LOL i had forgotten about this, for all the trolls who cant quite read between the lines...i was kidding, as in joking, as in having a laugh as in..well you get the idea.

As for trees whizzing past in Maq pass etc, you dont need to break the speed limit for that to scare the crap out of you!

Is true. Mac Pass is quite an exhilarating drive, even at the limit.

Thread revival

I was beginning to think this was bullshit until this morning - spotted RTA boys ripping the Angledale (north Bega) speed camera out of the ground, and a local council truck going to town on the "speed camera ahead" signs. No more camera!

i always have a good giggle at people being done there... sure they're trigger happy, but people go flying up to get through and get done anyway... just wait and save yourself $230 or so?

...or the risk of t-boning a car that has gone through a set of lights when they are GREEN. It often stuns me when I roll up and stop at a set of lights as they've gone orange and see someone two cars back still go through that same set of lights - surely if I could stop in time, they could too, right?

On that basis, there are plenty of sets of lights I use that I ALWAYS double-check when the lights change to green, even if I'm a few cars back from the intersection.

My missus was involved in an accident just like you are describing; she entered a dual lane intersection from a freeway off ramp, on a green light. As she got into the middle of the intersection, she was hit between the D/S B pillar & rear wheel by a guy running the light; doing about 70- 80km/h.

This guy must've missed the yellow by at least 5-10 secs

There was a car (to her right) stopped in the lane closest to the gutter, so she wouldn't have been able to see this dope even if she'd wanted to. The lane closest to the centre island was empty, so he figured he'd just bowl through.:blink:

If he'd been there a little earlier, she'd have copped it square in the drivers door, and judging by the damage to the rear passenger door, she would've almost certainly ended up with a broken leg/hip/pelvis and possibly head injuries from hitting the window. The amount of bruising she ended up with was incredible; the whole right side of her body, from shoulder to knee; she was completely black.

I used to just belt out on the green; but since then, I'm much more observant. On a motorbike; you'd be dead.

Back on topic; they don't seem in to much of a hurry to remove the revenue raisers on that deathtrap of a straight piece of road; the M4...

yeah, i don't get why people are in such a hurry. who cares, it's 2-4 minutes of your life. change the track on your ipod, close your eyes for a second, have a breather. it's alllllll good.

wooooooosssaaaaaaahhh

3 to 4 minutes is a super long time to wait when you need to take a leak uber bad though!

      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.
