And Beer Baron, of Sydney, blamed the drivers for their choice of residence.

"Suck it up people, you want to move to the Central Coast deal with these issues," he said.

"How anyone would want to travel so far to and from work is beyond me. It was a petrol tanker people - if the thing had blown up and killed people you would still whinge ... Labor, Liberal, Nationals, Greens they are all the same and the result would have been no different."

Hahaha, good point there.

I used to live on the coast, although public transport was a joke, there was 2 sets of traffic lights between tuggerah and doyalson... it had its bad and good points.

Now the place sucks. Bogans driving around in their commodores... i am glad i escaped while i had the chance.

As for the F3, well... i find it you sit on 100k/hr you don't have a problem at all. until there is an accident.

For me, traveling 60kms each way to work is not a problem, i go through 3 sets of traffic lights between tuggerah and hornsby, u tell me somewhere in sydney that u can do that, I have worked in sydney all my life and lived on the coast, u get the problems of things like this happening.

Yes it was a petrol tanker, and another truck, 90% of MAJOR freeway closures are due to trucks f**king up. And most of these would not have anything to do with cars. Maybe its time that truck drivers under go more training or speed limits be lowered.

The place doesnt suck man, i work in sydney all day and then come home and its so peaceful on the coast, u can breathe easy and realy the area isnt over crouded like sydney.

$28 million dollars has been spent on the contra flow systems, and these wernt opened up until 8-9 hours after the accident happened..WTF..

Myself and Qantas were stuck in this.. finished work at 5 at hornsby and got home at 9.30 at tuggerah.. its a joke.

We were on the old road and we had a truck behind us.. i was leaving a 1 to 2 car gap and letting the car crawl in first, to save the clutch a bit, and this truckie was just CM off our back bumper, flashing his lights and honking the horn.. he of all ppl can see quite well that the traffic wasnt moving at all..

Well, thinking back on it... only the part between Wyong and Toukley sucks. I cannot comment on the rest of it. Lived there for 15 years of my life and I grew up with people that inhabit the area. I can tell you now that it has left a lasting impression on me.

As for the over-crowding - if only the council upgraded the infrastucture before opening up all the land releases...

I find it so funny everyone always dumping shit on the central coast, when it's such I pain in holidays and round xmass with all the city people running around our beaches, some people hate the coast but most people love it, if it was such a bogan place I can see why we get all the city siders here bothering us with there stupid ways time and time again.

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
