Biggest concern for me is the roos...there's so many of them about in my area at night, and a lack of proper lighting in some areas doesn't help. That stretch of road just before you turn left to go to Lanyon shops after coming back from tuggers (im shocking with street names :cheers:) is terrible, very poor lighting. I've seen a few near misses around that area because of the roos.

My car definitely doesn't like the bounciness of the parkway, or should i say the coilovers. Last week my transmission went into 'fail safe' mode because it detected 'excessive wheelspin and/or hard braking'. Was just caused by driving @ 100 down a bumpy section of the parkway and the wheels slipping alittle across every little bump.

Its more irritating when you get 2 fools in the left and right hand lanes doing the same speed 90-100 kms/h and 100 cars behind them all tailgating, who is at fault here.

the fools that dont have the balls to do 110 and then get "back" into the left lane. ooooo oooooooooooo

so frustrating!!!

yeah going slow in the right lane is one of my biggest hates...after cyclists!!!

i wont tailgate people, i dont want to wreck their car or mine, but if 2 people are going under the speed limit in both lanes and im in a rush then i'll get rite up the ass of the car in the right lane for about 5seconds, then back rite off, it gives them the mesge that they r pissing me off and doing the wrong thing without sitting on their ass untill they move.

:werd:

exactly! I won't tailgate but i'll let em know I'm behind them and that the signs "keep left unless overtaking" aren't just there for the hell off it :D

*most* ppl move over - yet you still get the tossers who think they have a right to stay in the fast lane cos they're doing 2km over the limit.

HAHA I think its more of a , "oh my this perosn is so far up my rear.... oh no its ok they have backed off now."

or

"oh how rude some people are sooo pushy."

for *^%( Sake!

If your gunna drive do it consideratly, And that includes letting non possy people through!

why oh why are they in the right hand lane anyway? do they think its safer? or do they just like the attention

feel better now.. thanks

I drive home slot of the way in the right lane for safety reasons :)

There's trees/bush on the left, and i like that lane wide buffer zone if a Kangaroo decides to play Car Roullette

yeah im a bit the same, when its not busy, or even in the middle of the road (two way st.) just gives more time to see and react

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
