Well I think it's time for a new topic since most of the topics in the Vic section are getting boring..

So, just wondering - What are your "rules" when you have passengers in your car?

Mine are:

1. No smoking in the car - ever

2. No eating or drinking unless I say it's ok

3. No farting in the car (except for me ;) lol)

4. If [ex]girlfriend is with me, she rides in the front - no exception. Otherwise, shotgun rules apply

5. Dont play with the electric windows

6. Dont touch the stereo, if you dont like my music you can walk thefinger.gif

7. No complaining I'm going too fast

There's a few others but that's all I can think of for now :rofl:

THANK GOD no one is going to have to put up with that

Well for another 19 days at least

:D

1. no smoking

2. no changing the climate control settings / music without asking (except girlfriend)

3. feet on ground at all times (not on seat and especially NOT ON DASH)

4. no sex

5. never touch my horn... ever

eating and drinking (including alchol) are allowed, drive-through is encouraged.

that is all.

Waz.

7. No complaining I'm going too fast

I'm the opposite with that one.....if I have a passenger that thinks I'm going too fast, then I will slow down, simply because I'm a shocking passenger.... i hate being a passenger in other peoples cars, i much prefer to be in control.

The only other rules that really apply are that you shut up if i say "shut up".

(anyone who has ever had kids in their car will understand!)

1 - no smoking

2 - no obscenities to passers by ESPECIALLY if we're coming up to a red light! my car will cop a bottle, not u...

3 - obviously no stereo control unless i advise so

4 - definately no touching of climate control.

5 - farting is only allowed if i have had pre-warning and can prepare with all windows down.

6 - dirty shoes = hold em or clean em... or ur walkin

7 - drinking is acceptable, but not between gear changes.

8 - shotgun rules always apply.

that is it i believe

lol, you blokes are exactly the same as me, just as much of a fanatic

1. No eating or drinking ever - even i don't do it

2. No one from the beach gets in. If I drive anyone to the beach, they either don't swim, and no walking in sand, or they walk home.

3. already mentioned - no pressing buttons of any sort (radio, windows are locked, aircon)

4. defintely no touching driving controls - you cause an accident, you die

5. don't complain about the ride, otherwise, you can buy your own car and drive yourself. you can complain about my daily driver because it's a piece of shit

6. no dirty people - as in swetty people etc.

7. no smoking in car EVER. If people wanna smoke, you can sit outside for 10 minutes first to let the smoke go away.

8. sex is allowed, as long as it involves me and another girl. no one else

9. don't complain about my driving unless you can do better, and have constructive feedback e.g. the other day, a lancer driver goes, why are you shifting so roughly. my response - because my clutch is a twin plate, and not a featherweight lnacer pinner clutch that you can almost launch it and it'd still be smooth

10. lol, and anything else i've missed is the rule as well.

i know i'm a bit of a fanatic...but what can i say. I love my car

yeah pretty much same as everyone else but heres some just to make me special.

1. passengers that are sitting or goin to sit in the back must enter and exit from the passengers side, unless theyre a chick.

2. im driving the car so i boost anytime i want to, not anytime you want.

3. absolutely no yelling obsenities to other people/drivers unless u know them.

4. dont pick ur nose in the car, if u do keep ur finger up there untill we get to where we're going.

5. whatever money you drop in my car and cant find its mine!!

6. dont put ur knees soo close to the gearstick, i dont like touching another mans knees at every gearchange unless we agree on a price beforehand...LOLz. this rule is waved for the ladies though.

7. i fart when i want to and if theres a problem the passenger powerwindow lock button has the final say.

and finally

8. shotgun rules apply but if you make a big deal about it then u have to wear a wacky 1956 U.S navy hat that i bought from spain at a flee market and keep in my car at my discression.

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
    • You mean you will regret it for drifting duties? I don't quite follow.
