Hi Hamish,

It is a self-shaming photo of a kerb I scraped one of my D1R rims on whilst attending a car meet; my blasé attitude testament to the virtues of owning cheap wheels. 

Needless to say my enthusiasm for navigating tight carparks has been well and truly curbed.

Hi Hamish,
It is a self-shaming photo of a kerb I scraped one of my D1R rims on whilst attending a car meet; my blasé attitude testament to the virtues of owning cheap wheels. 
Needless to say my enthusiasm for navigating tight carparks has been well and truly curbed.

I took the photo :)

You shat a brick thinking you took out your freshly sprayed sideskirt though

I used to pride myself on being able to take better care of my $1000 wheels than people do their $3000 wheels :(

Rest assured, I'll be taking better care of my GTR's wheels

I just assumed the general population were fkin awful at parking, particularly reverse parallel

Just irks me when I see someone selling $3500 LMGT4s or TEs off a $10k car with "slight rash" on "only 3 of the wheels", and practically the whole lip is missing. How the fk do they rash up the ones on the driver side?

Melbourne has the worst multi storey carpark I've ever seen

Hamish will know which one I'm taking about

It's about 8 stories high and can only fit about 18 cars on each level. Thing is a fkin go kart track. You just about have to do 3 point turns to turn up and down its steep ass ramps, with your head out the window to make sure you won't clash with concrete walls covered in other people's bumper paint.

Yeah, my missus mazda 3 is sweet to zoom zoom around the multi level car parks too unlike my hearse of a car..

nice you found a new job? was it you in the IT field as well?  

Not exactly in the IT field but I do use a HP laptop with a docking into 2 screens if that counts as IT.
Gas and energy is where I'm at.

These kind of attacks have been commonplace in the Middle East for decades

Significant increase in Europe over the last 5-10 years

Imported people > imported problems

Whether pro-refugee people want to admit it or not, the problem simply would not exist in these locations if these countries didn't have such open border policies that allow the bad seeds to flow in with the goods

That religion is not compatible with western values

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
