Let the cops sort it out now.

Both times I have been pranged in ACT was on roundabouts with ignorant or incompetent fu(kers running out of their lane and crumping the side of my car. I made one old d*ckhead stand in the freezing cold for 20 mins until he admitted that 2 lanes onto a roundabout means you stay in your lane all the way through. He was in the left lane and tried to take the shortest route and ran me up onto the roundabout and still hit me. I was turning right so it wasn't any sort of race to beat him through.

Gave me wrong license details and rego was not transferred when he bought it so when I reported to the AFP they were pretty annoyed. I did see his publice service pass in his car so saw where he worked. Went with the cops to his place of work and they grilled him, fined him and that afternoon he paid his excess for the insurance.

BTW I remember that car from my time in ACT and recall he was a complete wanker, but his small dick machine don't cut it against a quick skyline :cheers:

I also believe all states now have anti road rage laws that are very tough, but you need to make a full statement. Melb is so bad now my wife carries a camera in the car as guys really go insane when she accelerates away from them through traffic or off the lights. Mostly idiots in old crappers too so maybe they have extreme envy. She even had a guy in a truck get out to abuse her because she was next to him in traffic and he put his indicator on and started to pull over on her. She blew the horn and he went stupid at her. Of course when he got out the traffic started moving but another guy stopped to see what the truckie was going to do, so the fool got back in the truck.

I guess the moral here is not to be a dick in ACT as it is too small and you get noticed.

Well done andrew.

There are so many wankers like that around, and all of us wish at times we could take a bat to there head! excuse my french ...haha.

The fact that he was jumping on the brakes like that and then stop his car, says it all!

Dick head!Similar things have happened to me, but it seems to be a jelousy thing.

Speaking of Idiots in falcons. While driving home on that road that goes around the front of black mountain into civic I saw a shiny new XR6T that had slammed into the guard rail. Front of the car was toast, gotta love those crumple zones... and we are the demographic that pays by far the most for insurance, some people gotta bloody learn to drive :)

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
