)
fukamoto 02-24-2005, 03:41 AM Did you have replacement cost or something?
RIP :(
Ricewagon 02-24-2005, 04:02 AM :eek: :( :( :( :( too many casulties lately, becareful everyone.
GoGoGo 02-24-2005, 05:57 AM true, i got my subie crashed in mid jan,
icbc estimated repair cost to be 4200, and it ended up costing 6000 for the whole claim,
lucky i didn't total my car, i really dun know where i could find another mint condition gc8, given that icbc will only pays me the market value~~@!! :rolleyes:
Deziwoo 02-24-2005, 06:01 AM everyone be careful...........
stupid stuff going on nowadays.........
Happy_Days 02-24-2005, 07:59 AM or you can buy my buddy's used 03 Special Edition TS for $19500 with 20,000 KM on it and save your money for parts :D

Ronald our gas is just as bad. :(
Tricky 02-24-2005, 01:48 PM Zoiks! Sorry to hear that. Getting hit while PARKED? Sheesh.
Dendrobium 02-24-2005, 02:05 PM Shiot!!!

ouch -- I too remember meeting you and your car at Nagano sushi -- that's really sad that it got hit while parked! :(
I hope ICBC compensates you well -- I'd say go for an STi, Forester XT, or a legacy GT.
Incidentally, where was your car parked? :confused:
march 02-24-2005, 02:34 PM :mad: That guy seriously needs to slow down and take proper driving lessons!!!!! I remember sitting in your car and talking about the clutch and the beautiful CF thing that holds up the spoiler..!!
I am not sure what street in Vancouver the car is parked but i am sure is some residence district though. So the street should have cars parked on both side, when that incident happened my brother was doing homework in his friend house. They both heard a very big 'BOOM' sound, so they went out......... :eek: :eek:
Today i will go take some pictures of the car, this is the first time i met the car after the crash though. :(
As for the car, we are still deciding though......
I got a question to ask, will i be able to claim my aftermarket parts if i got the invoice??? Like the suspension, the front is toasted.( but the back is fine)But i won't be able to take it off though.
anonymous_wolf 02-24-2005, 05:46 PM i think u can as long as u return all stock parts?
i could be wrong tho~ :p
feiron 02-24-2005, 05:51 PM Ronald our gas is just as bad. :(
not for me :banana:
Jameson helped me tweaked my fuel map... and now under WOT my car doesnt drink as much gas :)
before tuning under WOT 1L of gas is only good for 6.4 kms, now 1L is good for 7.... if I get a wideband O2 censor.. it can be tuned further...
Happy_Days 02-24-2005, 07:00 PM not for me :banana:

:eek: i get 7k/litre when im driving normally.. WOT = ?? :eek:
grimbeaver 02-24-2005, 07:11 PM oh no! that totally sucks... RIP
some of these N drivers really are fricken nuts though...
feiron 02-24-2005, 08:07 PM :eek: i get 7k/litre when im driving normally.. WOT = ?? :eek:
if you get 7k/L normally... then WOT will be 6k/L :D .... my normal gas consumption isnt affected by much since the lower load columns arent tuned much... but the higher load are leaner :) but not too lean

anyway.. lets not get off topic.
Yeha -- sorry to hear about your car -- but on a brighter note, be thankful you werent in it when it happened. Car's are replaceable -- not you. :(
Here are some of the pictures i took, the quality is very poor though. Guess this will be my last time seeing my car wheels. I was very surprised of the damage both the front and the back. And expect to see my car in a local chop shop :( Anyway here are some pictures.

ghostfoot7 02-24-2005, 08:31 PM oh man.. that sucks bigtime... sorry.
As for insurance on aftermarket parts, I believe that you have to notify them of the parts as you insure it with receipts otherwise they won't recompensate you for it.. however if there is anything you can salvage, they might let you do that...
very sad...
eatgeegee 02-24-2005, 08:50 PM i am kelvin, back to the post, man that was sad on that day happened to me, i was shocked~
sigh, i really wanna beat that kid up, i was so mad~~~~~~
it was a loud "BOOM" when i was doing homework~
if he cant drive probably then he should play G4 at home instead~!!
god damn ~
and he got his license got suspended for 2 years since he hit me from that day :)
haha .. so is a GOOD news and BAD news >_______<
Mirage 02-24-2005, 09:30 PM Sorry to hear bout the car.. The guy's a new driver for 4 days only?? Are u gonna pursue legal action against that guy?
eatgeegee 02-24-2005, 09:42 PM i think that guy probably will be in lots of trouble, cause since he got his N, hes only allow 1 passenger beside the driver, but there were 2 people at the back of his car , so ICBC will do something about it + he HIT the subie~
so i dont worri about anything to beat that kid up :)
misterAlex 02-24-2005, 09:53 PM Wholy ****, good thing you are ok man.
Yenners 02-24-2005, 10:14 PM Mein Gott , Look at the suspension . I really want to know how fast the kid was going ? Look on the bright side, there is a new beginning for you guys.
YaoShi 02-24-2005, 10:25 PM accidents suck, glad u wern't in the car at the time.
Finished getting some opionions from my elder brother, so maybe our next ride will be a 2.5 legacy(non-turbo) :), still deciding should it be a stick or auto though. The only thing is need to wait ICBC to give us the cheque now
imprezaboi 02-25-2005, 02:38 AM Damn dude, so sorry to hear about your lost. How did that kid lose control? Did his turbo spool up at 12mph or something?
b14st 02-25-2005, 02:47 AM Sorry to hear that yeha...I guess ur happy now coz ull get a cheque from icbc :)
get the new sti..i heard that it might enter canada endof this yr..(someone from specialty told me)

Wide Open Throttle.
Deziwoo 02-25-2005, 03:26 AM yeah good thing you are okay dude........ those kids are freaking dumb....
**** imagine if you were getting outta your car or something!?!? shiet
eatgeegee 02-25-2005, 03:38 AM he told me he was trying to Dodge a SIR from coming straight when he was trying to turn left~ cause that intersection doesnt have the stop sign, so he just turned left, but the SIR probably was traveling fast on straight, so he gave a big gas on the pedal, he probably didnt hold the steering wheel tight enough and his car slide into my car :furious:
march 02-25-2005, 12:20 PM .... :mad: ... <I hate people who don't consider others while driving.> this morning a retarded 5 series almost scrape me on the side. That mid-age idiot was like falling asleep and he was crossing over to my lane, so I honk at him and fingered that dude.
:eek: -> this is like his face and he pulled back to his own lane, WoAH!
Wake up Dude !
eatgeegee 02-25-2005, 09:04 PM omg march , so ur car got hit?
seriously??
wow damn .. subaru got problems this year, so many subaru had damage and lost
becareful on the road all of you ~ :(
quest 02-25-2005, 09:08 PM ^nope...march almost got hit...there have been a lot of us getting whacked lately though :(
-=BoNg=- 02-25-2005, 10:16 PM Be careful guys cuz some people dont care about how we value our car and it means everything to us. Wel, im not worried about my driving , Im just worried about the people who carelessly drives on the road. peace out. julz
banman 02-25-2005, 10:30 PM Um, is it too late to ask you if you can grab a small part off your car? It's a little retaining clip that holds the rear brakeline to the strut, and the dealership won't order it for me because they only come in packs of 10 . . .
march 02-26-2005, 06:20 AM Touch wood Kelvin! Touch Wood.!

sorry man i can't get anymore parts off the car anymore.... thats my last visit to my car. :( And i don't think i can get those clips off for you either because all 4 suspension are bent badily. Those wheels are in the way.
feiron 02-26-2005, 07:48 PM Touch wood Kelvin! Touch Wood.!
we car enthusiasts dont knock on wood... we knock on carbon fibre :banana:
Happy_Days 02-26-2005, 07:51 PM Wide Open Throttle.
you misunderstood -- my 'regular driving' gives me rougly 7k/ litre of gas.. during WOT, :eek: = I'd hate to imagine what it is.
Yenners 02-26-2005, 11:23 PM we car enthusiasts dont knock on wood... we knock on carbon fibre :banana:
:lol: So true !
YaoShi 02-27-2005, 12:57 AM pm'ed u
KIMUTAKU 02-27-2005, 06:24 PM i almost got ran off the road yesterday by a white van.. those huge one that ppl use to carry tools and stuff..
holy shiet i totally didn't see him coming.. he was like parallel to me.. and then all of a sudden he started moving into my lane because someone was turning left.. so i was like w t f!.. and slammed on the brakes.. AND move to my right (which was a curb btw).. AND i honked him.. what really pissed me off was that he didn't move back out when he heard the honk.. he just kept merging in.. fcuk i swear if i were to curbed my rims because of that.. i would shoot that bastard!.. but then i know nothing could be done because i would have no evidence.. thinking about it now drives me nuts.. rant off.. =)
YaoShi 02-27-2005, 07:03 PM ^
yeah saw ur car and the rims friday nite on 49th. It would have been a shame.. lucky nothing major happend.
It seems like a bad year for subaru.......drive cautiously people. Its not us that drive recklessly but those other bastards on the road.
march 02-28-2005, 01:14 AM Kimutaku, we almost had the same incident. There are just a bunch of jerks and idiots on the road..!
Hey Ronald, you are right, I should go touch some carbon fibre, maybe your side marker? haha..! Can I??
Fleek04 02-28-2005, 02:14 AM I'll just knock on Ronalds front windshield.
feiron 02-28-2005, 02:30 AM I'm so gonna take that remote pager censor out :rolleyes: .....
eatgeegee 02-28-2005, 02:39 AM man, 2005 is a bad year for wrx probably .. ( cough.. WRX ) aii .. i hate people that cant drive and people that dislike wrx :furious: :eek:
aii .. still thinking about EJ20 :(
amarpauld 02-28-2005, 04:04 AM :rolleyes: I went to get sushi downtown victoria on saturday and this guy in an old mustang with tinted headlights thought it would be fun to try and make a left turn into my car.. luckily I managed to get to a stop and honked like crazy at him (yes I was going the speed limit..)... he just kept going.. talk about ignorant drivers
eatgeegee 02-28-2005, 12:22 PM :mad: That guy seriously needs to slow down and take proper driving lessons!!!!! I remember sitting in your car and talking about the clutch and the beautiful CF thing that holds up the spoiler..!!
aii... march march, u are right..i missed ur msg, damn!!!! u made me remember that meeting night!!!! >_<
march 02-28-2005, 12:35 PM ;) Hey man, no worries, hope you get another Subaru hopefully STi soon.
And if there is another meet, you get to discuss your new 05 STi clutch with me ! !
chopchop 02-28-2005, 05:13 PM man same thing happened to me too... 2 weeks ago i almost got hit because some persian kid with a civic didn't know how to drive... he tried to change lanes when we were going down hill on a curve, and without signals too.. thats 3 major errors... and seems like he didnt think he did anything wrong... gotta love those ppl... especially ones that open their doors and put scratches or dings on our doors.... :(
