:mage: Yesterday morning coming to work i was driving down Commercial Rd and as i crossed Punt Rd the green light turned amber ( Note i was not the last one through the intersection) but there was a van on my right turning right up Punt blocking the veiw of the idiot driving a old merc from turning the other way down Punt. instead of waiting until he was clear or for the red to turn as soon as the amber came on he turned right in front of me, luckily for him and his insurance company my reflex's where good enough to just miss him but very unlucky for me and my savings my reflex's where not good enough to stop me from smashing up the arse of the new Alfa infront of me!!!!!!!! as the trafffis had already backed up. AS soon as i sore the Alfa i broke and turned hard left but needed about another 1m so now he has big dint in his left rear bumber and the right front of my baby has bout 3.5 to 4 K of damage :mad::D:)

Soooooo this idiot in the merc drives away like nothing happened, to live out his useless life as the dick who caused me my first accident and $1450 in excess.

Just is not fair!

the lady at Just Cars told me if i had crashed in to the merc would have been his fault but as i crashed into the back of the Alfa its mine SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANGRY

I would be pissed too!

I dont have full comp so I am more than happy to wreck the car of whatever idiot pulls a stunt like that instead of trying to avoid it and end up doing damage to my own car.

I would get shafted either way.

Bad luck mate.

    • Is there a way to adjust all of the pedals in an R32 GTS-T? they all sit even, but seem to be a little high for my liking.
    • Lucky man, who owns it in the family? Any pics? 
    • The engine stuff is Greg Autism to the Max. I contacted Tony Mamo previously from AFR who went off to make his own company to further refine AFR heads. He is a wizard in US LS world. Pretty much the best person on earth who will sell you things he's done weird wizard magic to. The cam spec is not too different. I have a 232/234 .600/603 lift, 114LSA cam currently. The new one is 227/233 .638 .634. The 1.8 ratio roller rockers will effectively push this cam into the ~.670 range. These also get Mamo'ified to be drilled out and tapped to use a 10mm bolt over an 8mm for better stability. This is what lead to the cam being specced. The plan is to run it to 6800. (6600 currently). The Johnson lifters are to maintain proper lift at heavy use which is something the LS7's supposedly fail at and lose a bit of pressure, robbing you of lift at higher RPM. Hollow stem valves for better, well everything, Valve train control. I dunno. Hollow is better. The valves are also not on a standard valve angle. Compression ratio is going from 10.6 to 11.3. The cam is smaller, but also not really... The cam was specced when I generated a chart where I counted the frames of a lap video I had and noted how much of the time in % I spent at what RPM while on track at Sandown. The current cam/heads are a bit mismatched, the standard LS1 heads are the restriction to power, which is why everyone CNC's them to get a pretty solid improvement. Most of the difference between LS1->LS2->LS3 is really just better stock heads. The current cam is falling over about 600rpm earlier than it 'should' given the rest of my current setup. CNC'ing heads closes the gap with regards to heads. Aftermarket heads eliminate the gap and go further. The MMS heads go even further than that, and the heads I have in the box could quite easily be bolted to a 7.0 427ci or 454 and not be any restriction at all. Tony Mamo previously worked with AFR, designed new heads from scratch then eventually founded his own business. There he takes the AFR items and performs further wizardry, CNC'ing them and then manually porting the result. He also ports the FAST102 composite manifold: Before and after There's also an improved racing crank scraper and windage tray. Helps to keep oil in the pan. Supposedly gains 2% power. Tony also ports Melling oil pumps, so you get more oil pressure down low at idle, and the same as what you want up top thanks to a suitable relief spring. There's also the timing chain kit with a Torrington bearing to make sure the cam doesn't have any thrust. Yes I'll post a before and after when it all eventually goes together. It'll probably make 2kw more than a setup that would be $15,000 cheaper :p
    • Because the cars wheels are on blocks, you slide under the car.   Pretty much all the bolts you touched should have been put in, but not fully torque up.   Back them off a turn or two, and then tighten them up from under the car with the wheels sitting on the blocks holding car up in the air.
