Theres this one f**king pot hole at innaloo opposite fitness first that keeps on popping up and getting refilled. I have nearly fell into it a few times when driving my car.

Anyway i saw some dude in a supra fall into it . get out of his car and was like ULLLEEEH WTF FFF WTFF FFUUUUUU for like 30minutes when his rear bar had a scratch/exhaust..

The pot hole is like a meter long by 50cm. enough for a tyre, and i never see the big chunk of removed bitumen around when its a pothole? WTF is it.

Takes them like f**king 7 days to fill it too.

Mill point ramp to Kwinana northbound.

Annoying bump towards the bottom of the ramp I need to brake for. It's a big metal 'joint' in the road between sections.

Lol that reminds me of the above ground parking near Ace Cinemas in Midland. They have those metal things to cover the wiring, but turns out they are also a real intense speed bump. They make them so pointy it is almost a little wall lol

i've got the winner guys, if you have ever used a GPS to go down to Prevelly(in Margaret River) it takes you down this sorta backstreet, ALL 6KM OF IT is potholes, took me 25mins to drive through it in my Aristo, which i had just picked up less than 2 weeks before (coilovers with stiff as springs and 19's with 35 profile tires) it was so dam horrendous!! felt like i was going to rattle the car apart! you eventually get to this intersection, the road wasnt on the map, but i wasnt going to torture my missus, my car or myself any longer, turns out that turn off i took led me to the place directly, stupid GPS!

Dunno how many of you have been to Mundaring and Chidlow, that sort of area, but it is f**king terrible up there. And they always fix the part of the road that doesn't need to be fixed, like there will be one little pot hole and they will dig up a 20 meter section of road and repave it all, while 1km further down the road there is a section with pot-holes the size of Europe and corrugations like the alps, and they never fix those bits! F ucking Mundaring shire :banana:

Man Its Chidlow LOL What Do U Expect, at leat mundaring fill theres up 6 months later lol

John sanders dve between harbourne at and selby st north, head west along that

stretch of road in the rh lane with a kitted or low enough car and wait for the bottom out

then there's another heading north along harbourne st inthe left lane as your coming

up to the Audi dealer, it drops down then bang, straight back up

and finally if you're quick enough to get the green light and want to live the fast and furious

moment you can sing thru the lights at Hepburn and wanneroo heading west, mate hit

that in his vl too quick once and a spring dropped out :(

Anyone that fills up at BP in midland? All those speed bumps and pot holes and small but steep hills that kill lowered cars in between the BP and the Thirsty Camel? Yeh that area is intense!

I wish he F**k they'd do something about that. If you come into the drive thru from the east there is no other straight line out but over the second worst speed hump in the Perth metro!!!!!

I wondered when someone would mention that stretch. John at Wheels World uses that strip as a test track to setup suspensions & coilovers, so basically if your not setup correctly you'll bottom out.

Haha yeah was always a fun spot to hit before I got coilovers

there's also a point my mate beached his commodore on pulling into the deli down the road from

the police station on scab beach rd, haha I had to get out and rock his car onto the back wheels

Worst potholes are the ones where you actually know they are there but u forget while driving over them. You cringe while saying farrrk saaake.

And for south of river people, holla if u been to hungry jacks carpark in spearwood lately. That shet should be a testing ground for 4wd's. you got speed humps that when u try to dodge and go around, ur car actually falls into a dark abyss. should be called the new bermuda triangle. But dont fix it ay, oh great council you. All these missing people out there in the world.. they should be searching for them at hungry jacks spearwood.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
