Dumb Stuff You Just Shouldn't See On The Road!


Recommended Posts

I followed a winnabego today.. that sucks!

but can somebody please explain y such a slow, underpowered, pentioner insipered vehicle like that would be towing a MASSIVE caravan?

Isn't the whole concept derived from the fact that u don't need to drag a van?

I'm confused.. :D

Hyundai acsent with 15 inch chromies, pea shooter cannon, chopped springs, 5 guys wearing fluro head bands (looking like Duran Duran groopies, massive HSV sticker on the side yelling at an innocent guy driving to work in a 33 to take em' on off the line. Ha Ha Ha. For a 2003 model car i have never seen so much exhaust smoke. Did not even waste fuel on them......and i still cruised off in front of them without boost. What a laugh, made the rest of my night really enjoyable. Did i mention the massive drift wing. Wow, the hsv traction was unbelievable :)

autosalon compeditor stickers on stock standard cars ??? wats the go there???

Mitshubsi Outlander with NISMO stickers on eitherside of the doors right next to it his mate in green toyota kluger with rallyart shiny stickers on front doors ... must be mix n match year

Duran Duran groopies?

how old are you man?? :P

but I hear ya!

Today was a very weird for me.. I didn't see one crazy thing!

Probably because I spent most of the day fitting a new timing belt and stuff.

But yesterday I saw a late model lancer wagon with.. well, i think NO springs! none at all. looks like it is bouncing off its bump stops! Where are the cops when u need them!

well not really a road more of a dirt road going around the other side of qr, i hitched a ride with this VT calais around to turn 3 as i cudnt b stuffed walkin and he was doin skids in the grass and dirt i felt like sucha tool!!!!

I vote that NZ homemade quad motorbike with the Subaru EJ20 (WRX) engine FTW!

Don't have pics handy, but they were doing the magazine rounds a few years ago.

AS if the WRX's didn't have enough go-go already without dumping the puffer into a 4-wheel motorbike!!

WRX's dont....WRC ones do...and that quad bike does. :(

a magna with chromies and scopes and exhaust....when we people work out that you are a wanker if you do that...it doesnt even look good, sound good, or go good..

farken..

does 2 out of 3 cut it. Skid pan, track days. shove drifting where the sun dont shine. Its for flat cappers who cant drive. (usually silvias and 32's)

Aint no dungers out there man, Some are just better than others. :(

hahaha

you havent done it and your saying its for people who cant drive. good one.

;) ^^^^^ :(

3 days ago i saw a falcon gt....... u know how they have the raised bonnet hump?? well there was one of those 50 dollar bonnet scoops on top :) rewined the car completely

good thing he owns a ford then, and doesn't own a nissan..

we might have to do things to prevent him from touching another car..

Anybody seen the new 'Roush Mustang'? Performax International (Corvette Qld)

have the new Shelby GT's, I gotta admit, the Shelby touch is VERY visable!

I have not been able to see under the bonnet yet..

but i suspect its a supercharged version!

Speeking of the Shelby, They also have a full black, no chrome.. totally sinister looking, darth vader type of a beast out the front.. it 'looks' mean.. really MEAN. Everything is black, even the light sorrounds, grill and.. well everything is BLACK!

If I remember.. I'll take a foto next week.

Cant wait to see one cruising down the road..

was probably a shaker, meant to look like one of the original gt falcons but a cheap copy

lol no no no no not one of those old school shaker otherwise known as super roo

like a new ford gt bright almost fluro orange with black decals and the scoop was black plastic unpainted!

if someone did that to one of the old gt's id get out stand infront of the car and ahve a quiet word hehehehe

Saw a VN wagon yesterday With wanna be drifter tape holding the front and rear VT Clubby bumpers on to the car with temple of chrome shit looking 17s on it with massive chrome GReddy Stickers all over it.

Maybe Greddy are doing Twin TD-06 kits for the old buick V6s now.....might get one for my VR

Gold Magna with stock steal rims with goldish coloured chrome looking stick out type hubcaps

Then i pull up beside and hear like shit techno music really crap destortion from the stock stereo, then i notice "apexi" and "HKS racing" stickers accross the front guards...

:):(:)

I had to stare at the driver, point and laugh, he didnt like that... :D

    • FWIW, I've aerated oil, and cams snapped. You can figure out the rest 🥲
    • Depending on the hose, sometimes engine out is the easiest option  
    • Get an inspection camera up there. 
    • Yeah, but look at the margin in viscosity between the 40 and the 60 at 125°C. It is not very large. It is the difference between 7 and 11 cP. Compare that to the viscosity at only 90°C. The viscosity axis is logarithmic. The numbers at 90 are ~15 and ~35. That is about half for the 40 wt oil and <half for the 60. You give up viscosity EXPONENTIALLY as temperature rises. Literally. That is why I declare thicker oil to be a bandaid, and a brittle one at that. Keep the oil temperature under about 110°C and you should be better off.   Having said all of that, which remains true as a general principle, if you have indeed lost enough oil from the sump that the pump was seeing slightly aerated oil, then all bets are off. That would of course cause oil pressure to collapse. And 35 psi is a collapse given what you were doing to the engine. Especially if the oil was that hot and viscosity had also collapsed. And I would put money on rod or main bearings being the source of the any noise that registered as knock. Hydraulic lifters should be able to cope with the hotter oil and lower pressure enough to prvent too much high frequency noise, although I am willing to admit it could be the source.
