Here's my little prediction...

Within the next few months we'll see stories in the local papers - then likely on Today Tonight - about people having their fuel stolen from the car when parked?

I don't mean Mad Max style tanker hijackings - more the trusty jerry can/siphon trick.

Thoughts?

My thoughts! Well with the petrol prices rising and people’s wages staying the same. I believe we are heading in to a recession.

I also predict in the next few years Australia along with the coalition of the willing will be involved in a war against Iran. This will cause major hikes in oil prices.

I think this is the start of something worse to come.

:rolleyes:

Barrels of oil are becoming more expensive due to China buying as much as they can get their hands on to power their industrial revolution.

It's driven by buyer demand. I wonder what I can get at the rear wheels on potato alcohol?

Want cheaper fuel, stop buying products from China. I got nuthin against Chinese mind you, so please don't take this the wrong way.

screwdriver.

people don't care if they do damage to someone elses car - "not my problem" attitude is becoming so much more prevalent in aus,  i can't stand it.

Never heard of being done this way. The normal way is to unplug the fuel line from the bottom of the tank. Screwdriver could potentially create a spark.

This was happening in the UK when the fuel price was above 1pound a litre in September 2000 with the blockades at the refinaries.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
