Ok, so I've been catching the bus to and from work for almost 13months now, and the other day i finished work and was waiting for the bus outside Harvery Norman home HQ (this isn't the first time its happened either) and i could see the bus approaching from a distance so i got up and clearly hailed it down from a distance continuously and the mofo didn't stop and kept driving, so with my bag over my left shoulder ipod in my left hand keys in the other, wallet and coins in my left pocket bouncing around phone in the right, i thought f*k this, this aint happening again, so i sprinted my way towards the bus hoping to catch him at the lights, as i was about 75 meters from the bus that was stuck at the lights, i saw the arrow turn green so i knew my time was minimal, i managed to catch up to the bus before the lights turned green and so i stood infront of it and banged on the window and told him to open the fk up (was seeing red at this stage) got inside and completely lost my shit at him. Sat down huffing and puffing, and i go to the old guy next to me, did he not see me? and he said he must be running late that's why he didnt stop by the way you must be a good runner (made me lol abit) but my point is...how crap is the public system..anyway there's my rant for the night enjoy.

I have noticed lately, many drivers (in cars) are not giving way to busses as they pull out after picking up/setting down passengers. This doesn't excuse the bus driver in your situation.

But I can see the reason for busses running late.

I knew our public transport system is shithouse but didn't realise it until I went to Europe.

First time in London and I miss my train. After a bit of a self rage session, I looked up and saw the next one was arriving in 2 mins. And to the second, it was on time. This was the case for buses as well. And not just in England, but ALL of western Europe (didn't visit the east side).

They don't sit around waiting. You're either on time for it or you've missed it.

Here, people hold the door for their mates, inspectors think they own the trains. It's farrrked.

Germany was cool. The u-Bahn is organized in such a way that switching trains becomes seamless. Your other train literally arrives same time as the one you're in. You get out, walk across the platform and take off. Not like the fkn city loop.

where you wait at flinders station for god knows why, before it starts heading towards box hill.

Fkn hate it.

The worst is trynna work out which way around the loop it goes. Depends on what the drivers feels lIke doing at the time, I suppose.

I once had an on comming bus turn right in front of me when I was on my motorbike, I couldn't believe the f**ker just took off and left me lying on the side of the road after he mowed me down.

Battered and brused I chased him down, best I leave the story at that. :whistling:

Lets just say that after I forced the doors open I turned real ugly, I had to pull up when I noticed the bus was half full of passengers so I said a quick sorry to them and took off, I think they were in more shock than I was with what happened.

haha bit like my story..whole bus was quite and probably scared..but i was pissed

Plus, these buses now have their own piece of road.

And in some parts of Doncaster East, some wiseass decided to put bus stop right on the road where other road users are driving on.

Everyone had to overtake buses on single unbroken line (which is illegal), I really do want torture the idiot who came up with it.

LOL, bus drivers and couriers, look at them, I mean have a good look at them, they are not good enough to drive trucks and make some real coin so they hate the world because of it.

My EXs dad was a bus driver and he would cry havoc if they told him his route had changed, and the amount of piss he drank, it was lucky he was never breath tested before work as he would have failed every day.

The public service employee, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

Best bus public transport is in Cancun Mexico. There is a bus along the Hotel Zone every 1-2 minutes. They all stop for you no matter if you are at the bus stop or not if you wave. Had some interesting trips on them. One was fully decked out with stereo system and lights like a night club, others had buskers singing along.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
