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

on a sadder more social note,

you know what really grinds my gears?

i just heard on the news that an 8 year old schoolgirl was found murdered in the livingston shopping centre toilets which is a whole 10 seconds down the road from me. It happened in broad daylight at about 4 this afternoon they said, and in the middle of a f**king crowded shopping centre. i believe she was still wearing her school uniform, but dont quote me on that.

that kind of shit is just f**king sick, what kind of sick motherf**king maggot smoking waste of human life would do that to an innocent little girl.

i hope they catch him and he is raped by countless burley men in prison, then dies a horrible death due to numerous Sexually Transmitted Infections. then i hope he somehow pulls through, only to die of cancer 10 seconds later, where he will rot in hell for all eternity.

id take a shit on his grave if i knew where it will be.

*Begin Rant*

When you import a car, take it to the compliance shop and they say its a priority for us to get your car done and out of here, so we can concentrate on our cars. You think finally great customer service then you do the right thing, get tyres and stock rims take them down to them and the head boss speaks to you like youre a piece of sh!t.

Then they say should only be a days work in it now, then we will apply for your compliance plate in Canberra airmail the plate will have it ready for Friday..ring up Friday no we have found this and that and now you need to source these parts..(been sitting in the f!cking yard for 1 week and you don’t even bother ringing me to let me know)

Then you ring the other yard and speak to the other boss who says that he has been on holidays and everything slows down when he goes away (wonderful business this one)…then he sources the parts that you need and I think problem solved excellent. Car will be ready Tuesday. Ring up Monday and find out what time can I pick her up tomorrow…hmmmmmmmm sorry a bit of delay only just sent the paper work off "end of the week you can get it"we will take it over the pits for you hope that helps...No D!ckhead that doesnt help cause I still have to get to the pits to pay the money sign the documents and get the plates..just hurry up and give me my car!!

So go pickup the car get all the licensing stuff done realize that the car is starting like shit..ring the guy up when I get home...yeah sorry the battery died while it was sitting in the yard and I ran the car dry of fuel…thanks you f!cking idiot I will not be recommending anyone to go to your shop!!

*END RANT...I feel great now :) *

Out of pure respect for the family that lost the life of there 8 year old daughter I’m dedicating this weeks winner of what grinds my gears to this.

Many things grind our gears but this has hit us all in many ways...

I’m a father to be and when I heard about this 8 year old girl and what happened to her... Words can not explain what I felt and what many of you are feeling.

What grinds our gears is really nothing in the big picture… What happened to her takes it one more step.

It’s a very sad loss and it has grinded all my gears. (I need a new gear box now)

      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
