There are a lot of crazy drivers out there and the slightest thing ticks them off. I once “apparently” cut someone off while overtaking them… so he speed past me, gets back into my lane and literally stands on the brakes. He was driving one of those old beat up commodores with no abs and there was smoke everywhere. He stops in the middle of the road and blocks a whole lane, so I change lanes and drive past him and give him a stare. He ends up following me for the next 3-4 minutes driving like a real hoon and almost loses it around a roundabout. All I saw was smoke in the rear view mirror. I was pretty close to work and didn’t want him knowing where I work so I eventually stop and put my window down & he gets out and starts abusing me. I lose him at the next intersection, but was definitely a scary moment. I always drive really careful around old commodores now especially if they look like they’re modified or there’s a young guy at the wheel.

had an idiot cutting all through traffic yesterday......he cut me off...i sorta raised my hand and just shook my head....but realised, its no point....the guy was doing it to everyone - eventually he will get beaten up....so meh....

wasnt in my skyline either so wasnt that worried...i figure if he crashed into my civic, i will get more back from insurance....than selling it

I was coming home from work one afternoon travelling on the highway so doing the speed limit and there was a vt commodore (nothing against commodore drivers) cutting in and out of the traffic for about 3-4 kms. There were two cars in front a ute with a country looking guy behind the wheel he sorta looked like troy dan and also a ladie in a bmw in front of him.

Im not actually sure weather he clipped her or just cut her off but all of a sudden the traffic come to a complete stop everyone had locked up there brakes in the right lane, this was 5 in the afternoon so the traffic was quite heavy on the bruce highway and troy dan jumped out and went up and asked if the ladie was ok. so the guy driving the commodore hopped out of his car, when he approached troy dan and the lady, troy dan threw a punch at the commodore guy, he ended up chasing him about a 100 metres down the grassy strip in the middle of the highway trying to lay into him while there cars were parked in the right lane of the highway this went of for a good 5 to 10 minutes traffic was backed up for ages, anyway the guy in the commodore bolted back to his car and took off.

Its something you dont see everyday, i found it pretty funny, you just dont know what some people will do.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
