I realised that alot of drivers are shiniing their high beams at me, or delibrately slow down and shine there high beam up my rear. Is it because my head lights are too bright? Or they are incorrectly aimed. I also noticed the headlights are much stronger than the highbeams, but it's headlights are aimed lower still.

The headlights are just the cheapo opti blue, not sure if it's 100W or 55W, but my friends said it's damn bright and always insists on driving behind me.

Thanks

Yeah, Id be going with the aim of them. You need to park in front of a wall to set them, its a bit of a stuff about but worth it.

PS aiming them down more doesnt always work, as it can change the refection etc. Also maybe if your highbeams are brighter, the car is wrongly wired???

What has the dash lights have to do with people high beaming him?

On that note, I dont know if it was just my compliers, but my dash dimmer (a variable resistor pot near the drivers knee under the dash, stupid place to put it) seems to be directly wired to my tailights. When my dash is dimmed to no light, my tail driving lights go out too. front beams are unnafected. Good for running away from the cops but still an issue that bugs me.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
