Something about the car

Our car is a 1996 Subaru Impreza Wrx Sedan, bought with 126.000 kilometers on the tachometer (hope they are real....) and in overall good conditions, altough it's been unused in a garage for a long time. The engine is running smootly, no oil leaks, no rust on the chassis, the steering has no play... everything ok? No, not everytingh. The wheel bearings were warn out and when we tested the car on a race track for the first time they simply... failed. I think this is the correct term, we had a wheel bearings failure. The brakes were in poor conditions as well and so.... our first track test hasn't been a pleasant experience. But the car feeling was good, the engine pushed really hard, the gearbox was working perfectly and we've been able to have some fun with powerslides here and there before those odious bearings stopped the party. After that, the "restoring" process has began.
