Seems like whenever there is a horrible car crash the driver survives most of the time, and one or more passengers are killed.

Ok here the thing you come waking round the corner hand in hand with Lockie to the sound a screeching tyre's and a wrx screaming towards you no time to move or even say save me Jesus, you and Lockie are pinned to the stobie your knocked out cold and Little Lockie didnt stand a chance killed instantly, you wake up 3 months later from a massive brain heamoridge you ask to see Lockie not knowing he has been killed.

a little dramatic i think not you were with me the night we saw a young lady killed on the side of the road run over in the prime of her life

yeah bunny, steve is religious, church goer etc and I look up to him (yes you madaz!) for that, although its not my belief

200% I know steve would have said his prayers for the deceased.

rip, and I hope many many ppl can learn from this.

++++++

now, big one. will effect my mind at night for a long long time

last night I picked up my 2.5yr old Deontae from child care, on walk home he ran across the road when I said "after this car" and he was mm from being killed 1m in front of me

so so scary. speeding car, not holding hands for a moment (oh god never again, I cant forgive myself for what happened yesterday), standing partially behind a parked car so child coulnt be seen by van driver,

he bolted as soon as I said "after......" and I couldnt do anything. so helpless with no knees, just could not move fast enough 1m to my front/left to grab him - no stability to move quickly.

van saw him and swerved (no brake lights) very minimally, then realized what happened. came back and abused me angrily, tarago full of family/kids, they were off their tap, understandably. all I said was Im sorry about 5x.

if she didnt move the steering wheel to the right by 5mm, it would have been death - I saw it in a flash, deontae flung 30m to the sidewalk, almost dead life and death.

I see preminitions, life choices like dejavu where there are 2 choices right there and then, and 2 outcomes, both that massively effect your life path. Ive had these visions since childhood, and see things what can happen and then what does happen, all in a split second.

I saw what almost happened to my child.

It was horrible, seeing for 0.1sec him hit and in the air for 30m, then the .1sec of life/death after being hit, then the actual event the next .2sec where the van sped past and missed by half a foot.

wow

to the van driver, Im sorry, but I thank god you were attentive enough to make an adjustment to your steering.

everyone , slow down in metro area where kids could be.

Thats a nice fanciful story there steve but it hardly justifies the comment about wrx owners learning their lesson...yes, shit happens but an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. The driver is going to have to live with the fact he killed somebody. Isn't there a christian saying about 'turning the other cheek'?....

-D

whats so sad here is that the deceased had his life xroad path in front of him when he decided to get in that seat, not at the accident scene.

so far back in time (when got in car), so innocent as far as his choice to do so instead of not getting in car, but getting in that seat, saying whatever ie "nice corner" 5minutes before or something, each minute there are life xroad choices............., such a simple and innocent personal choice (to get in car) ended his life.

see it in your eyes, learn a lesson. just be so careful, we wield the power of life and death over other people.

make your choices wisely

hmmm, I can definitely see 2 sides here.

1./ The hoon drivers out there (not just WRX drivers) definitely need to learn a lesson from this....if someone killed my kid from hoon behaviour, there would be 2 funerals & 1 imprisonment. My dad would always say, "Learning from other people's mistakes is always better than learning from your own".

2./ You have to feel compassion for all involved, including the driver.........we can't imagine how this will affect the rest of his and his familiy's lives from here on.

yeah, reading this and what happened to me / deontae last night - really hits home for me

just got to be that 5% more careful in metro area

never had accident, and am so careful, but really we all need to be on the ball.

100% concentration

You've taken that out of context Ben and too many people use that as an excuse to turn a blind eye to the wrong doings of others.

That quote was directed at people about to kill a female for prostitution when some of them had been guilty of the same or worse

I don't think I've taken it out of context, simply because it (as a saying) has become part of western life. I'm sure some of the dickheads out there who are beating their chests about this have done stupid things aswell. Cause lets face it, nobody is a saint, nobody leads a flawless life, and therefore people should look in the mirror. I love it how hypocritical this society is. Say one thing, do the other...

Are we all going to heap shit on someone for a stupid stupid mistake? I'm not. If you guys want to hate on, thats your prerogative, I for one would prefer to forgive and live without the bad karma.

-D

Edit; incidentally, if the men were going to stone a prostitute and were guilty 'of the same or worse' does that mean they were all whoring themselves?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
