If the guy is speeding, let him pass - do everything you can to let them by - two reasons.  1. there could be an emergency (not likely, but it may happen) and if you were in a similar situation, you would appreciate people getting out of the way.  

Word.. for some reason people in Perth can't handle the fact that someone might want to go a bit faster than they are on a freeway.

I challenge any right hand lane hog to go drive in the UK or Europe for a while and see how long it takes before either a cop fines them for obstructing traffic or someone rams them off the road...

(guess who's just witnessed crappy Perth driving after a month driving round the UK:D)

Well, yesterday I saw my skyline's life flash before my eyes as I encountered my dickhead perth driver story. Driving through suburbia, doin 50km/h, just commuting along between my parents place and my house. Passing an oval where footy is being played and as I come up to a corner, I see a white camry waiting to pull out. He's stopped so I continue at 50 up the hill. No more than 10-15m from the corner now, he applies the gas and pulls out in front of me. No time. I lock it up and start sliding on wet road. Fortunatley, instinct doesn't overrule my brain and i take my foot off the brake, furiously steer to the other side of the road to swerve around this bloke, reapply the brakes, now heading for opposite curb on wrong side of road, trying to take in where other cars are (oncoming, camry driver, my car), manage to again release my locked up brakes and steer away from curb as i complete my severe swerve around this dickhead. I come to a stop safely on my side of the road, in the original direction i was heading, check that i haven't shat/pissed myself and check rear vision mirror only to see this clown simply drive off in the opposite direction like nothing had happened. Meanwhile, I'm having heart pulputations.

Fortuantley, both myself and my car are all in one piece and without a single scratch. Time to go buy lotto ticket.

Dickheads....

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
