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 :)

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
