Also maybe try accurate suspension. Timms court. He got mine up, but then its not THAT low.

But yeah, save up more dude. Buy one thats got the gear done. Unless you know exactly what your going to do anyway. Then buy a preloved auto thats already here and go for gold. Say you know you want SK suspension, then getting a car with coilovers already on its a waste. You want 4 stud because thats the wheels you want etc. Get my drift, pardon the pun. And well if its going to be a year or two to save up... Mine should be up for sale in about 2 years. By then its going to be perfect. Id want a V35 by then I think.

Hahaha You're strong you can take it. BTW, when you get your car back I'll start shaving again and be all friendly! LOL! Just jokes dude

If you ever have a free 30mins to ponder stuff, ring up Jim Berry about that. Should be fun.

Yeahhhh there is that. Also could get willow shut down if Im going to be pesimistic. Give it a few more years, bit more development etc... But 5years they reckon Ipswich will be the place to be. I guess its not that bad, just need to get the riff raff out. All those hoons with their dodgy nissans But anyway, 3 days to go YEAH YEAH!!!

More like killed a kid the way his luck is going. You'll get there one day man hey. She'll be right.

Ring or send him an SMS if you want to get a hold of him dude. End of finacial year, some people wont get back on here for a week or more. BTW, its a very well looked after and clean car.

As the crow flys maybe. But in reality they are years out of the way of anything!

Another one for JHH. Just you need to listen to what he says. Dont go in half cocked that you want this and this. Say what you want to get out of the car, answer his questions, and you should have a VERY nice engine.

With rising population and people on the roads percentage wise that would mean its been decreasing? Or is the stagnant figure based on percentages??? And to old mate driving for 12 years, well done. I've been driving for 5. Worked out the error in my ways, worked out I should consider myself lucky to be alive. And Im going to try and put something back so others can hopefully learn from my mistakes and not their own. BTW 12 + 15 = 27. You are 27 years old and still have the boy racer mentality. Dude, most 27yos I know are married and about to have kids, not still acting like they are superman.

LoL and for good reason too Karen!

Damn right hey. My dad said Soccer Australia should sue the ref I think he was a tad upset. Anyway day off today. I feel 'sick'.

Allow me to point out a few things too. More, and better seatbelts in cars, side intrustion bars, crumple zones, abs, airbags, better crash testing... Id say those have had a bigger effect on bringing the road toll down.

Hicas light on could also be your power steering fuild just needs a top up. Or its been disconnected.

You gotta be joking with our govt right. Anyway to make a buck.

You moving to Qld or something?

Doesnt matter dude, really whats a few more days to get it done properly. Just think a bit more of a run in cant be any harm.

Thats the problem. But you got to look at it 9/10 will learn from it, and take on what they learnt the proper way. The others will think they are made of steel anyway. Put it this way, Id say its got a higher sucsess rate than the Australian school system. And you would have learnt something from a skidpan day if you realised it or not.

Are there any other members with a cef other than me? Because if not its a bit unfair my car being in again... Unless you photoshoped it another colour...? lol

See thats the problem. We use it for that. But they are designed to teach people how to control a slide. So they dont crash, or can at least control the slide enough to try and limit injury and damage. This is where the problem is. If drivers dont understand the basic defencive driving to start with they think the skidpan is purely for fun, and they can now skid around everywhere. Skid/slide control should be a last resort measure. If you are doing everything else right you shouldnt ever be in the situation to use those skills. However deseil and oil do find their way on to the roads, hence being prepared for anything. Which is why many of the young people defencive courses are now removing the skidpan, it gets done later if you have done this and this and are this old. That make sense?

Thanks. $70 each for non bolt on ones sound about right?

Bringing that one up... We have or had at least a few 'wildlife safe zones' where between dusk and dawn the speedlimit was less to reduce the animal road toll. I belive the UK has some roads like that. Now Im not 100% sure, but watching topgear the other day, they were saying even with no congestion they put a sign up saying there is so they could drop the speedlimit to catch more people speeding. Being TG I have no idea how accurate the info really is. But you can see that system is open to abuse by the Govt.

Fair point Gary. But if your coming up behind a car that is doing 40kmh less than you, and its a 4x4 or say a truck to really prove the point. You cant see whats in front of that. Then say someones skill limits them to 80kmh, and someone else can only do 40. I can see your point, but its not going to work in real life. This is also the reason I think track days should be somewhat subsidised by the govt. At least for people who havent had speeding fines or the like. Reward them for doing the right thing. But hey, that costs money.

Ahhh but here is the trick. Dont put them on a skidpan until they are responsible enough to understand why the skidpan is used. You put them in what could be an every day situation, in many different cars, and not treat them like they are stupid, it should sink in to 90% of them. At the moment its like survial of the fittest. You become a good driver because you dont get killed.
