People who get all road-ragey at you when THEY'RE the one in the wrong. Like the guy who felt the need to gesture out the window and swerve all over the road and point at the speed camera because I dared to come up behind him doing 80 in a 80 zone. He was doing 60. And no I didn't tailgate or anything.

Nothing makes me want to ram someone off the road, grab them by the throat, and explain to them why they're a f**kwit more. If I was the violent type. Which I'm not :P

This is why you should keep used spark plugs in the centre console lol

People who stop 3m behind the white line at a red light.

People (two or more different people), who park on a suburban street (say, maximum 2-3 lanes unmarked), on opposite sides of the road, right at the entrance of the road- thus creating a bottleneck in/out of the road - too lazy to park that extra 5m into their driveways (I found out they were too lazy because the morning after I left a thinly-veiled note on their windscreens, cars were magically parked in driveways/only on one side of the street - they had continued their previous behaviour for MONTHS prior, and now, not a single repeat).

Solution is to surfboard wax the message on their windscreen. The inconvenience of getting that off will teach them not to be lazy lol

This conversation has stayed with me as a reminder as to the calibre of people on the road.

After I nearly got wiped off the road by someone trying to merge on top of me we pull up to a set of lights, windows down.

Wat mate?

Me: it's called a blind spot, maybe you should check it sometime.

Him: if it's a blind spot, then how am I suppose to check it?

All I could do was laugh and shake my head in disbelief.

drive off, he then pulls into my lane and in front at the next set of lights. Then tries to fake reverse into me.... Sigh.

This is why car manufacturers really supply tyre irons (for other driver adjustment) in the boot lol

21. Jamming the passenger door into the ground then getting into the car, putting more weight on the side of the car and jamming the door deeper, then pulling hard just to get it unstuck. Extra nasty if the door is stuck against the concrete sidewalk

22. Dragging shoes and bags over the door sill plate, door trims and glove box lid while getting into the car

Technically this ones an IQ test: Jamming the seat belt buckle into the centre console since they can't be bothered looking where the clasp is

This ones for the druggies out there: Playing with sun visors or power windows non stop

23. Dragging stuff over the boot loading lip or bumper bar while loading and unloading

24. Not closing the windows when exiting someone else's car.

25. People who don't learn how to reverse park their over sized suv/4wd, take freakin ages doing it and still fail to park properly.

26. People who don't wave after you've given them space to change lanes, pull out of driveways, side streets, etc in traffic. Unappreciative twats.

27. People doing under the speed limit in a T2 lane with no passengers in peak traffic.

28. People sitting in your blindspot constantly when merging into a 1 lane, clearly knowing they have to back off so you can merge, but decide to at the last second within inches.

People washing their suber-dirty 4WD windscreens on the motorway whilst you're following.

People washing their windscreen when I'm following on my bike. :domokun:

Hehe...

Just doing fellow cabin members a favour.

When an ambulance is espied coming up behind but still far off, I recommend flashing the car in front of you just before pulling back into an undertaking lane.

    • Grease the poly bushes as your first order of business. Moly grease. Spanner check everything else. Inspect LCA inner bushes.
    • It's usually associated with a muffler. Often in the middle of the muffler, sometimes at an inlet. Not removable by just slipping something out. usually needs butchery (read outright replacement of the muffler). There's absolutely nothing magic about any Jap exhaust brand. Totally generic. Totally replaceable with anything else that will do the job. I've replaced the centre muffler in mine a couple of times.
    • I've had a 9280, 9280's in stock form produce a bit of a whine when coming on unlike the 9180 so you may already like the turbo sound as it is.
    • So everytime the car is changing momentum, say you were going forward, and then you brake, itll do the creaking  and then wont happen when you brake again while still going forward. but once you put it into reverse and then you brake itll creak, but wont creak any more after while still reversing. And then again, when you go back to forward and the first time you brake, itll creak.  ( note will only happen the first time you brake when traveling a direction ). Wont happen, when youre going up speed bumps or hitting a pothole etc. Sound comes from Front left area.    I'm unsure as to what might be causing this sound so if anyone has any suggestions please. Ive got a set of R34 GTT brakes that I will be installing soon too. (and disregard the gutter rashes, from previous owner(s)... ) Otherwise, it has a shot set of Tein Coilovers, original bushings except poly on tension rods. Car has 138k kms. Video reference :   
    • This is a good tip. Two things: Will a JASMA tag literally have the word "JASMA" on it? If not, what does it look like and is there a common place to find it on the exhaust? Nevermind. I found some images. Similar question for the restrictor. Is there a common place it would be located or some sort of indicator that can be seen from the outside? Do I have to drop the exhaust and look around until I stumble on it?
