People who get all road-ragey at you when THEY'RE the one in the wrong. Like the guy who felt the need to gesture out the window and swerve all over the road and point at the speed camera because I dared to come up behind him doing 80 in a 80 zone. He was doing 60. And no I didn't tailgate or anything.

Nothing makes me want to ram someone off the road, grab them by the throat, and explain to them why they're a f**kwit more. If I was the violent type. Which I'm not :P

This is why you should keep used spark plugs in the centre console lol

People who stop 3m behind the white line at a red light.

People (two or more different people), who park on a suburban street (say, maximum 2-3 lanes unmarked), on opposite sides of the road, right at the entrance of the road- thus creating a bottleneck in/out of the road - too lazy to park that extra 5m into their driveways (I found out they were too lazy because the morning after I left a thinly-veiled note on their windscreens, cars were magically parked in driveways/only on one side of the street - they had continued their previous behaviour for MONTHS prior, and now, not a single repeat).

Solution is to surfboard wax the message on their windscreen. The inconvenience of getting that off will teach them not to be lazy lol

This conversation has stayed with me as a reminder as to the calibre of people on the road.

After I nearly got wiped off the road by someone trying to merge on top of me we pull up to a set of lights, windows down.

Wat mate?

Me: it's called a blind spot, maybe you should check it sometime.

Him: if it's a blind spot, then how am I suppose to check it?

All I could do was laugh and shake my head in disbelief.

drive off, he then pulls into my lane and in front at the next set of lights. Then tries to fake reverse into me.... Sigh.

This is why car manufacturers really supply tyre irons (for other driver adjustment) in the boot lol

21. Jamming the passenger door into the ground then getting into the car, putting more weight on the side of the car and jamming the door deeper, then pulling hard just to get it unstuck. Extra nasty if the door is stuck against the concrete sidewalk

22. Dragging shoes and bags over the door sill plate, door trims and glove box lid while getting into the car

Technically this ones an IQ test: Jamming the seat belt buckle into the centre console since they can't be bothered looking where the clasp is

This ones for the druggies out there: Playing with sun visors or power windows non stop

23. Dragging stuff over the boot loading lip or bumper bar while loading and unloading

24. Not closing the windows when exiting someone else's car.

25. People who don't learn how to reverse park their over sized suv/4wd, take freakin ages doing it and still fail to park properly.

26. People who don't wave after you've given them space to change lanes, pull out of driveways, side streets, etc in traffic. Unappreciative twats.

27. People doing under the speed limit in a T2 lane with no passengers in peak traffic.

28. People sitting in your blindspot constantly when merging into a 1 lane, clearly knowing they have to back off so you can merge, but decide to at the last second within inches.

Slamming car doors, lowring the bonnet then pushing it closed, other people leaning on your car, camry/corolla/kluger/accord/jazz/avalon drivers and people who can f*#@King use their blinker.....

Hehe...

Just doing fellow cabin members a favour.

When an ambulance is espied coming up behind but still far off, I recommend flashing the car in front of you just before pulling back into an undertaking lane.

    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
    • I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?
    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
