I don't think its actual law to let anybody in.. but of course its nice.

From what I've heard - if an accident occurs like that

and the other party hits the left side of your car and you were in front it would be his fault for refusing to give way to your vehicle. Anybody know whether that is true?

People who move, and *then* indicate or even worse don't indicate at all in heavy traffic should be taken off the side of the road and beaten.

I drive a 1980 Mazda 323 with cobwebs, Because of people being such shits on the road when you try to do the right thing, I do what I want when I want now, always making sure I am in the right....mostly. In this car people dont be pushy to you cause they know you don't give a shit about your car....

If I take the 'line for a spin every ****er wants to race you...beat you to this merge, and so the list goes on....

My dad's Patrol ute with bullbar, spotties, 6" lift kit etc is great for this. I suppose a lot of people don't want it in front of them, so they pull the "speed up and fill the gap" trick as soon as the indicator starts flashing. So you just keep turning... and turning... and smiling... and turning. Most people get the idea pretty quick but I've been within inches of a couple of idiots - but they always move in the end :P ALWAYS give a thankyou wave with a big smile afterwards.

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
