lol this happened to me just the other day. this orange xr8 ute came flying. i just pulled over and let him go. The last thing i want is to get rear ended. even tho it wouldnt be my fault, i just dont have the time to chase up insurance claims and have the car off the road.

A until they hassle me.

C if they tailgate REAL close and are giving the bird etc.

D if they obviously wanna get past, but aren't being tools about it.

Ditto. 'cept also watching their behaviour in answer A will play a big part in the rest. ie. If they look like they're on LSD or drunk I'll get the hell outta the way no matter what and that's a given.

Screwed if I'm getting hit by an uninsured deadshit.

A....

If they tail gate then i slow right down... Because i want to give them the extra stopping distance if i need to stop....

In my old car, i hit the brakes really hard once when i was being tail gated really bad and he was gonna kill me... He pulled out in front then ripped the hand brake and got out of his car with a steering lock... I s$#t myself and hit the hand brake and took off.... From now on ill stick to my speed and if they hit me in the event of emergeny braking then the police can sort it out.... Thats what their for....

I would confiscate their car and ban all others like it, then have the speed limit in the area reduced by 10km/h.

Seriously though, generally I'll let people past if it's safe to do so (or if it's even more dangerous NOT to get out of their way), otherwise they can sit back and wait, I'm not going to break the road laws or jeapordise myself and my car/bike to let them through.

as most ppl....A

unless they were looking a bit agressive and road-ragey...in that case i'd pull over and let them get the hell away from me!

As above... either A or D, depending on their attitude/if they look like they'll hit me if i don't get out of the way etc.

D/ Let the moron go past.

Many times times in situations like this, I have noticed the moron rapidly gaining on me from behind at illegal speeds, was in an unmarked car, and wearing a police uniform.

They just love to drive fast themselves and bait people.

Either of the four, depending on my mood.

Ditto!

If i was feeling bitchy that day Id slow down and make a right nuisance of myself or id slow down then floor it and watch them try to keep up. Excels seem to be the dags that try n hang off ya butt and its always funny watching them trying to keep up.

If i was feeling in a happy with the world mood then Id just turn up the music carry on my merry way and ignore them.

I would go "A" first up.

If there were overtaking opportunities I would go "C" and slow down to give him/her the hint to go for it.

If I was driving my work bus I would go "D" and pull over because it will only do about 40 flat out.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
