Unhappy I need help

Hi guys.I got 320 bhp jdm 1994 wrx. I was driving without front disc pads for 2 weeks short distances to work and back(hadnt time to fix it). Caliper was slightly sometimes touching break disc when i was turning steering wheel mostly. Yesterday i ve done few 5 sec 0-60 pulls with my friends and after that front left disc got almost seized by caliper (it stuck in 1 position constantly touching disc making nasty noise and slowing a bit car down) i decided to drive back home slowly but after 1 mile steering wheel started shake and car stopped i went out i saw wheel angle changed wheel was not straight it was about 75 degrees inside. Car is not moving anymore but i can go through the gears 1st 2nd 3rd.... revers ! 3 healthy wheels dont move but something keeps spinning (not wheel) with noise in damaged wheel area. Is it normal or something else damaged (diff??)why only 1 damaged wheel tries to spin and the rest 3 stay? what can be damaged. I live in london. Any one knows call out mechanic who can have a quick look.Or subaru garage in london? Any ideas? Thanks

You've driven a car with no front brake pads?


The car will need trailering now

I reckon its jammed. Accelerate up to 120 mph towards a wall and then try and brake. That should free them off.

Omg
And we wonder what lots of people are leaving the Subaru marque now

0-60 tests with friends ( they mustn't have a clue about cars either )
I assume 0-60 was in a car park or 30 zone
Hadn't time to fix it ( if I worked constant for 2 weeks I could have the money to fix it )





Going to be a classic 2 pager

Keep your arms stretched out, and it'll be reet, Arf. If not, then you know skydiving isn't for you.
