Ok, this annoyed me, only found out last night.

Kids that rip off Badges.

I'm looking after my friends RX-8 and drive it only once a week to keep things going, so I take it to Badminton on Tuesdays at UC. Only noticed last night that someone scrapped off the Badge, scratching the paint and making a mess of the boot. They even scrapped off the 3 parts individually.

the 'RX' the little ' - ' and the '8' what the hell are you suppose to do with that? it's not like you can do much with a ' - ' they could of just bought a one piece one for $20 or so and it would of been new, now I feel really bad since it's a friends car and the boot is scratched.

I wish there was tougher punishment for stupid crimes like this, chop off a finger or something, it will give people a second thought before doing anything stupid.

end rant.

badgers are scum of the earth man :rofl: over the course of 2 weeks pretty much every badge was removed from my datsun... i didnt notice this due to it being under a cover and i never drive it, so they had to actually undo the car cover and get under it to badge it... goddam little fkrs...

i havent checked my car for debadgements... i should do so :P

My hate of taxi drivers has just increased after being run over by one this morning.

The little green man was flashing as I crossed the road and a cab came flying around a corner and clipped me - out of reflex I punched the window but did not break it :) .... bastard just drove off.

f**king real estate agents they are in my opinion now up there at the top of worst people in the world (with the exception of veilside and or a couple of others who had done the right thing in the past)

Found out today that the house that we were really keen on buying that was meant to go to auction next weekend was sold with out us getting a call. The even more annoying thing is that i have heard that by law they have to call all interested parties and notify them, they then have 24 hours to put in a better offer... well we didnt even get a f**king call and to cap off the frustration the property went for under what we were willing to pay for it... dslgsdlkgjklsed f**kING BS...

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god i don't think i have been this pissed off in a long time... i will be taking this further what a f**king dodgy real estate agent... Peter blackshaw... POOR EFFORT!!!

I hate how my wing (on my car), gets in the way of my rear view vision.

The rear wing is fine , but some things shit me with my car

-The rear window when cleaning the inside i can`t get the bit down the bottom

-The clock , I can only see the time when i go around corners

-Handbrake , i cant grab it when i am in reverse hand too fat

-Oil and fuel filters , what a stupid spot to put them

Agree with that. The oil filter i guess i can understand as unless they use a relocation kit there is not anything you can do about it... but the fuel filter damn with my fairly fat hands as well it makes it quite hard to get a good grip on it.

-Oil and fuel filters , what a stupid spot to put them

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
