Couple in their 60's...blind motherf**kers. Scares the shit out of me that one slip up like this could end my life :(

This is why I ride through the mountains, if I lose my life there it's most likely going to be my fault and not the stupid traffic mistake of someone who is too old to be held accountable anyway.

i'm sure the younger biker will no doubt be blamed for it most likely coz of his speed or some bullshit. any excuse to come up with another dumb ass "wipe off 5" ad instead of pointing the finger at people who don't know road rules.

should re test all people over 50 years of age i bet most of em will fail

Yeah, problem with blame is, whoever gets the finger pointing in the end, that guy is still dead. People don't realise how life affecting their decisions on the road can be, don't think they ever will until something bad happens to them. It's like the road is a theme park ride and the worst that can happen is a bump from a dodgem car.

On the topic of blame, we commonly drive through green lights at intersections / walk across pedestrian crossings without looking to make sure the cars intersecting have stopped, simply because we know we have right of way and depend on this way too much. Meanwhile, some tool running a red light could kill you and being in the right won't save your life. Sort of similar to the advice that girls shouldn't dress too provocatively to discourage being sexually attacked...you have every right to dress how you want, but you also have every right to walk into a lion's den carrying 2kg of rump steak...doesn't mean it's a good idea. Which is why you should never let your guard down when riding a bike - everyone is out to kill you.

Should re-test everyone of all ages, I bet most of them would fail.

its a 4g63 easy to tell by the head

That's what I thought, but 7 Tune posted it and think it's a 4A-GE or more so questioned it...

I was just making sure.

You can tell it' s a 4G63 from the cam covers as well.

Should have kept your EVO Nick and done this :D

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • 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
    • 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.
