So last weekend i was driving to Airlie Beach to see family at around 7pm at night on the highway. I noticed a black Monaro fast approach me from behind, with high beams on driving like a f**khead.

I tilted my rearview mirror and ignored him for a bit, then he pulled out and overtook me then slowed right down. The driver then put his window down and aggressively pointed to the side of the road telling me to pull over. At this point i was like "is there something wrong with my car, is he trying to steal my car, does he just want to chat about the car"

I also noticed there was another person in the front seat so there was no way i was going to pull over driving by myself.

So i put my foot down and passed him, but he quickly got up my arse again with highbeams. It stayed like this for another 20 odd km until i got into airlie where i tried to pretend i was going somewhere else by taking the wrong turn around a round about but he continued to follow me.

At this point in time i was shitting myself, luckily i noticed the Police station to my left so i pulled in. Amazingly the guy followed me in, but i noticed in my rearview mirror he reversed and turned around and i actually ended up around the back of the cop shop in the lock up area so i was actually tresspassing but the cops were very understanding.

Ideas?

I'm no expert but yes I would say you either would have gotten robbed and/or had your car taken from you. Did you manage to get the plates on the Monaro for the cops?

Bottom line is there is no way they would have been that aggressive if they just wanted a friendly chat!

True, first thing the 2 officers said was "how many killowatts is this thing" and "did you get his plates"

sadly enough no i didnt, i was stressing the f**k out lol.

I've heard about this car. One of the boys from work was driving home from Bowen and a black holden was harrassing him. He got the mega shits and pulled over in the truckstop, waited for them to get out and dropped the clutch. Sprayed him with gravel and boosted home... He has a charged SV8. Reakons that was the last he saw of the car... We were making jokes about a Ghost Bogan on the highway but it must be the real deal. o.O

Did he mention there being more than 1 person in the car? Also what does your mate drive, if it's rare/custom then they must be trying to steal them. That's f**ked hey, hope i never see that dickhead again..

Were you driving in the right lane, 5 under the speed limit, overtaking no one?

I often get the urge to get these people to pull over so I can skull f**k them.

Sitting on 105 in 100km zone, no one else on the road and it wasn't an overtaking lane.

I get the same feeling aha but i honestly wasn't doing anything stupid.

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
