This is an angry rant on my behalf.

Now i live on the diamond creek side of eltham.. only a hop skip and a jump away from kinglake and St. Andrews, the fires have affected us all in some way or another, whether it be ourselves or someone we know some how..

living fairly close to the devistation i know quite a few people who have been badly affected by all this! fortunatly not myself dirrectly.

Anyhow driving out to a mates place in hurstbridge tongiht, i'm following this wrx... next thing *BAM* flash of orange light ... the douche bag has thrown this lit ciggarette butt out the window, i was so enraged at this point and trying to memorise his rego whilst following him so i can give him a blasting!

especially with the fires still fresh in our mind, and mind you still allight allover the state can people be so careless and do such a thing.. it just makes me so angry!

last time i checked 2002 wrx's have perfectly good ash trays!

unfortunatly i was so angry and not having a pen and paper, i forgot the rego!

he quickly swerved off and drove down a side road in hurstbridge (5 or so minutes drive from St.Andrews where about 23 people died in the fires) so assuming he lives there he should be well aware of the area and the fire hazards and dangers!

so to the 40+ year old driver... YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER YOU #$%^#$% IDIOT, not only are you littering, you could have potentially started another fire!

GGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

That's amazing!

Why on earth would someone do such a thing?

Perhaps he flicked it out on habit, completely forgot what area he was in.

In any case, you should never flick cigarette butts out the window.

Would have been good to get his rego.

That's why I carry a note pad & pen in the car.

Couldn't count how many rego's & car description I have written down and submitted to EPA.

No stereo types either, luxury car drivers, elderly drivers, P platers, Soccer Mums... I don't care who they are!

DO NOT DUMP YOUR CIGARETTE WASTE OUT OF YOUR CAR :D

Which reminds me, I have to report a P plater who threw his lit but out the passenger window and into the langwarrin flora and fauna reserve off Warrandyte Rd last night.

Unbelievable!!

Couldn't agree more guys, have you all noticed how many small fires there have been along our freeways latley? One guess why! Friend of mine saw a guy throw a butt out his windows at Knox and start a fire in the garden. Pick them up and throw them back in the car I say :D

Agree with Nate, however I smoke once in a blue moon in my car, usually after a tough day.

I am surprised there isn't a bit of an awareness campaign focusing on bush fires and cigarette butts in addition to the normal "don't litter" msg.

I always try to make sure I have a drink with me so i can put my cigarettes out in that once ive finished - I ash out the window tho and have lost it with the wind a few times and even had my seat cover burnt :D *damn you cigarettes!*

shit when i walk to work and i throw my butt out and i miss stepping on it i purposely turn around and make sure that its out. Must be all the fire talk.

How about you try using a bin, maybe you wont have that problem then huh!? You smokers dropping butts all ove the ground really give me the shits - you're just as bad as the people throwing them out the window.

thats why you use the mirror as a windshield when you ash lol

Maybe it's time you finally quit fool :D Stop putting it off!

ahh im going to have to try this on the way to work soon lol

I also find that ash flys back and hits the plastic/rubber on the door frame and it gets all these white dots and I need to rub them off and then even worse is when ash blows into the back and on the seats - its like vacuuming sand off my back seats.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
