Hey everyone.

I was just driving home from newcastle, and on the hume highway (was going around 115ish) over took this proton with two blokes that barely fit in it because they were going real slow.

So after over taking them the then sped up and sat right next to me, i looked over and they were both staring at me and my girlfriend, we ignored them and continued for 5-10 minutes, slightly glancing over to see that they were still staring.

we then slowed to the 80 km road works and he was then slowing down and flogging it past me.

what did he expect?? to race me over 120??

just wondering if you sydney people get this sort of crap on a regular basis???

Lol, I saw a POS EB Falcon the other night, every panel a different colour; trying to chase a Gallardo through traffic!:rolleyes:

The Gallardo slotted a couple of neat gaps and took off; honestly I could see the Falcon plowing into the back of the Lambo the way he was carrying on.

And if he'd somehow managed to get in front of the Gallardo he have been all "Yeah moit; I farken burned off a Lambo last night! Farken foreign shitbox...":rolleyes:

2 Sundays ago 2 P plate bogans in a Pulsar SSS wanted a run. I wouldn't play so at the next set of lights the driver started spitting at my car.

I got out of the car and started taking photos of him and his car, He then told me to FO.

I smiled and told him my brother is the Senior Sargent at Parramatta LAC and he will be talking to him soon. ...... He stopped spitting then.

Generally speaking I get everything from thumbs up to sheer abuse.

I had a fool in a Commodore ute lean out of the car one day and just violently spew out obscenities for no reason. He must have been off his tree as I didn't even understand what he was saying.

I get asked if I'm a drug dealer or criminal. (And no I'm neither!)

Service stations are interesting, I don't think I've ever filled up without someone making a comment.

I drive a VY Commodore as my daily and that's a lot less stressful.

This is what Jeremy Clarkson said about his Ferrari, and from experience I agree with him.....

Who SPITS?!?! Srsly, what is wrong with people :wacko:

I get hassled a bit, but never abusive. There's been a few times on my many trips up the Hume to Sydney where a carload of people have played for a long period of the trip.... speeding up next to me, waving out the window, slowing down so I overtake, then overtaking me again... REPEAT :rolleyes:

Gets slightly creepy when they don't just drive on, you wonder how long they're going to keep doing it for :/

I had a good one a few weeks ago,

I was going through the airport tunnel and a few local rock apes hanging out their beatup crap box trying to get me to give it a belt as they wanted to hear it. I ignored it for a bit but laughed my arse off when they called me a pussy and sped off... Only to be pulled over about 5 kms up the road....

I gave them a toot as I drove past! Haha

^Chick in a sports car, you must get a fair bit of attention though. Ever been given any numbers or is that too fast and the furious?

Clarkson also said, about his gallardo, he had to sell it because every yobbo in a peugeot tried to drag him lol.

I had something similar a few months ago after having dinner with some friends at hogs breathe at northmead. A p plater plusar with 5 lebs in it decided they'd spit at my 34 as i was turning onto james ruse drive, then tail gate me all the way along.

long story short, I let them follow me will they were good and lost in the back streets of oatlands and went on my merry way.

I had a guy chuck a ice cream at my window because He was being a douche and trying to over take me from the outside parking lane.

Actually one day when my partner was in his GTR some douche decided at the lights to spit on his car. Lucky for my partner and not so much for the passenger of the other car my partner had half full macca's cup and chucked it right into the window of the other car... lol... I believe they weren't impressed but somehow I don't think they will ever try that trick again.

Hahaha Dif I remember hearing that story before! Perfectly timed :D

I assume you're talking to me as YoYo's a guy :D

One time, again on the Hume, a car load of guys did what I already posted above but they also wrote their phone number on a big piece of cardboard and kept waving it out the window every time they went past me lol

Another guy was next to me at the lights at Rockdale and then followed me to where I parked at the shops and gave me his number.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
