Was driving to work this morning and saw a tricked up Mitsubishi Lancer with the typical Evolution body kit, some kind of crappy pink/purple paint and chrome rims and I thought to myself "I REALLY hate those cars". Don't know what it is but they just plain piss me off. Now don't get too serious on me, I'm jut taking the piss here. Got me thinking, I wonder what kind of cars everyone else hates and why, here is my example -

Name - 1997-2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Gli (with hektik body kit)

Why I hate them - I don't mind them un-modded but HATE them with tacked on body kits, too many hero's drive them (and think they look good in them). I also hate the fact that everyone that mods them seems to think they sound awesome with those over sized cannon exhaust that drone like a trumpet.

Camry.

Bonus points: Sportivo.

My theory is that Camrys must be SO incredibly brilliant when you're actually in one that you forget the outside world exists. Because as far as I can tell Camry drivers have no idea there is anyone else on the road, or that there is even a road at all.

And sportivo drivers have that, plus when they do notice you trying to get past, they think "ah-hah! I paid for all the extra HP the stickers provide, I'm gonna show this guy how it's done!". Then you're stuck behind a moron erratically braking to 5kmph for corners / sitting on the speed limit in the right lane at every overtaking opportunity.

Oh son of rajab I hate Camrys.

I hate...awww how I hate!!!

Non model specific hatred......any car sitting in the right hand lane, any hypercolored/camelion p.o.s regardless of make/model and any Van-4wd that you can't see over or around. Also pretty much any re-badged car..korean holden anyone?

Have you seen VSPEC-34's car? im sure you would change your mind.

+1 for hektik lancers.

Also Hyudai Excel Drivers that go full hektik like lancer drivers. ESPECIALLY those that drive with that annoying red rear fog light on all the time!

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
