LOL at cutlery unification .... at the long-gone "Fairview Park Chinese" shop the old Chinese lady used to always ask when she presented your takeaway meal "You want spork"? And they were sporks too.

Me. I had Pete from PLMS do a quick road tune of my car once he installed the nistune daughterboard. Was good enough to drive home safely but he was quick to stress that a road tune is no substitute for a proper dyno tune

-D

actually a road tune with proper wide band sensor is better than a dyno tune but you have to be able to load the car up

Must be the day for old ladies to occupy all tellers at the bank :)

Another thing I hate ...

When you approach a red light, your lane is free, then a car from the other lane (with multiple cars) at the last minute moves across to get in front of you at the front of the lights. Then when the light goes green, they're the slowest car at the intersection. Why the f**k do they position themselves to pass the car in front of them, then proceed to not pass anything when they have a green light. ;)

And my vote also goes to the f**kwads who drive 60 in a 70 zone (or 50 in a 60), then just as you're about to pass them in another lane, they move over into your lane without indicating. :)

Happens on a daily basis Ruby. I had a moron flash his high beams and lean on the horn at me because I was doing 60 in a 60 zone and changed lanes in front of him while easily 2-3 car lengths in front of him. And he was in the right lane doing a max of 50.

Nearly every morning on the Port River Expressway there's someone doing 70-80 in the 90 zone and yes usually they're also in the right lane. Pretty sure a car got pulled over this afternoon doing about 60 in the 90 zone. Then there's those that change lanes without indicating, slow down at intersections (maybe waiting for a red light...?), those that speed up on yellow signals and run red lights, those that can't drive straight in their own lane and wander into both lanes, use the 3rd lane (the ones that merge into 2) at some intersections and then go slow enough to have to stop and allow traffic to their right pass..... and all because here in Adelaide there's too many fktards allowed on our roads. I could go on....

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
