Frustrated Not Being Able To Drive...least 3 Months


Recommended Posts

has anyone had an injury and cant drive their pride n joy... well i cant drive my car for atleast 3-6 months til i get better.

left arm is out of action and i can only drive my auto family car. its been 5 days and im frustrated already. was at the gym last week when disaster struck. A loud pop from my chest muscle...result: a huge tear from my pec to my sholder, and a damaged tendon :D so much pain and swelling/ bruising

car is at the dyno tuners and i wont get a chance to drive her when shes ready too.. sucks :(

just thought id post this up as im havin a whinge. thank god i bought a xbox.

haha yeah i have been in the same boat mate, broke few bones in my hand and was told i couldnt drive a manual for 6 weeks. didnt stop me holding steering wheel with cast while shifting though haha. thank god i was livin in country at the time! was talkin to nath wen you guys were at hospital, was a funny conversation. he says u were tryin to impress da chicks haha :D

when i broke my left arm i still drove mine.

i drove my dads auto ford for the first few days then i said stuff this i'm gona drive my car.

even though it hurt every time i changed gears the satisfaction of driving my car took the pain away.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
