You dont need to be racing to smash and die.

hehe i wouldnt be racing lancers haha.

In all seriousness, taxis shouldnt be allowed on the road, simple reason because they think they own it and when i plow one over with my landcruiser jacked up with a bullbar the media will b like "18 year old p plater hunting down taxis" when really he got in my way.

mmm... ** scratches head in annoyance** taxiz are another pet hate of mine on the road. I always point and laugh :mellow: , when a shitty stock lancer try’s to have a go, and get them to lip read " you got to be Farkn kiddin". Then they power off [ use the term loosely] in a hugh. lol

as u c with the fotos the taxi would have come out without looking and the lancer had no choice but to slam into its left hand front quarter destroying most of the car.

of course it's the taxi's fault.

He should not have assumed the lancer was going at the speed limit, and therefore he would have enough time to pull out safely... it's his fault the lancer was allegedly doing 110km/h.

I don't think taxi drivers have the best driving craft, but as if the lancer was not contributory. The fact that you so ferverently argue that it's all the taxi's fault shows an immaturity to driving behaviour. Do you condone that it is OK to speed if the driver is 'talented'? Let me guess - It's OK for me to speed because I have excellent driving skills - you have to look out for the real idiots out there - they're the one who pull out and crash into you.

I'd like for once to see high performance owners taking responsibility for actions.

exactly this person has killed a 15 year old passenger in his car (lancer) and an innocent taxi passenger and critically injured others..... taxi fault my ass.

My message to the driver:

Take responsibility for your lack of skill and judgement, you messed up, you killed innocent people sad i know but is no-ones fault but yours.... if you were doing the limit and the taxi pulled out no doubt it would have had another outcome...most likely non fatal.

i pass on all my condolences to the family of all involved including the driver, truly a sad and preventable waste of life.

well said ronin and trent...

Both are at fault yes. But how many taxi's these days do you see just pull out and could easily get t boned... Its one too many

Alot of people i know of who are excellent drivers get in prangs. Either someone tbones them or they tbone someone else.

Condolences to all involved.

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
