It's simple people. A car alone is NOT dangerous. It's various metals/plastic/fabric/rubber/etc... wacked together. Alone is just sits there and does sh*t. It doesn' kill.

A car WITH a human being becomes dangerous.

The level of danger depends on the ATTITUDE of the human being, controlling the car.

Now, here's a tricky one for some people.

Bad attitude driver behind the wheel of ANY car is dangerous. Yes, including an Echo and them 1 cylinder Russian cars which starts up with the thump of a hammer. Sorry to say, but even mum and dad's commodore or falcon.

Sorry to say but I see more c0ckmasters behind 4WD's with their "I'm bigger than you" attidude.

as has been said before - "Guns don't kill ducklings, ducklings kill ducklings"

respect to all, i dont know the 3 but i feel for there families and there loved ones, the but i think i speak for all when i say

lets make this a safe and happy Xmas and all to travel sefely

if you need to go some where leave earlier so u dont have to speed

think of those around u.

peace to all

I am deeply touched by this incident and it seems everyone who has posted in this thread shares very similar feelings towards those who have, unfortunately, passed away in such a way as to suggest carelessness or inexperience.

We can only learn from other people's mistakes and I can tell u now, the positive and supportive response which so many people have shown in this thread, and others, is a testimony to young drivers everywhere.

I hope you too have been touched somehow by this incident, as I certainly have.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
