so are we just picking on 35's or can we blame the mazda 3's also

I followed a 3 up Henry Robert today and it went quite well. Apart from that I am a bit confused.

But is that normal??

+1 for the 1000 pages ;) maybe we should all start a class action against the government (ah la vodafone) for never teaching ppl to drive in the first place. we could all claim to have PTSD from driving on the rd with them. but seriously, these threads can be a good for venting frustration, but careful you dont get it closed. my gripe goes to all the van and SUV drivers out there!! get the F#%K out of the right lane when our not overtaking!!

Why limit it to van and soft-roaders?

ANYONE doing either the speed limit or under should get the f**k out of the right lane.

If you are overtaking, please do not do so by travelling 1 or 2kph "faster" than those in the left lane, just get the hell around them and get outta the way FFS!

+1 ^^ for hughesy looses it!

but not only the right lane, when theres a free lane, and your about to turn onto it to speed up abit, then someone decides to go in that lane and just cruise 10k's under the limit!

Why the hell do they need to go into that lane, when they we're going just as slow/fast as the one they were in which wasnt free.

I call them "Community Police",:rant:

They spend their lives getting everyone's way, so that nobody does things that they don't think should be happening; ie, Speeding, drinking, people having fun, etc

I followed a woman in a Landcruiser for 15km last week, who sat, pacing along in the right hand lane, next to the right hand rear wheels of a Semi trailer ; too scared to go past I imagine, but plainly too stupid to realise she's sitting in the most dangerous position possible.

Eventually, the truck driver virtually ran over the front of her car changing lanes to allow the traffic to pass by in the left hand lane. All the while she was trying to cut back into the left lane to block the traffic again.

Didn't want to go past, just didn't want anyone else to...

That part of my trip took easily 15 mins longer than normal because of this brain donor...

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
