When things turn ugly on the road

Last Friday night I was driving home around 11.30pm.  I was driving down  notorious Bell street Preston and stopped at the lights to turn right, next to the Maccas on St Georges Road.  Behind me was a blue lancer with an exhaust you could hear a block away and a full evo body kit.  This shit kicker had three blokes in the car. He then started revving his engine hard.  When I say hard I mean red line, engine breaking revving.  The whole time I'm thinking "Your a bloody tosser"

Anyway the light turns green and he had about as much chance of keeping up as a pot bellied yobbo picking up a grid girl at the F1.

Anyway the story did not end there.  He started following me. I was near home and I went down a few streets in a big circle and the persistant little bastard kept coming.  By now I'm getting pissed off and a little worried so I put the foot down and managed to get a fair way ahead.  I have an eletronic roller door so I hit the 'open' button, drove in and shut the roller door without him seeing where I live.  

Even after doing this I could hear the drone of his exhaust going up and down the sorrounding streets for ages after.

I was nearly tempted to get the old .303 rifle my family has and sit on the roof and blow one of the wheels off his car as he drove past.... Cops would probably have something negitive to say if I did that though...

Anyway have any of you had something like this happen?  Any road rage that has turned into a chase?

Quik: I had the exact same thing happen to me when I had my GTS-T

I was coming home from a friends place about 2am on a Sunday morning and a small car pulled out behind me a few streets from my place. Seing as I could hear yelling from the car behind while it tailgaiting the hell out of me, I knocked the car back a gear and took off down a sidestreet around the corner and they followed. I ended up driving into a carpark at the local shopping centre and waiting 5 mins before driving out and slowly back up the road past the shops only to see him pulling out of a different exit. It was on again.

This time I took off up the highway and once he was out of my mirror i went down a sidestreet, turned around and waiting for the prick to come past but he never did so after about 15 mins of sitting around I head home, watching every direction.

The problem continued when I pulled into my driveway and in my mirror saw the bastards waiting in a culdersac for me - they rolled (with headlights off) up to my driveway while my roller door was going up - I ran in, grabbed a large type baseball bat not knowing what the deal was and jumped back in the car and began to reverse and they took off.

Scared the absolute 5hit out of me and I have been very vigilant ever since.

      When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners

      I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?

      I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.

      RB25 Crankshaft Differences

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
