The general idea with Illawarra and Alexander Drive is to avoid all together! Works for me. I just go around the long way, follow it to the end and get back onto Alexander Drive. Screw waiting at the lights, its a bit like going on a mini cruise by yourself :rofl:

Maybe I'm just too tired, but..

What to the end where? Lol both ends intersect with Alexander.

Edit: And I think lights at that bit are long overdue, it was terrible before that.

+1 for Nicholson Rd/Yale RAB and Leach/Tonkin intersection.

Also Ranford Rd near IGA (Canning Vale) so many ppl just run the intersection rather than giving way to people in the RAB.

My personal fav though is the dual lane RAB intersection Shenton Ave and Marmion. It works well in theory, but too many people just can't cope with dual lane RABs, so many accidents there!

Hutton St at the freeway entries/exits. Gets so busy sometimes, usually traffic gets banked up in one lane but not the other so people try turning across the road not being able to see if there is another car coming along in the other lane at a speed too fast for the conditions. Where do people get the idea that a green light means you are completely safe at an intersection and don't need to adjust your speed if there is shitloads of traffic banked up or even bother to check that an idiot isn't crossing when he shouldn't be?

Pretty sure the bike thing works on power too.. a mate had a 650cc dominator (road/trail) which is able to be used on a small bike license as it only had like 33kW.

Also, don't brake-check cops.. they'll do you for dangerous driving (another mate of mine got done for it).

I'm a good boy :down:

Not really an intersection, but there's a rather large pot hole on alexander drive which I hit today because the puddles were hiding it. Yay for almost ripping the tyre off.

Not a single intersection but any round abouts. . (the double lane ones)

Is it just me or does everyone on the outside lane ALWAYS cut into the inside lane and make you get really close to the roundabout?

I cant remember how many times this has happened to me and ive been forced up the curb on the inside of the roundabout. . happens just about every week. .

And like stinky rooster said, the roundabout on armadale rd. . Happens mostly there and the one further up in forrestdale (still on armadale rd)

STAY IN YOUR LANE!!!

I'll admit that I do this, but only if there isnt anyone in sight. Seriously, who is stupid enough to cut someone off? Thats just stupidity.

Also, its a 7 demerit point fine apparently, thats the other reason I only do it when no one is around ;)

Gnangara rd and Beechboro rd at peak hr, AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

I've had to hit the skids for a couple of noodles that turned infront of me while heading west on gnangara. And trying to get onto gnangara from beechboro is nearly impossible

I dont know about dangerous but my picks do require a little more vigilance.

Freeway overpass at Hutton st..clowns changing lanes in the turn, then is standard nonsense down to W.A.'s old shop

Walcott and Beaufort. Every yuppie for themselves

Mirrabooka and Reid. I don't know why but there is always evidence of carnage

Right turn exit off Kwinana to Canning...make up you minds ppl, are you going into the Raffles or not?

Leach from Northlake to the Freeway anytime after 3pm on a Friday...Indy 500 without the skillz.

And any place I ride my Triumph

I still fail to see how that's dangerous, all the accidents there are because people skip the lights. Fault of the people, not the intersection.

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Butters · Posted

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.

      I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
