  1. i wonder if ppl's insurance covers acts of god
  2. im normally at subiaco tafe at the time of the storm. thankfully i had other stuff on so i couldn't make it. so very very lucky god was on my side that day. did u guys see the guy on the motor bike getting on ch 7 news last night , what a machine and the thornlie tree man is still in his tree now would be a good time to go shopping 4 a car if u dont mind some dents and fixing the windows
  3. if ur happy to changing the sparkplugs with oil change then copper plugs are the way to go. iridium is over kill and i have found that platinum dont always last 100,000km. i have had some go at 10,000km so im not happy with them but other ppl have reported success. if u get misfiring at the top end then its because the gap is 2 big or the coils are arcing out. to fix = new coils, close down the gap, silicon the coil mounting bracket. i have not had misfiring at idle so im not to shore maybe change the oil, sparkplugs and see how that goes. i personally dont gap my sparkplugs i should to make shore there the same but so far i haven't had any problems other then platinum sparkplugs that shit themselves after 10,000km and some arcing the part number 4 my copper plugs BKR5E-11 follow this link to understand the part number http://www.ngkspark.com.au/sparkplug.php#
  4. i vote a cut out with a butterfly valve if only u were legal
  5. wow that is just astounding. u were a witness u had a independent witness they were street drinking and were under 18 and were questioned by police in the area of the rock throwing, but apparently thats not good enough .... im confused how can they not have been in the area, they were questioned there. and i also bet if the cops got off there ass's and did some work they would have probs been able to find some video footage with all the cctv cameras there are with main roads, independent businesses, and ATM's. the cops should have done more because what if that rock went through the window anything could have happened.
  6. there was no car in the photo 4 the speeding fine?¿ really so just empty road ¿? what was the outcome ?
  7. just a small note concerning fans u dont need a thermo. my thermo shat itself so i took it off and i haven't gotten around to replacing it and i have tracked the car with no heat problems so as along as your engine fan is in good working order u should be fine (for air flow) and also how is your water pump doing because u said that your thermostat was f***ed so were there is smoke theirs fire most of the time
  8. i have 235/45 and looks very similar to yours but im pretty shore im not getting any rubbing but probs will be getting 235/40 next time around u should take the wheel off and have a good look also full lock the steering both ways with the wheel on
  9. ppl with HID light (stock and after market) omfg they are such a distraction any body reading this if u have HID lights plz adjust them so they dont blast the car in front
  10. no it would be safe because the majority of ppl under 16 that stay out past 7:30 are up to no good. eg spud guns, drinking, egging, tagging, and just being a general nuisance. and if under 16yr olds still think it is bad when there 18 well they will have voting power and the law will be scrapped and any way kids have MSN, facebook, myspace, SAU to communicate on so they dont need to be hanging out on the streets a curfew would give power to the police and force parents to be responsible both good things
  11. like i said b4 what do they expect us to do with incompetent police and counsel security that is to lazy to just to a drive by. if the police and the counsel security are going 2 do nothing then who will. these kids can get way with murder and i cant speed 3km over the speed limit go figure. hell they should have a curfew 4 kids under 16 so there not allowed out on there own after 7:30pm because why would a -16yr be out at that time
  12. well i have a situation in my area concerning miners. what has been happening and 4 some time now a group of punk kids have been going around egging houses at night. and because its at night nobody has known they have been egged till the next day and most houses in my area are rendered so they need to be re painted 2 remove the egg. wait it gets better one of the houses that has been getting egged is where a girl with severe egg allergies lives and had a allergic reaction that could have been fatal. wait still getting better we call council security to do a drive by every so often to be told that we need to call the police because council security cant be stuffed. so we and many other go to the police station and ask what they can do, and all the police have managed to do is pick on my little brother when he is riding home from school checking his bag and telling him that if any more houses get egged that they would be coming after him. we have never seen a police drive by at night. so what we have learnt from this is when it comes to ppl under 18 all that can be done is take the law into your own hands (kick the crap out of the punk kids) because nothing else can be done like seriously what do the police expect when they do nothing
  13. well im going 2 be of P's in 2 months so this dont really affect me. but i dont like the idea of something like this becoming a law. i drive a GTST and i have been a responsible driver no hooning or anything stupid. and i know people that drive ford focus, Mitsubisi Lanser, and old holden V6 bombs that do like 90 in 60 zones do burnout's and all that shit. im the only person i know with a nice car well what im trying 2 say is that i think that putting a power restriction on cars will not stop anything. in the past there were no power restrictions so why should there be now. some good alternatives could be a more comprehensive driver education system, and more police on the roads to keep bad drivers off i started this because it has been a while sins anybody has put anything up on the wasteland
  14. when my platinum spark-plugs shit themselves on the way to tafe so i have to drive there and back on 3 cylinders and had only done 10,000km on NEW NGK $20 each. f*** it im using copper plugs now some mother f***ing bit** in a toyota yaris that pulls in the the slip road at dog swamp hungry jacks just to pull out again when im along side her almost causing me to hit her and the car in the other lane.
  15. link from the west http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/break...-powerful-cars/ what do all u guys think of this. is it the answer? will it do anything? would u be happy with it? could they do something else? ??? 
  16. ok not that long ago i went through the speed camera thing and its just 2 hard to fight (im 99% that i was not speeding) but in the end i just payed the fine. if there is another car in the photo try and get the fine dismissed. but unless u have legal knowledge dont bother going to court its just 2 hard. and if u know that u were speeding then stop spamming up SAU and pay the fine
  17. i just did this 2 days ago lol what i did was first undo top radiator hose then the bottom one i then flushed with water and then (first time trying this) ran compressed air through the system to flush out every last bit this cleaned out almost all of the old coolant as i know i used 8L of fresh coolant and the rb25 takes about that much. alternatively there is a bolt on the drivers side of the engine that u can un do to drain every thing and then u could flush with water *note u need three bond 1386B to seal the bolt and also when toping up with water only use distilled or (better) because tap water is what causes corrosion. i used 10L distilled water and 1L of coolant concentrate. also distilled water will extend the life of ur coolant so u dont need to change it as often ¿? why do we need a thermostat especially in sumer ? was thinking of taking mine out
  18. will be trying this mod its got 2 be 1 of the cheapest 1s out and it will give me a chance to check if my thermal fan works (i dont trust the 1 the panel beater fitted)
  19. yes there is in the DIY section but that is 2 replace oem horns i dont want 2 do this i like my horns i just want a BIG OVER KILL horn as well well i will be heading down 2 the a wrecker i might as well get some BMW horn couldn't hurt haha i asked at the police station about legality and the guy was like hmmmmm i dont know. one second (asked his buddy) then the other cop is why do u want a louder horn whats the point of that. and by that point i had enough as i got the hint that i was not going 2 get any help with this so i headed home well i have been looking around and i have 4 ideas. 1-new cheap air horn kit. 2-compact all in one air horn. 3-old truck air horn from wrecker along with a air tank i can charge up with my compressor at home. 4-same as 3 but if i can find a train horn for cheap at the wreckers
  20. i used a extension piece from a socket set and some electrical tape it was very dodge but it worked ok mad i have looked around and u are right about ignition timing i was wrong sorry if i confused any body its just if u think about it like i was if the spark plug is firing b4 TDS wont the engine spin backwards. "every body ignore this statement as it could be confusing"
  21. i dont think it matter 2 much as long as u have a decent amount of coolant in there u should be right. if the coolant level drops below or close to "min" then u have a problem eg coolant leak
  22. hmm well 4 the lighter it could just be old. so check the plugs at the back and u say that u checked the fuses so maybe it is time 2 buy a new lighter should only cost $10 but at the same time buy an assortment of fuses as the new lighter could draw more than the standard one blowing the original fuse 4 the wiper all i can say is check the connections
  23. probs just condensation run car with the A/C off and see if water is still dripping if it stops then it is just the A/C
  24. ok so i have searched and searched and all i could find was The device must not be louder than is necessary so the driver, and a person near the vehicle, can hear the device when it is operating. A motor vehicle must not be fitted with a device that can make a sound like the sound of a siren, bell, exhaust whistle, compression whistle or repeater horn. there was more that i found but this was all that applyed 2 me. all i want is a normal horn but one that is stupid loud so i dont need to wary about that second bit. BUT the first bit is very interesting "The device must not be louder than is necessary" hmmmmm "necessary" so how loud is this. so in my logic first try the normal horn and if that dosnt get a response or the response im after then it is time to try the back up horn. im going 2 go past the local police station 2moro and see what they say but any input on this would be nice lol looks like im the only 1 contributing 2 this
