Fully sick bogan rice bro!

It makes me feel like putting on a black pair of jeans and a flannelette checked shirt, walking while draggin my knuckles, drink 2 litres of boubon, go to an AC/DC concert, pick up a moll, then do heaps of burnouts in my V8 Falcodore!

He must be chasing some serious down force.

On a similar note a fully sick bright yellow POS holden with a mega awesome spoiler moulded into the boot, thought it would be awesome to cut in front of my truck the other day in the rain, on a light that was going orange (being a truck I would not have stopped), only to slam his breaks on so he could be first for the green light. Then had the nerve to poke his head out the window and have a go at me for nearly scratching his $2 paint work. only to soon turn around and gun it when I started abusing him and his car and reaching for metal things to throw at him. I thought I was going to lock it and send him into the middle of the intersection.

and for reference I am from SOR, and I was NOR (i'm assuming he was from NOR too), hehe

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
