I agree - if the government really gave a toss about the road toll, they would make defensive driver courses compulsory - with testing on skid pans, on gravel and in non-abs/power steering cars, to make sure you know what to do when you get in trouble.

They need to make the general license testing/renewing procedure much more stringent, especially for very young and very old drivers. I am on the road all day, and have at least 6 people do VERY dangerous things near/to me every single day. It's quite amazing I have havent been hit yet - but that's not for lack of other people trying.

On another note, they need to make the fine for:

- not indicating early enough/at all

- pulling out of a sidestreet in front of someone causing them to lock it up

- turning a corner into the centre lane

- sitting in the right hand lane anytime - especially on an 80km/h road

$1,000 per offense.

These simple things shit me to tears, and they seem to be getting worse every week. No wonder road rage is so prevalent. There is no excuse for these things - it is purely inconsiderate people who don't care about the road rules, and think other people will get out of their way to not hit them.

/end rant

Andrew,

Driving around Uni quite a bit I actually find middle aged women to be the worse, they are actually quite agro and I think they think they own the road. ;)

I've had so many of them pull out in front of me causing me to hit the brakes hard, I then see they are on their mobile phone. :D

There's ONE lady inparticular that I often see as I leave, without a doubt if I see her she always pulls out infront and doesn't accelerate. I've gave her multiple beeps as she's on the phone as she's always on the phone leaving work or what ever she does. Now she gives me the finger all the time.. lol

- not indicating early enough/at all

- pulling out of a sidestreet in front of someone causing them to lock it up

- sitting in the right hand lane anytime - especially on an 80km/h road <------------ This one needs to be enforced. I often see Learners with their parents sitting in the right lane cruising, damn I wish I was a cop more, I would inform the bad drivers that choose to ignore general courtesy road rules.

its more like, most of the p platers r the hoons, not some. whenever i c a p plater u can tell how they drive, always trying 2 change lanes and over take, taking corners fast, taking off at lights, etc etc. i had one this morning try overtake me on a bend (which could have been dangerous) so i taught him a lesson and cut him off n made him stay behind me all the way cos there was a truck infront going slow. ha take that.

..which proves ur just as bad ;)

(only joking, dont freak out :mage:) Im on my P's for 7 more days, but i stopped being a tool on the road long time ago (learned my lesson when my freind lost his life in a tragic accident).

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
