Help Needed By Someone Not Terrified Of Spiders


Recommended Posts

I remember going on the first date with my current girlfriend, a huntsman walked across the inside of the windscreen. I shat myself, but put on a brave face, calmly pointed it out and then killed it for her (it was in her car).

Now that she knows who I really am she can kill her own damn spiders.

Close your eyes and eat it, good protien and it's what your body would do as a reflex if you were asleep.

So why not?

Also It has been said they taste like Thai chicken.

A insecticide like "Baygon" External is useful, you'll need to spray all along your external windows and door jam, all around, not just the bottom. and create a barrier. Good for every 3-6 months. As summer is approaching, all these insects, they get active again, looking for food, that's why they're all coming out. I would squeeze any little spiders I found but those big ones are so disgusting I would use an insect spray and won't bother to risk getting it all splatered over, and wait till they're through their agonising death and vacuum it or sweep it away with a broom.spraying your tyres with external barrier insect spray might be a good idea. after all they will need to climb through something, tyres...

Worst I ever had was an evil looking black one out the back, near the door. Didn't want the dogs to get bitten, so I crushed it.

Ever seen those movies, where they kill something, and it 'dissolves' into a million other little somethings?

Exactly what happened. I would almost swear that there were more little spiders than the big spider had bodyweight originally.

As soon as I stomped it, it literally looked like it melted into a million little evil looking spiders, and it wasn't until after we took care of them (with spray, of course :bunny:), that I found the original dead one.

Scared the absolute crap out of me.

well i cant help you any more only suggestion is to get a b/f and looking at this thread no one from here as most of us are probably bigger girls than you are when it comes to spiders :bunny:

it was a mumy spider

Heh, I had a pet trapdoor spider as a kid, used to pop flies/bugs/etc into the aquarium with it and it was the coolest how it popped open it's little trap door to grab them and eat them. Had a huntsman and a brown snake too but my sister dobbed me in and I had to let them go :bunny:

Mummy Spider - it carries hundreds of its babies, all poisonous ones, on her back for about 40 days...

Here's an article with photos that will guarantee tingle your spine...

yuk, thats evil.

But that shape is more what my spider looked like than the old huntsman.... D Day is tomorrow, still dont know If Im going to drive it, yet am very reluctant to return the car to the offending garage where the whole crisis begun!

Seriously who owns a spider as a pet? Weird...do they come when you call....lol

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
