Let the cops sort it out now.

Both times I have been pranged in ACT was on roundabouts with ignorant or incompetent fu(kers running out of their lane and crumping the side of my car. I made one old d*ckhead stand in the freezing cold for 20 mins until he admitted that 2 lanes onto a roundabout means you stay in your lane all the way through. He was in the left lane and tried to take the shortest route and ran me up onto the roundabout and still hit me. I was turning right so it wasn't any sort of race to beat him through.

Gave me wrong license details and rego was not transferred when he bought it so when I reported to the AFP they were pretty annoyed. I did see his publice service pass in his car so saw where he worked. Went with the cops to his place of work and they grilled him, fined him and that afternoon he paid his excess for the insurance.

BTW I remember that car from my time in ACT and recall he was a complete wanker, but his small dick machine don't cut it against a quick skyline :cheers:

I also believe all states now have anti road rage laws that are very tough, but you need to make a full statement. Melb is so bad now my wife carries a camera in the car as guys really go insane when she accelerates away from them through traffic or off the lights. Mostly idiots in old crappers too so maybe they have extreme envy. She even had a guy in a truck get out to abuse her because she was next to him in traffic and he put his indicator on and started to pull over on her. She blew the horn and he went stupid at her. Of course when he got out the traffic started moving but another guy stopped to see what the truckie was going to do, so the fool got back in the truck.

I guess the moral here is not to be a dick in ACT as it is too small and you get noticed.

Well done andrew.

There are so many wankers like that around, and all of us wish at times we could take a bat to there head! excuse my french ...haha.

The fact that he was jumping on the brakes like that and then stop his car, says it all!

Dick head!Similar things have happened to me, but it seems to be a jelousy thing.

Speaking of Idiots in falcons. While driving home on that road that goes around the front of black mountain into civic I saw a shiny new XR6T that had slammed into the guard rail. Front of the car was toast, gotta love those crumple zones... and we are the demographic that pays by far the most for insurance, some people gotta bloody learn to drive :)

    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
    • True on both points
    • So there is no other way to remove and install the ball joints then to buy the Frenchys kit?
    • Just to close off this post with the cause of my oil consumption issues. Vertical scoring and glazing at the bottom of cylinder 6. I'm not happy, but at least I finally found something. I'll pull it and get it apart asap. Hopefully I don't need to go one size up in piston. 
    • I finally got around to purchasing an actual articulating borescope. Great tool to have, I've been very impressed vs my old regular inspection camera.  With that being said, sadly I finally found the cause for my oil consumption. I always had the feeling something wasn't right but compression and leak down tests were always perfect and I had already inspected the cylinders. This time i dropped each cylinder to its absolute lowest point and with the better quality camera I found this... Bottom of cylinder 6.  Scoring looks deep and I'm presuming oil getting by caused the glazing. I already spoke with my assembler, and will be dropping it off as soon as I can pull the motor and get it apart. I'm just hoping it's not deep enough to require boring out from 86.5 ->87mm. Pistons aren't cheap.
