If You Ever Needed A Good Reason To Get Full-comp...


Recommended Posts

Yeah, the guy in the echo did a right turn infront of us without checking to see if all lanes were clear. He drove into the front right of the BM which then put us onto a collision course with a power pole.

thats very strange....wonder if the kid is still alive or if his parents have killed him......

airbags didnt go off. wernt going fast enough... Insurance company will be doing all the 'cleaning'.. I have no sympathy for anyone his situation. If you are stupid enough to see the stakes are so high just to drive around then when you lose out you can deal with it. I took that same route in the DB9 a few weeks back... Imagine if he hit that.

thats not a pretty sight. yeah that particular section sees alot of accidents. ive had my fair share of close calls there.

the kid probably wanted to play some lan games..lol i dont think he will be playing or walking for a while when his parents have their way with his arse.

surprised the kid didnt do a runner..lol.

insurance is good.

  • 2 weeks later...

geez ouch... glad you guys are okay, had you been going quicker it could have been really bad... nice to have 1.5 tonnes of german engineered metal around you when sh!t like that happens... riding a motorbike FTL!

and what happened to teh mad dutton driving skillz... you should have yanked the handbrake and drifted around the pole;)

LOL @ the bimmer with kit pic

stupid unlicensed drivers....

hitting an E39 is bad enough (come near my M5 and all hell would have broken loose), but it could have been a LOT worse... could have been a P1 lambo or something. His life would have been financially ruined. He'll still be paying off the insurance company for years..

Now come on... what do you have knockoff E60 M5 wheels on the E39 for? :worship: If anything put a set of E39 M5 wheels on.... but make sure they are original :excl:

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
