People who can't merge properly, can't change lanes properly, can't negotiate roundabouts properly, can't indicate properly, people on the freeway who can't do the speed limit, and people who don't in

Ok Ok I've got another one... (this may have been mentioned before so I will apologise in advance)....

What really GRINDS my gears...

You pull up to a petrol station and all the bowsers are taken.

You pick a car to park behind and patiently wait while the car in front is filling up.

Two long minutes have gone by and they are still filling up. Everyone else is now walking towards the shop to pay.

Another two long minutes have gone by and they are finally putting the filler cap back on. They then reach into the car to get their wallet/purse and walk off to the shop.

Phew, shouldn't be much longer now you're thinking...waiting... waiting... really starting to get those gears grinding... what could they be doing?.... OMG - Nooooo.... they must be getting milk or something.... waiting... waiting... OMG... It can't be happening. I don't believe it. They have decided to do a weekly shop!! :) Meanwhile the bowsers have seen another set of cars and you're still waiting!

Finally, they pay and walk out of the shop and look at you as if they didn't even realise you were parked behind them, WAITING! :D

Your neighbour who asks you to wash his car when you have finished washing yours.

Female Cops / Authority Figures, they think they don't get taken seriously so they become assholes.

People going through school zones at either 30km or 60km know one seems to do 40

i got a gear grinder that happened to me today.

When the car in front of you takes your parking spot that you (thought you) found after you've done none/one/two/three or more laps around the block to find parking.

Northbridge saturday night's the worst. Talk about being in the right place at the right time...

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
