i was at a set of lights behind some bogans in a typical bogan car, and they failed to pay attention when the lights went green - the guy behind me beeped and they thought it was me.

when they started driving they threw a full can of redbull out of their car hoping to hit my bonnet i assume.

i swerved sucsessfully (thank you maxxis super grippy tyers) and when i pulled up next to them at the traffic lights i taked to them through my window, pulled my disconnected horn out of my steering wheel and told them that i didnt beep them cos i dont have a connected horn

they were like omg sorry, thought you were being a bitch.

I was leaving for work about 5am one fine Saturday morning, and some lovely group of guys (no doubt on their way home from Friday night antics) decided it would be amusing to try and play silly buggers with me. Started swerving into my lane, and when we pulled up at the lights and they proceeded to shout obscenities from the window of their ute.

When I promptly refused to 'take the bait' (noting we were about 100m from local cop shop) they took off, but slowed down again to about 30km/h, i slowed down too since i didnt fancy pulling up next to them for fear of being swerved off the road.. they threw their maccas out the window at my car :( They missed me but that could have been messy.

I pulled into the bus port so they pulled away, but my god it made me mad.

I don't fancy being run off the road just because im in an import and some bogans in a white ute decide they dont like jap cars. It doenst make sense.

Beth...it's a young mans way of saying " I likes U baybeeee"...or " we're completely retarded and have no idea how to relate to any person in a meaningful way including the morons in this car"

I was at the Shell servo last night filling up my bike. Long story short, asshole 1 (brown pulsar) parks short of the pump so asshole 2 (brown VN cyl) takes offence, then its verbal including A2's GF, then it escalates to "come on XXXX what are ya , come on have a go" then A2 pushes A1 car about 2m then A1 takes off. A2 then apologises to trhe audience...i'm not sure for what..being a knob,?not wearing anything but a pair of boardies in public? swearing like a trooper? cheap tatoos? $4 haircut? brown commodore? Anywho A2 finishes his chest thumping and is suprised that his front bar is misaligned and now his shi7box is making a new noise. The stupid and ignorant should not be allowed to breed.

was in my mates liney and we were cruising up near the freeway entrance at joondalup when we spotted a hot lookin late model mercedes benz, so we cruised up closer to get a better look. when we got next to it my mates car let of a low flutter when he hoped of the gas, anyways the f**kn buisness man prick must have taken offence to this, no idea why and he starts cutting us off for no reason and pulling finger signs and shit, everytime we wud try to get past he wud cut us off and then brake hard on the freeway!!!, he was even driving in the middle of the two lanes so we culdnt get past

funny thing was some middle aged bogan looking dude in a falcodore saw what was happening and threw an orange at the merc hahaha,

talk about unexpected allie

i was stopped at a set of lights the other day when for no apparent reason and with no pror warning some sxxxhead in a green landrover jumped out kicked my door and sped off through the red light. luckily i'm guessing he kicked the door where it meets the pillar cos i couldn't find any damage, either that or he was piss weak.

has anyone else in a black r34 pissed off a rover driver? lol. weirdness

lol ive had that happen before on the freeway, you just happen to have a little bit of flutter and people think you are 'hooning' around - seems to provoke a lot of anger, which you cant but attribute to some level of jealousy :(

This is weird and odd! what's with the Rover drivers?? lot's of stories about them! Even me a couple weeks back on Alexander drv one night, Rover comes driving up fast on the right lane to pass by me, as he is about to pass swerves towards me coming damn close! I backed off and kept my distance, he didn't seem to try anything else after that! :worship:

if i spot a car load of bogans cruising in their aussie machines,i make sure not to make any flutter noises,cause as ive found out b4 it pisses people off and i like my new paint job the way it is!,,sum import drivers do take the whole pssssh thing a bit far,i was in the girl friends cute lil excel the other day when a 33 decided he needed to gear bak to 2nd right near our window then hit 3rd,then 4th,and then bak to 3rd, then 4th again,what a nob!!!,,made me wanna hurl my subway in to his windscreen.

yeah true, was on tonkin a while back, this r32 just kept fluttering near us, it became annoying to some extent then he sped off, it's different changing gears and the flutter occurring cause that's what it has to do, but then it's another thing doing it on purpose to get attention..

Wasn't me was it?:)

I can't help fluttering.. due to the small turbo and tight bov, even casual driving causes flutters, only way I can make the bov sound normal is by driving hard!

I hate it but I'm used to it now, not quite as annoying as it was originally.

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
