When things turn ugly on the road

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?

Quik: I had the exact same thing happen to me when I had my GTS-T

I was coming home from a friends place about 2am on a Sunday morning and a small car pulled out behind me a few streets from my place. Seing as I could hear yelling from the car behind while it tailgaiting the hell out of me, I knocked the car back a gear and took off down a sidestreet around the corner and they followed. I ended up driving into a carpark at the local shopping centre and waiting 5 mins before driving out and slowly back up the road past the shops only to see him pulling out of a different exit. It was on again.

This time I took off up the highway and once he was out of my mirror i went down a sidestreet, turned around and waiting for the prick to come past but he never did so after about 15 mins of sitting around I head home, watching every direction.

The problem continued when I pulled into my driveway and in my mirror saw the bastards waiting in a culdersac for me - they rolled (with headlights off) up to my driveway while my roller door was going up - I ran in, grabbed a large type baseball bat not knowing what the deal was and jumped back in the car and began to reverse and they took off.

Scared the absolute 5hit out of me and I have been very vigilant ever since.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
