Horrible night for me and my evo.

I was going around a semi circle and the boost cut out again and i didnt judge the speed right and smack both my right side rims into the curb. popped the front right tire nd shreded the back tire up. the front rims seems to be ok just a nick on it but the back right looks like its preety bad also my alighnment is way off now. illpost pics of the wheels tomorrow. there tenzo dc-5's with nitto neo gen tires.

Good thing it was only wheels and tires. Theres a bright side to every situation although we may not want to see it.

Maybe you have a boost leak or something simple, if your car is acting funny, don't push it, that's a great way to blow it up as well as kill yourself.

Troubleshoot and fix teh problem, then get back on the road. Take it easy

i have hks intake so its not the airbox, im tuned my 4ws so after i throw my stock rims on were gonna log is and see if its a problem with the wastegate or the turbo. if its the turbo then im just going to upgrade to fp green maybe. and thrwom ams fmic on it.

i wasnt eeven going fast around the turn but when the turbo didnt spool right again thats how i couldnt judge it right and just nicked it cuase its the sidewall of the tires thats messed up
