Yeah, I think I do have anxiety.. with my run of luck lately though it's hard to not think the worst immediately. All will be revealed tomorrow.

I got a sinking feeling that it's going to be a summons. I apparently reversed into a motorbike in like August last year and it got knocked over and scratched a car door (not in the skyline, VS commodore). I didn't even know I did it until I got a phone call from the police the following night. It was at night time in a dark car park.. the motor bike must have been black, must have only just knocked it and had it roll forward and fall on to their door. Cost me $900 to get fixed up, they coulda bought a better car for that much lol. Cops came and questioned me about it in like March this year (around six months after the incident and some 9 months ago now). After interviewing me and I had a chance to explain the circumstances (tinted windows, stereo on - reasonable level, windows up, dark car park, tow bar musta nudged the bikes wheel) they said they'll either scrap the matter, issue me a ticket for reversing when unsafe (like $20) or a ticket for driving without due care (court appearance). They said they'd let me know regardless, but I haven't heard anything from them since. I hope I'm wrong, would be a sh!tty thing to have to go to court for, thought this matter resolved many moons ago. Time will tell.

Definitely haven't bought any tickets.. The only competition I think I've entered was on Saturday lol, doubt they would have picked a winner by now. I wasn't sure about the speeding ticket stuff coming via registered post, last time I got a red light camera ticket (years ago) it came by normal post. Also when I got done for driving with undue care and attention the summons came via regular post.. I think? I guess I just have to try not to stress tonight and find out tomorrow morning. Been mulling things over and I can't imagine when I would have got done speeding.. if I have been it would only be a couple of klms over the limit.. I think I've only gone through one very late orange light - so doubt it's a red light camera.. The only other thing I can think of was a slight road rage type incident, if you could call it that, where I overtook a guy going about 30klms under the speed limit on a scooter when he moved over onto the shoulder. He didn't like how I overtook (was in my WRX).. I genuinely thought he was moving over to let me pass - guess not? Strange old man.. strange and slow.. Normally thought that sort of stuff would be followed up by a police phone call or visit, not that anything really happened.. so I don't think it's that. Sigh, ok.. I'll try to stop stressing now and post an update tomorrow. EDIT - Does jury duty come via registered post? Maybe it's that..

I received a slip from the postman today saying I've got a Registered Post article awaiting my collection.. I can't really imagine what it could be.. I haven't bought anything online that is not accounted for.. My sister's boyfriend said that's how they send out speeding fines.. is this true? I don't think I've been hit by any speed or red light cameras, I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if I did..? Should I be concerned? Anyone else received a random registered post article? lol..

My problem is still occuring (similar to yours, as posted earlier). It came good for a day, then back to boost dropping off. I think my problems a gasket problem.. makes a high pitch whistling sound sometimes when under heavy load, apparently that means gasket. No idea how much a gasket is or how hard it is to do yet.. anyone know? I'm guessing it's either the turbo, exhaust or intake manifold gasket?

Bump.

I bought a new computer yesterday, now got a Logitech MX400 Performance Laser mouse or something.. Haven't got a case for all the components yet, so I'm yet to put it together and try it out.. should go do that now lol.

I've also noticed a lot of people driving regular day-to-day cars seem to go out of there way to go faster than me while driving. Especially off the lights.. I always wonder if they feel there car is better when I let them get in front of me..

Kick the accelerator pedal a few times... grip the steering wheel and gearstick tightly... stare at the commodore driver with contempt.. *LIGHTS TURN GREEN*.. accelerate away slowly. lol.

Where was this when I was looking for a Skyline lol? I could have turned it into an absolute weapon considering how much I spent on my S2!!!

If you've damaged something it's probably just a piece of piping or something that's split/cracked or come less under all the constant pressure. That mixed with the heat of the engine bay.. That'd be my guess anyway.

Good luck getting the smell of cat piss out haha.. I've got doubts you'll get rid of it. You may think you do, but as soon as you leave the car in the heat with the windows up I'm sure it will re-emerge! Anyone seen that BO epsiode of Seinfeld? Lol.. Let us know how you go.

Damn... someone organise one of these for QLD lol.. I'm buying a new computer this week, would be nice to get some decent games to try it out on..

I been running BP ultimate with no dramas as of late. I use BP servos not too far from where you mentioned so they're likely receiving the same fuel.

Sorry man.. wont do it again ..

Is this the same one you were selling in August? I just saw the pics on that one. Did the buyer fall through, or this a different one? Also does it come with a mounting bracket or anything like that? I'm not 100% sure at the moment, I'll have a think about it anyway.. I've sorta got the money, but I know it could be better used elsewhere. Will let you know.

Yeah, sounds like clutch to me. Do the above. My clutch makes a fair bit of noise when the pedals not depressed.

Dont suppose we can get a pic to view the quality of the item? I've seen you around on the forums and you seem trustworthy enough, but always good to know exactly what you're getting.

+1 for leaving the BOV on. A strut bar will fit fine with the stock BOV, unless it's a home made "el dodgo" strut bar.

PM sent.

Road rage is so stupid.. hate d**kheads that try to take it to the next level. Yeah, lets go crazy and kill someone over someone slowing down in front of you. Could you imagine if people did this while walking around in the city, just go nuts because someone was walking slowly in front of them? Steering wheel warriors ftl. Although it's hard in the heat of the moment to remember this, but always get regos and report to the cops. Either that or get a friend that has access to a database to run a search, find out his address and then brake fluid his car.

Those white rims came up real nice. Looking good cheez.

Top Gear's great.. was so happy when I saw it was back on!!! Amazing show, so entertaining.

I'd take them off your hands but I'm on the southside of Bris and don't ever real head down that way. If you're ever heading up here for a cruise or something and want to get rid of them still then let me know.

Selling my original Forza 2 XBOX 360 game for $45. It's the Collectors Edition with the chunky book / case etc. Very good and realistic racing game, but I simply do not get time to play it and the extra $$$ will be handy. Disc condition is perfect from memory, haven't looked at it for a long time though - will check it later and advise if there are any scratches. Item is located in Brisbane (southside), but will express post anywhere for an extra $5. Pick up available. No offers, if I dont get the $45 I'll just hold on to it and use it to trade in when I get Army of Two or GTA4.
