THAT STUPID ROAD GOING THROUGHT THE ARMY BARRICKS!

omg.. and just over the bridge.. shit.. that f's my car up like a mofo

I got a friend living on that street...

And they actually fixed that road once... Then they had to rip it up coz of the new houses contructions.

The worst is down Anzac pde, between the franklins shopping and the Maroubra rd cross. Going towards lapar.

It was once very nice. Damm all these constructions around the place.

I just got back from having the front windscreen replaced in my work hiace van. Had a couple of tiny tiny tiny stone chips at either end of the window and then afew months back the council had to re-tar a 1ft wide section of a road I go along on the way to my work depot each morning. the section that had the new tar was about 2 inches higher than the road and their was no choice but to hit it doing about 60km/h. So 2 of the stone chips resulted in 2x 30cm cracks in the screen :D

Since then the council came back and scraped it back so it's level with the rest of the road, idiots!

Luckily it was a free insurance job.

i dont know if any of u guys driven on pittwater road on the northern beaches, this long stretch of road is a piece of crap filled with potholes, and uneven patches of repairs.

majority of it is not even tarmac! its slabs of concrete sealed together with tar, so if you got some stiff suspension your be bouncing in your seat for a few km's. i drive the backstreets just to avoid that crappy road

My favourite is still driving towards Campsie on Parramatta Road (the one right next to the clock tower) - that place is horrendous for pot holes! But after seeing my ex for 2 years, kinda got used to the bumps and learnt how to navigate through it...

Yes, Pittwater road is an absolute bish as well... always sounds like you've got a flat spot on your tyres (all 4 of em :D)

Another one that's really bad is coming into Rockdale from the city, not really pot holes but just a series of ridges on the little bridge, makes the car jump all over the place.

Suspension = TEIN HA Coilovers with damper on setting 16 :D

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By sucram · Posted

      It will give gains, but you wont hit 600 It will give gains but it wont get you to 600 imo. You will also sacrifice low down and you will be adding extra volume if you port match it, more so if you port the plenum runners depending and how its done I think the only time youre going to see about 100hp gains is if the car is making well over 1k kw I do have a spare set that I was going to test with, but i dont actually think there is anything worth getting going larger. I did a fair few S14/S15 and the standard TB is fairly small, I went to 60 and in some cases 64mm which is significant over the stock unit. You can also get some weird ratio changes. I think 20kw will be a stretch on a roller dyno. If I had it apart I might mill the shafts a little and not expect much, I think the stock size is still pretty good for a street/track car even with larger capacity. I might change diameter it if its a drag only car

      rb25 Degreeing cams with hydraulic lifters?

      By r32-25t · Posted

      As long as the bucket stays against the cam then it will measure up fine, the valve will close compared to a running engine but the bucket will stay against the cam lobe
