Drew did you go down near the pines/Palm Beach and pass me and Matt?

I don't know where that is... so probably not :rofl: MRR34 and me did a lap of Cavill, checked out the spit and then went back up to brissy. I will stop and say hi to you at some point, I only see you down there every weekend, its just by the time we park and get out, I can't remember where I saw you :)

Nice dark blue 32 coupe at Logan bout 8:30pm, had a chat with driver, nice bloke, nice ride too!

Slow clap for the QLD Police please , driving along the bruce highway, 10pm at night, northbound, 1.3 kms north of the Kallangur exit, oh look speed camera, nothing unsusal there, hmm ok theres a red camry with red and blue lights, ok, oh look there's another speed camera, and wow theres a squad car, and finnally a police motorbike.

In the space of 800 meters I was amazed to see such a show of force, and it is needed too as that stretch of road has just recently been completly paved and widened to 3 lanes, and every inch of it's flat, straight perfection is a danger because if someone went 1 km over the limit god knows what could happen, good to see my tax dollars are being well spent to pay policemen to sit and do nothing at wierd hours of the night.

And my gosh was it busy, I saw at least 1 car ahead of me, and that truck I passed around the pine rivers bridge would've been at least 2 to 3 kms behind me, is that considered tail gating?

Were you driving a skyline......... plus it was raining, (sort of trying to) and I had been forced to take evasive action on no less than 2 times in the ten mins before that, bloody wankers cant check their blind spots.... but yeah I apologiesed, didnt even see you, but if I had been I would've waved back, you know I would've, why, because I'm Cyrus, that is what I do :O

    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
