Last Friday night I was driving home around 11.30pm. I was driving down notorious Bell street Preston and stopped at the lights to turn right, next to the Maccas on St Georges Road. Behind me was a blue lancer with an exhaust you could hear a block away and a full evo body kit. This shit kicker had three blokes in the car. He then started revving his engine hard. When I say hard I mean red line, engine breaking revving. The whole time I'm thinking "Your a bloody tosser"

Anyway the light turns green and he had about as much chance of keeping up as a pot bellied yobbo picking up a grid girl at the F1.

Anyway the story did not end there. He started following me. I was near home and I went down a few streets in a big circle and the persistant little bastard kept coming. By now I'm getting pissed off and a little worried so I put the foot down and managed to get a fair way ahead. I have an eletronic roller door so I hit the 'open' button, drove in and shut the roller door without him seeing where I live.

Even after doing this I could hear the drone of his exhaust going up and down the sorrounding streets for ages after.

I was nearly tempted to get the old .303 rifle my family has and sit on the roof and blow one of the wheels off his car as he drove past.... Cops would probably have something negitive to say if I did that though...

Anyway have any of you had something like this happen? Any road rage that has turned into a chase?

I dont think I have enough time to tell all my stories, but one time, I had something similar, about 10years ago. 3guys followed me for about 20min, because I overtook them on the freeway for sitting in the right lane. Being bymyself, I was alittle worried and thought enough is enough, so I went through a red, when they followed the red light, I booted it to pull away, and turned into a street carlton, where I block the roadwith my car. Got out with a handy toy in my hand waiting for them to turn in, when they did & realised the consequences the look on their faces was Priceless... and so was seeing them smoke em up in reverse for 20metres~

QuickR33 - glad nothing happened thats what counts -

i had an incident on not long ago, posted on here somehwere under the victoria section, 4 guys in a car, i got stopped at train lines, middle of the night in dande, one guy got out no shirt, crowbar in hand, and wlaked towards my car - i was the one smoking them up in reverse then!!!

also a few weeks ago i overtook a vs ute on the way to my gfs because it was driving slow in the right hand lane, and he followed me to my girlfriends, (i didn't realise he was actually following me, thought he may have lived in her st etc.. since there was only a couple of turns from where i overtook him i gave him the benifit of hte doubt.. but as i pulled up in my gfs driveway (end of a court) he did a U turn and left... Suss....

from now on if i stop at red lights or train lines, i try to be aware of whats around me and how i could get out of there quick if i have to

also more weary of people following me - at least in our cars we CAN loose them if we have to :)

lol i had 2 big burly blokes follow me home in their hilux ute lol was scary as shit, but i opened electric gate, went inside got my mail from the letterbox, (them stairing right outside from the ute) and let my dogs out to the front yard....they drove off

lucky for me they didnt know my dogs would lick them more than bite, but if it works on little kids who ring my door bell and run (i usually chase them with my dogs on leash) then well i guess it would work for anyone...i hope

QuickR33 man u did the smart thing. No point getting into a scrap with ppl that have nothing better to do then follow a person home late at night. Just that it wouldnt be a bad idea to get their plates just in case they do know where u live and something happens in the future. Never can be too safe you know. :)

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
