Morning Mangs,

Cut off a police car this morning and did skids in front of them. They didn't pull me over :D

you are doing well. they would have locked me up..

Morning.

Bad start to the day. Raging headache when I wake up, no pain killers in appartment and then I drop the nut off my negative terminal clamp into my engine bay and it doesn't come out the other side.

At least the rain seems to have f**ked off :)

LOL.

The full story is this:

Was ~4 or 5 cars back at a T junction, waiting to turn right. This particular T junction has very poor visibility to the left (crest) and is a fairly busy road.

Was waiting there for quite some time, and there was a number of large gaps in the traffic that the front car did not take. I assumed it must be a useless P-Plater/L-Plater/Woman, and was starting to get p*ssed off.

Anyway then the guy jumps out and asks the guy behind him for a push. I got out to help too, as did one or two others. It was a VP commo or something, and as we pushed it away there was a MASSIVE puddle of oil under it (like, the whole sump worth). Nasty.

So then we go back to our cars and proceed on our merry way.

Now by this time, there is a MASSIVE line up of cars waiting to turn right, and we have all been waiting some time as well, so the gaps being taken were perhaps a bit more optimistic than usual...

Anyway I get to the front of a line, see a gap and go for it. As pull out, a cop car comes flying over the crest to the left, but I am already halfway out into the first lane so I am committed.

So what I do is give it a bit of juice in order to get a hurry on and try not to cut the copper off too much, right. But of course, my rear tyres are now coverred in the oil that had vacated the afforementioned VP commo's sump, resulting in instant traction loss despite only a little throttle tap.

The end result of this was a beautiful sideways entrance into the lane I wanted to be in, right in front of the cop car I was busy cutting off... I thought I was going to be in for trouble for sure.

Anyway maybe half a km down the road is the train crossing I mentioned before, which we had to sit and wait for about a million trains to go through. Cop car was right behind me for the whole time, and then a few kms after as well before going our seperate ways.

I can only assume they left me alone for one/more of the following reasons

1) I suspect they were speeding, and knew it. They came flying over that crest

2) They spotted the puddle of oil and matching tracks leading to my wheels, and the broken down commo on the side of the road, and managed to put 2+2 together.

3) Pintara factor/end of shift/etc.

4) Good kharma repayment for helping to push old mate's car ;)

5) I am a god. The evidence has been there too long to keep denying it...

drive into underground carpark a kippa ring shopping centre around 10am

drive into the corner where there are no cars (ie. no chance of cars parking next to me and denting my doors)

auto headlights come on due to it being dark under there... thus lighting up more stuff and improving visibility...

turn the corner into a space and there is a guy (about 30ish) with his pants down doing a shit in the carpark native style...

not only that he waves while touching it (the poo) with his other hand...

i hit reverse cause i thought he was about to fling it... and go the hell outta there...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
