Sometimes if they are going fast enough there is no way they can stop in time due to they weight and speed thing so they only thing they can do is go faster and hope they make it instead of trying to stop and ending up in the middle of the lights. But i agree sometimes truck drivers suck i have usually get problems with them changing into my lane when im right next to them and ive been run off the road a few times and ended up driving in the emergency lane!

yer ive had a few close calls with trucks and buses. i always try at anticipate the stupiest thing every other road user could ever make.

thus, i always try to keep a large distance between other vehicles. when it comes to trucks and buses i never sit besides one.

talking of truck stories my gf was going around a round about and one nearly swipped her off the road. it went right into her lane so she pulled the finger or something(cant remember exactly what happened). then the truck driver stopped his truck in the middle of the round about so she couldnt move, got out of the truck and came up to the window shouting "wind down your window," while waving his finger at her. she reversed as fast as she could and got outta there.

oh yer... and i remember a few years ago there were heaps of accidents caused by massive trucks smashing into cars on leach hwy or something killing a few and putting many others in wheelchairs for the remainder of their life... or causing some to suffer from permanent brain damage. i think i might recall the cause of the accident was that the truck driver (as im sure is common among many) hadn;t slept for days and was full of drugs.

I've been in a truck before (passenger) in Sydney and you should see some of the dumb arrogant pricks in cars, In most two laned roundabouts you cant go wide enough out and the trailer will pull in (speed is not a factor). Just because when your pulling a trailer in your car and you can go round a roundabout with no hassels doesn't mean a truck can.

I don't have a problem with trucks, but I think that when approaching lights they should go a speed in which they can stop. If that means slowing down as they approach green lights then so be it, they should be in the left lane anyway.

speaking of craziness... i was going along the causeway bridge at about 9.30 last night (it was pretty busy, lots of cars everywhere) and this major retard with the one of those crappy old boxy fords and the 5HITEST caravan ive ever seen decided to stop in the middle of two lanes suddenly (nearly causing a pileup) then just did a U-turn onto the other side of the road nearly hitting more cars????

some people are seriously retarded.

yep thats the way lots off smaller vehicles will push the prices of everything higher and we will all be better off. Especailly all those extra drivers needing to be employed. Pity even with a job the costs will be too musch for anyone to buy food etc Maybe its the road designers that are of more concern

      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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
