You guys and gals should be ashamed! Not once have I read anything that expresses any concern whatsoever for the welfare of the ROO!

What of its family???? Did you think of THAT??? Oh Nooooooo too worried about chasing replacement parts I see.

You should all feel suitably chastened.

Jeeeeez......

heh heh heh

Yes, joking. Definately. But I admire Roos, they have better target lock than an F-18 Hornet. An F-18 needs to use radar to seek and acquire, but not the Roo. A bus (or Shell's car) leaves it's home port thousands of km away and, hours later, in the middle of a flat deserted plane with nothing but dirt and no other vehicles in sight, the Roo just knows exactly where to be so it can intercept the bus grille with pin point accuracy. Impressive.

i thought of the roo!! but i couldn't find the bloody thing!! :D

in all seriousness though, i never like to see an animal in pain...i would have rung the cops to put it down if it had been injured after hitting me. They do this with no problem, they put a bullet in the head of one my friend saw hit a car one night.

Bad luck Terminal, uncanny two like leech_

I was on my way back from Bungendore one night with my girlfriend riding shotgun. Been sitting on 130 since i left and hadn't touched the brakes, so I thought it would be a good idea to warm em up incase i need them. Started doing a few hard brakes down to 40kmph to get them really hot and low and behold around the very next corner was about 50 roos all over the road. I steered around two and stopped right infron of another who got confused and keeped hopping down the road and not off it.

Would have been carnage for sure had i not been doing only 50 or so when i saw them.

Some of us have all the luck. lol

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
