I found DR-ENVY in wow last night. I did not know him here, or in wow. Just small talk revealed very similar worlds we live in.

I blew over 10 diffs, 3 gearboxes, a clutch, and 2 axles. Alternator died, steering became loose, suspension started leaking, engine mount broke, crossmember bent, oil lines split. Just some of the things that broke on my rx. However, one engine, no leaks, no cracked apex seals. 10,000rpm all day long. Yeah shit engines, I would never rely on one. Edit: Period of 4 years. --- Wasteland. >>>

It's idiots like this who can't drive for shit which cause these rules. La Bomba would also be in a flaming wreck by now if we could burn from lights legally. ... Legalise!

Need Help With My Old Comp I'm Trying To Get Going.
GTRPowa replied to Mandingo's topic in PC & Games Discussion
Depends on your BIOS as to what the beeps are. As far as I remember the long ~3 sec beep was related to either a loose video card, or loose RAM. If reseating them doesnt work, you can try resetting the BIOS with the CMOS reset jumper (requires new BIOS setup, if you don't understand, don't do it yourself). If that still doesn't fix it, you have either some dead parts and/or a bad power supply. I suggest, if you have another computer, put your HDD into it and get your music and porn off it that way. -
Less attitude bitch/dude. The car got 'fcked' because you didn't invest any time into knowing about the car. IF there is a 180km/h limiter, that's NORMALLY a fuel cut. A fuel cut under boost at high RPM will do shit like melt your cat, melt your exhaust, melt rings, melt lots of stuff. You melted your car. We can only hope your rudeness is not clouding ignorance. From what I've seen you've driven 200km/h+ on public roads, fcked your car, came here asking for options, gave attitude, changed your cat with an illegal straight pipe, and you're now probably off to do it all again. You stupid idiot.

I agree with post, however if their dipstick is old and loose to start with... Not to mention everyone's opinion of 'old and loose' will be different. My dipstick came out when I bought the car, but it was old and loose. Replaced it with genuine replacement and haven't had that problem since.

You'll see some smoke in any and all cases, just differing amounts. A compression test + leakdown test will answer your question properly. Ask any decent mechanic who is wearing his mechanics uniform in the mechanics workshop. Not the internet mechanics with propeller hats. Try and imagine every post ITT coming from the same person. lol.. (I am an internet mechanic with a propeller hat as well so you know.)

Game different to BC. BC catered for guilds and socialism. You didn't see any highly geared people unless they were in a raiding guild, and knew how to play. Now any random noob can get T10 (latest tier). This means you can't be certain through gear checks if they are a decent player or not. The new achievement system doesn't help either because you could clear ICC while dying early on every boss. (practically) Game took a spammy turn for the worst. Back in the day you had to make a 5 man group, manually get over there, summon, buffs, etc. Well now the game simply asks "Are you a Tank? Are you DPS?" - You click a button, few moments later there is 5 people in a group, and you teleport into the instance. You clear it then teleport out to where you originally were. Fast? Maybe so, but it removes the feel the game had. Don't get me wrong though, I still play, have 2 toons with all 264/277's and around 50k gold. But just annoys me when I spent lots of time and effort getting T7 gear. When the T8 raids came out they changed the awards so you can run random heroics and get the T7. That totally makes me feel like I've wasted my time. If you stay a month behind everyone else, you get the same gear for far less effort. Now you can run randoms and essentially get 5 piece T10. I'm HIV positive that this is bellshit. End rant... I could go on for hours.

You said 6k in 5th gear. That's well over 200km/h. Just using our brains..

Typical boy racer idiot. I personally think you have a GTR, making that story up on your first post without owning one (and with your mentality) would be hard. I've also driven that fast at 3am as well. But NOWHERE NEAR 10 Minutes, I touched 250 on gps, got scared, and slowed back down. I look back at this and think to myself how stupid I was. I'm an idiot for doing it, and nobody was anywhere to be seen so it was my own life at stake. But I didn't come here to admit it, then abuse other members for telling me off. I'm an idiot for doing it. An idiot. Idiot. fkn idiot. Edit: Years ago too, I grew up real fast during this time.

AE.39.PP - Black R33, Entering Lake Haven shops. Had SAU sticker on it. You have 19's on your car?

*Throws in a 'King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table' Clap* You know, the clap they did after Tim the Enchanter made fire from air. .. You could be running lean, causing the whole melting of the cat in the first place. I hope you are replacing your cat with a new one. Straight pipes just aren't cool.

I agree on STO. It's unfortunate that games like these can be approved by the Star Trek Foundation thingy.. I guess it's accurate, just not fun. G25 wheel is awesome, that + Test Drive Unlimited and you got something that feels pretty good. Eg, when you turn over a crest, the wheel gets lighter, telling you that if you go much further you'll get heaps of understeer. Again the game is a tad buggy, but an absolute hoot with friends. Imagine driving around Hawaii, with no restrictions. You dont "have" to race, there is no start and finish line, just cruise. And being an MMO you don't even need friends, just drive around and you'll see others pounding around, chase them down! Get it out of your system. In WoW, GS refers to GearScore, an addon that assigns item values to items, giving you a total. So you need 5..2k gs (on our realm) to join an ICC raid. 5.5k gs+ is always preferred. Anything above 6k gs means you have all Item level 264's. Mine are 264 and 277 Heroics.

You aren't understanding what I said. This is why suspensions are thrown on people. You have to drive according to the conditions. You say you didn't even try to stop because you knew how bad the result would be. ^^ That's too fkn fast man. I dont care if it's 40 in a 60 zone, if you still can't confidently stop the car you're going TOO FAST FOR THE CONDITIONS. No amount of ignorance will change this. I learn't all this stuff the hard way man, back in a day where the punishments weren't as heavy. Learn fast.

Hazard Perception Test: Green P Plates! How To Pass?
GTRPowa replied to La Bomba's topic in New South Wales
Exactly, it's just pre-recorded footage from a drivers view on the road. All the normal things that happen on the streets, happen in the videos. If you are unable to handle the varying obstacles and gaps that you are presented with, I doubt the real world confidence. Good test, I passed both of them (Greens and blacks) first time. But it took me 6 attempts to get my red P's if I remember correctly - 5 times with one inspector, once with a new one. I'd rather a computer test anytime. (Edit: Everytime I failed that test btw, was for "Observation" - By the 5th test the guy told me what he was failing me on. He wanted me to look down the streets I was driving past. I said "What, you want me to turn my head 90 degrees and look down a street that I pass at 50-60km/h?" He replies, "Yes" - New inspector for me plz) -
That's utter BS because we all saw that fully sick red front grille. It was _NOT_ removed from the vehicle before it was crushed.
-
2 x 6.1k gs toons in WoW. Play that StarTrek Online but it's starting to get boring. Test drive unlimited is great for a thrash, got a G25 wheel. Can't wait for TDU 2. And Starcraft 2 is out, pity rego comes first.
-
Whether it's related (lol) or not. For what you did, and the punishments associated, you got off scott free. (More importantly, when I use the term 'scott free' - Is the scott supposed to be in capitals??)
-
Guy wasn't even allowed to remove his custom grille. I am outraged. Besides, how do we even know if the car wasn't permanently confiscated to be sold? If that's so, nobody would buy that thing, so the council/govt buys it for a meager $300, then crushes it to make this point. "We want to crush the spirits of hoons. And er we're we, we will be introducing er, new laws shortly." NOW A VT COMMODORE IS DEAD YOU BASTARDS. (Car has mad camber now, the owner can join HellaFlush)
-
Two things I'll question about this now, since they will later. Are your tyres defective or are you not driving according to the conditions? They will argue "What if a car pulled out in front of you, are you saying you wouldn't have enough time to stop for this?" Remember the speed limit is exactly that, the 'limit' - You can drive under the limit, especially in wet/foggy/etc conditions. (Give or take the wanker behind you) ----------- Dunno about vic laws, but if you exceed your points too far here in NSW you get extra time off as well. Long story short I ended up with a total of 16 points. I get an extra month off for this. 3 Months for 30-45km/h over 3 Months for reaching 12 points. 1 Month for exceeding the points too far. = 7 Months. ----------- Not looking good, I'd just man up and take what's coming. They can make it worse if you contend. I've had a few 3 month suspensions when I was younger and they never made me think. 7 months did. All the best.

Does the BNR32 use the same oxy sensors mentioned? Everyone here is talking about the RB25? Same sensor(s)?

All you need now is Wonka Vision.

No they're several colours, I've driven past the grey one twice in different spots. (Close to Belmont) And I'm not going to delve into whats right and wrong too far, but I know for a fact I feel less safe looking at my speedo all the time, than I am simply looking at the road. I don't mean this in an abusive speeding context. These cameras are set at 3km/h tolerance now? If so there is a 3hm/h range from where at one end of the spectrum you are a speeding wanker who should be off the road. On the other end of that 3km/h you are an inconsiderate douche who drives under the limit, and risk one day road rage and/or being rear ended. I don't like driving anymore. (You can source that info from the many "I got caught speeding" and "What grinds my gears" threads.)

Yes I would not need to record audio, except when if I am pulled over by a police officer. At this stage audio could be turned on. I've heard about a recent spate of verbally abusive cops, also cops who are driving in a dangerous manner to entice. This will not happen to me lightly.
