Bad day for me...

[Festiva GTX]

Today wasnt my good day with driving Festiva GTX...

One of front wheel got broke away my car! It skid very bad and damaged the aspire rotor, fender and lugs :cry:

[25Horseplay]

I hope you are OK, did you damage the body of the car or just brakes?

[Festiva GTX]

I am alright and just freaking me out...I was recent drove over 70 MPH and few min later in quiet street for some reason front wheel got give up and disconnect away from brake. I could have been worse in car accident if I was still on highway... i'll post picture from my phone pictures... :shock:

[neanderpaul]

Sorry to hear that. Glad you are ok. Good luck with the repairs.

[Festiva GTX]

Here pictures of Festiva GTX got "left broke arm" I have inspected what cause it was..

D**N THOSE CHEAPO FESTIVA LUG BOLTS! Take my advise, Dont use them on your big/aftermarket wheels! Get longer one and stronger one...

Very lucky I was driving under 25MPH in quiet street... the one wheel got spin in air and bounces on some's front yard lawn for approx 1 mile across the neighbor's front yard and one big trunk tree stop my wheel going than 1 mile...

[Festiva GTX]

I'm sorry with your car ..but i'm glad your OK...

I have learned some lessons... so you guys can see what happen in here and it will comes same thing to you if you don't care with cheap festiva lugs with bigger wheels and aspire brake upgrade system...

Thank god, it wasn't destroy my front of GTX bumper and BJ engine
:shock:

[pimpride94]

yeah your GTX bumper which i really like... i wish i could have one of those...

Wow... That sucks man! Glad it didn't happen at 70... You may not be here to talk about it.

Man that sucks festiva GTX. Glad it didn't damage your new front end. You've put a lot of work in to that car for something like that to happen.

[Festiva GTX]

Wow... That sucks man! Glad it didn't happen at 70... You may not be here to talk about it.

I can't image how would happened if I went over 70 MPH... if that should be happened, right now I would probably have been in hopital or killed in big accident on highway. Again thank God I am still alive and no injuries at all...

So guys if you even want to race for speed with your little shoe car, always have double/triple checking around with your car before taking for a fun... if not you may earned for a dead.

man that really sucks, glad to hear your okay!! and the GTX bumper

[freshtiva]

Good thing the flying wheel didnt hit someone or something too. People are so sue happy anymore that could have been bad.

I had my car inspected after I finally got it running... The shop I took it to didn't fully tighten my drivers side, front lug nuts... I realized it after driving a day and thinking the sterring felt a little "sloppy"...

It was a real wake-up call, that's for sure.

I went out that very weekend, got the lug bolt conversion kit and installed a set of Gorilla lug nuts. It's been good ever since.

Glad you are OK , and it could have been way worse that it was ..

1 question .. Did you have those spacers in there when it broke ??

or had you removed them .
If I remember right , you had to have them on those wheels .
