Spotted Troy in Tuggers today

During the day around 1pm?

Spotted myself rear-ending some guy in his white commodore wagon this afternoon.....he who hesitates is lost, and I must say I can't stand it when someone hesitates at a roundabout. Not to say I wasn't in the wrong, but when someone starts to move forward when there's a break they should follow through on it instead of hitting the brakes.

On that note, WTB front bumper and *maybe* reo for R33.

Front bar is rooted, reo is bashed in (cracked along centre screw...probably just bend back), and bonnet took a hit and arched a little - I just sat on it and thumped it a few times and she looks ok apart from the dint where the impact was lol

Also hoping I haven't damaged the cooler or piping...can't f**king tell thanks to MAP sensor! :(

Spotted the damage I've done to the other dude's car - sweet shit all. Minor dent in the boot (wagon) and some paint exchange on his bumper. Bumper hasn't moved which is good :D should be easy fix. The guy's really understanding about it too, totally apologetic for getting his rage on haha.

On a side note, this was the only upside to that whole day:

    • Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
