me & my friends were heading to bondi beach this afternoon when we saw a vanilla evo5 wrx flying pass my car... we came to rest at the lights... i was like 5cars behind him and he was right behind a van ... i changed to the right lane coz my friend wanted to check out that car... so i did, and when my friend looked at that car apparently the owner was looking at us too...:P

the light changed to green, having to pay $1396 speeding fine by tomorrow i had no intention of getting involved in street racing action... both the van and my car was going at 60kmh and we unintentionally boxed in the impatient young wrx driver... the wrx suddenly changed to the left lane.... ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE WERE WHOLE HEAP OF WITCHS HATS COZ OF THE ROAD WORK... and he actually hit one of them.. we were laughing soooooooo hard...

but the funnier thing was when he finally flew past me with "style"... i think all wrx owners should try this... hehe... THE WITCHS HAT HE HIT GOT STUCK ONTO HIS EXHAUST JUST B4 THE CAT CONVERTER.... :P :shake: i think he will have a very hard time taking the half melted witchs hat off his hot hot exhaust.... hahahaha

don't know if i should reveal the no plate...

WRX owners have feelings too!

Hehe, funny story.

On a related topic, I also enjoy blocking in crazy fast drivers (or ricers) when I get the opportunity. I don't know what it is, but I get immense satisfaction watching them try and get around the block, it makes my day.

Of course, being a safe and responsible citizen, this never happens to me. :)

ed : no no i didn't smell any burning rubber coz he turned left at the next lights.... maybe he was too embarrased...

and i wasn't intentionally boxing in the wrx... i was just going at 60kmh and so was the van... :uh-huh:

maybe that guy still has witchs hat hanging under his car and wondering what the !@#$ is the weird smell... hehe.. (about 2months ago, when i get into my camry and drive it , i would smell something burning.... like plastic or something... i found out at next service day that big plastic bag was full melted and got stuck onto the pipe... :P

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
