I'm mad as hell.

Took well over an hour to get to work this morning.

Had to double back from just past woden turnoff to tuggers and come in via Woden to the city.

I hate to be callous but it had better have been good ones (many multiple fatality's).

Not just drivers too stupid to get there damaged cars off the road and gawkers. FFS

Yeah as I said. Im angry as. Shoot me !

Anyone know really WTF happend ?

It's canberran incompetent road (90%) of users that would have caused the issue... But built up with the roadworks on parks way would not have helped. Nearly better to go Adelaide ave to get to the city

I'm with you on this Richard - as much as I don't want people to get hurt, for the way other drivers react it had better be worth it lol. I've seen a guy pulled over on the side of the road on the Monaro one time just south of Fyshwick. He was doing the right thing by getting ENTIRELY off the road so he could answer a phone call. There was nothing wrong with his car, he wouldn't have even caused a disturbance while he pulled over....yet somehow we have 2 lanes of near-standstill traffic for well over 500m behind him, which miraculously vanish and return to the speed limit the moment you passed the dude...

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???? f**king incompetent rubber-necking dickheads, that's why!

How much brain damage can you take before you become as brain dead as the average ACT driver?

Lobotomy time. I swear ive seen them drooling as they stare straight ahead clenching the wheel.

They need automatic driving cars or something.

Good point lol....I had a stroke when I was 17 and as a result have permanent brain damage leaving me with an irreparable blind spot in my vision....and I still manage to do better than 99% of the zombies on our roads lol. That's saying something!

My boss was directly behind the second guy that was hit.

First one (closer to hindmarsh) was just dumb arses in the right hand lane.


The second one was a scooter rider vs car. My boss was directly behind the bike/scooter overtaking in the right hand lane. In the left lane, there was a bank of car stuck behind one of those slow moving diggers. As the scooter guy was overtaking, the lady in the left hand lane abruptly changed lane into the bike and pushed him into the concrete barrier. Some how the car didn't notice straight away and kept driving for a little bit, mean while the scooter guy is bouncing around between his bike and the barrier.

By the time I went past, he was on the ground not looking well.

Ahh one of my biggest gripes WHY THE f**k do those diggers drive in peak hour traffic?!?! At about 20km/h!!!!

I used to see it all the time on the Monaro Hwy in the morning... utter chaos!!!

Yet having atmos BOVs or a boost controller is a safety hazzard. The government is just sitting there going Trololololololololololol hahahaha.....

Scooter, moped, pushbikes + children - stay off the roads...

or

Get licensed, registered and travel the speed of the traffic (+10kmph)

Edit: Oh and drivers be motorcycle aware

Read - NO SYMPATHY

A few more of these might reduce the increasing numbers of "above" smaktards !

Seems one was an 8 car pile up.

The other one (as has been said) was a car and a bike. Male on the bike had minor injuries. Good to hear :)

Canberra drivers have traffic jams for the fun of it, what happened to the scooter dosent surprise me, Iv been riding daily for the last 3 years and u would not believe what I have seen, there's nothing more dangerous than a Canberra public servant running 5mins late on a Monday morning

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
