I’ve been meaning to post a thread on this topic for ages. Every day I drive a good 35-40 km to work so I see a fair bit of traffic, not as much as some but enough to note some pretty bad driving habits. What I’m keen to find out is what fellow SAU members think Victoria’s most annoying road offence is. The one that p|sses me off the most is drivers blatantly running red lights. Almost EVERY day I see at least one car run a red light and hold up traffic with the green light. Not only is it annoying but it’s just plain dangerous. A few years ago I witnessed a car speed up to beat a red light only to collide with a car that had already entered the intersection; he was completing his turn when the speeding car struck him. It was a pretty big hit and the driver was lucky to survive. Anyway I’ve listed some of the things I could think of but feel free to add any you can think of below and don’t forget to vote. I’m keen to see what you guys\girls think!

I get alot of people who tailgate me with those dazzling xenon front lights that blind u when they go up hills. And get alot of people who tailgate me (when im on the limit), posibly because my car can go fast and its not, who give me 10-20 seconds of high beams in my rearview just before turning off. Nothinnnnnnnng annoys me more. Do they WANT me to get out and knock them out or what -_-

hate people that tail gate, its always either tradies or soccer mums in a hurry to pick up their snotty little kids.

if they are really close, i love to just slow right down and hold em up as much as i can. it doesn't change how quickly you get to where you're going, so why do it?

with the tailgating, if you're sitting in the right lane, and just cruising along, not passing anyone...then not only are you breaking the law, but you're holding up those that do want to pass.

if they wanto sit 10km/h over the limit, its their business, and not your job to slow them down....so if you're being tailgated in that scenario, move over.

Agreed. If you want to add another option for the poll... -People driving slow in the fast lane. ie road 80k/h or more with 2 or more lanes. I drive an hour to, and an hour back from work every day. about 90mins a day going 100k/h. I just want to do the speed limit so move over....

got tailgates by a taxi in the wee hours of the morning not too long ago... he was trying to get me to break the speed limit so he could get where he was going.... sitting so close i could barely see he headlights....

so i just jumped on the breaks.... lets just say he barely missed my rear bumper much to my dismay (want a new one) and then didnt tail gate me at all after that

Yeah though of that, but I think thats a given :huh:

grr last 3 piss me off.. but the worst is tailgating at 100/k hr.. also on the Ring Rd are the worst tailgating pricks (yes tradies are def #1 offenders) who sit 1m from your ar5e even though there's 2 lanes full of traffic and at least 1+ cars directly in front of you holding you up.. I don't know what/where they expect me to do/go but some of them don't even back off when they have brakelights suddenly flashing them even now and again.. use Bec's method when really necessary too.. even if it holds up 5 more cars behind them.. some people just don't get the msg tho.. and they are all out today of course, grr.

One other problem is at the Montague St entrance to the Westgate.. they do not look at all before they move into the left lane.. (its added lanes not a merge).. had to swerve/brake a few times now to avoid having a fatal collison with a truck or 3.

The other thing that really annoys me is morons who think they need to prove that their sh1tboxes are faster than the 180, and try to cut me off or change lanes RIGHT in front of me only to go under the speed limit. Doesn't happen even half as much in the 32 gah.

You guys don't have enough bandwidth for the rest of my ranting..

i have a problem/bad habit of having about 4" of ass crack peeking out of the top of my jeans on a daily basis if that counts

lol

but seriously, tailgating or ppl who sit in the right hand lane on a fwy doing 70 kms

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
