^^^^^ what makes it good with doing a friendly thing like that is the sour pissed off look of the person in the mirror hahah

But sometimes you don't get that in return when your trying to merge is something that pisses me off. So I drive like a bull out of a gate when I am in a heap of public servant traffic.

I'm with Bren - gotta be an aggressive driver and be aware of all the dickheads around you. Can't get away with driving sedately in this town during peak hour, you'll end up being eaten alive.

Athlon and drakeford lights ............ T-bone accident at about 7.30am

There will be a road rage incident if this keeps up

BTW - I am not a calm driver. I would not say aggressive either tho.

Fkn pissed off = yes

I don't know.... I seem to be very calm. If someone cuts me off, I don't care, if someone lets 5 cars in, I don't care. If someone is stopped at the lights and I don't get to go through becuase they're sitting there on the green... I don't care. I guess I'm a very chilled person. I may make a comment if cut off or whatever, but it's not full on guns blazin'. Generally speaking, Canberra drivers seem to be a lot better than most around Australia (except for when it rains - everyone turns into an old lady driving 20kms under).

I'm a public servant and most of the time I'm in a rush - but I strategically place myself in better lanes so I avoid the "1 bllink-indercater cut off".

I usually only rage when people:

- Drive slow in the right hand lane or don't overtake

- Overtake and slow down

- Take a shortcut and drive slow (Lady Denman Drive)

Driving slower in the left hand lane is okay (not ridiculously slow though). Basically driving needs to be predictable. You can a shortcut to get some where quicker.

I'm with you^

I circumvent the road into the city near the lake/black Mtn to avoid the 60km zone where their doing all the road works (traffic travels a lot slower than 60km F#@cking C#NTS !) .

So do others and you know what - the c#cksuckers go just as slow. FFS stay on the main road you B!tches...

The road around the lake has some awesome windy bits with good camber - it's a race track.........................

Why everyone decides to slow down to form one lane ill never know, but Christ its annoying.

Helga, I would street fight a person if I didn't get through the lights coz they took off slow or I got cut off. You must be as calm as a Hindu cow behind the wheel...

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 ?

So it took you 30 mins not 10? :laugh:

haha pretty much ! There is only one thing that makes me rage hardcore and that's a game called HoN. I go mental, everything else I seem to not care enough to get worked up. I do drop the mumbling "idiot" here and there though.

Purely because they cannot seem to comprehend the fact that you merge one from the left, then one from the right, and so on.

It's usually some annoying b*tch in a small car that thinks she has right of way above all, so then people have to brake to compensate.

Personally, as I've done before, I'll push people like that up the curb by turning towards their car

This. There are 2 significant occasions of "form one lane" for my drive home from work, and consistently at both of them there will always be someone who forces their way past me after the 2 lanes technically end....what the f**k?! Or should I say "attempts" to force their way past, as lately I'm taking your approach Tom by moving right over on top of them to force them to brake or bail further to the side.

f**k them.

best ever. I was going up Monaro where it goes right onto fairbairn ave and then left onto Majura. I was the front car with a truck behind me. right as i turned left to go onto the slip lane to go onto majura an rx8 comes flying up (past a 50+m gap between me and the truck) and tries to just cut infront of me. I just doubled down into second and planted it. he had to slam on brakes so he wouldn't hit the fking lights and then went behind me. Tried to take me at the first roundabout on majura and couldn't. On the second roundabout i saw a cop way ahead and let him past. he sped past me, gave me the finger and flawwed it. Little bit later i stroll past him gettign pulled over by the cop. Made my fking year.

Can't stand rude pricks like that on the road.

    • 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.
