I was talking to a pair of travelers during the week, one scotish and the other Canadian..

In a nut shell they made the following comments about us hot Qld ozzies..

'The babes are great..

none of you can drive!

its so stinking hot and sweltery with the humidity, that u can drink the air..

ur so laid back that u are to lazy to go to the fridge to get another beer, but take ur car park and its a battle to the death..

hamburgers dont have ham in them!

and what the hell is with none of u using indicators?'

After about 15min of trying to defend myself.. i had to agree!

So, the question beggs.. are they right?

I do a lot of driving per working week, and i gotta say- A lot of (even 'mature') people seem to drive like they're doing it for the first time. No; If you have right of way, and you stop for me for no reason, that doesn't make you generous... It makes you an out and out fuckwit

Ithink they were trying to make the point about our culture of being so easy goin.. then get into a car and.. well, all heck brakes loose.

I noticed nobdoy comented on the girls!

I personally loved their way of stating our climate.. drinking air!

Gonna have to agree with them!

My personal favourite is the people being in the right hand lane on the motorway thinking "oooooooh this is my exit !!" and whaddya know, they veer over 4 lanes of traffic to get where they need to be...blinker optional !!

Oh of course and yep Im great, being a babe and all :)

Well I have come down to Mackay from Darwin and try not to drive as much as I can during the day. People slow down in front of me when they see I have an import. My personal favourite is the psychic abilities I seem to be lacking when people turn, could make a nice wager about it "50 bucks they turn left".

Oh dear god... don't get me started. Karen and I just did a bit of a road trip over the weekend and we saw a huge amount of absolutely atrocious driving. We don't profess to be the greatest drivers in the world, but at least we put in some effort and we care about how our actions affect others. I suspect that the laid-back Aussie attitude also applies to their driving - "I'll just do this, and that person can just f-ing well get over it". Heaven forbid that somebody cuts THEM off though. It doesn't make the roads a friendly place to be.

well i am origionally from canada and have to say that most people cant drive here. most people indicate with the middle finger. and its even more noticeable when you add rain... just thank your lucky stars that here in australia we dont have snow on the ground for 4 months of the year,.... oh what a mess it would be.... however public transport would make 50 times as much as everyones cars would be at the panel beaters. We just need to adopt some of the car manufacturers standards on cars like "Driving Lights". You turn your car on and your driving lights are on automatically. its amazing how many people neglect to turn their headlights on when it starts to rain or its near dawn or dusk. sure you can see the car in front of you with his lights on, and dont need your headlights to illuminate it, but its your taillights that are the important thing. all the water sprayed up makes it harder to see anything infront of you. so what better to make yourself known to others then a few red lights on the back of your car... mind you the amount of people who actually neglect to check to see if these lights and brake lights are working in the first place.... well thats my rant... i do love this place but some people :P

I am from australia and most of the f**king drivers around here piss me the f**k off....so what does that say.

...It says you have even less patience with useless drivers than I do, and thats saying something! :P

lol just moved to brissy from melb, and I gotta agree with the driving... wtf... I know you guys are laid back, but hardly anyone speeds... or rather... hardly anyone goes at the speed limit... and they stay in the right lane... someone needs to put a whole bunch of "keep left unless overtaking" signs up on the freeways... sometimes when they sit next to each other on parallel lanes it looks like a rolling roadblock.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
