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.

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
