I've had to drive about late at night the last few days and i must say - definitely looking forward to winter.

Or at least the car is. Wastegate lets off that much louder, boost is just a smidge bit bigger, car is that much more responsive.

Mmmmm, cool weather.

my tyres dont like the rain today :) im getting super happy SCAREY slides everywhere...

i should take a defensive driving course... anyone done it?

Steer into the skid.

Buy decent tyres.

Do a bunch of motokhana's.

be happy and merry :P

Loving the weather, gave my car a fair bit for the first time since owning it, love my car even more than before :)

Not liking the wet though, crossing Barton Hwy from Murrambateman road to the next street at peak time is a bastard as it is but crossing in the wet... I pooed a little.... im still not over crashing my old car in a slide

I've done a defensive driving course with Dereck from 5th gear. I'd advise everyone to do one, he really explains stuff well and it's good to know how to drive safer. It also teaches you a bit more about how your car handles in unepected situations.

mmm.... cool weather is good. my car hates the heat so mush that it mis-fires and idles rough every time i drive i drive it. as soon as the temp drops to mid to late 20's, car works fine and goes like hell... ;)

Done the same as well, from memory around 225$ or so, some skidpan work and how to brake in emergency situations. Good day.

    • 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.
