the council conpired against me, planting trees to obstuct a stop sign, knowing that if i passed my test i would be placing several lives in danger with my car

PS. I am preparing for the shit i will get in the next couple of days...

Bad luck mate. My 2c... driving a powerful car on your Ps, meh its attitude. But driving a nice car when you are inexperienced, ie missing stop signs, following cars too closely, braking too late, even parking, so many of my friends have bumped things trying to park:(

Can i ask how many / kms hrs you reckon you have done whilst on your Ls?

Dont worry too much , i failed the 1st time. They claim i parked in a dangerous and unsafe manner?!? Basically he told me to angle park, and one of the cars was over his white line so it was a tight squeeze to get the car in, but i gave the tester as much space as possible to get out so cramped my side of the car. Apparently i should have told the tester the space is too small and looked for another. LOL despite the fact the i was still between the white lines and i could still get out my side of the car:)

Yeah they are reaaaaaalllllyyy tight now. Everything else was perfect except for that... i wanted to punch that assesor.

Hmmm i have driven alot. Normally drive everyday to school for 30min for the past 2 years. + any other trips. So it would be alot.

Ahh well better luck next time :D

I actually had the same thing on my driving test. But someone had stolen the sign!!!

I stopped and looked at the pole and went "ummm" then saw the solid line on the road so I knew it was a stop sign, but yeah. I am pretty sure they do things like that deliberately.

Never mind, you failed for a reason and I guess your just not ready for the roads, thats why they have these tests. I'm sure you do fine next time. Just keep your eyes peeled and remember to look for the unbroken white line if there is no stop sign visible.

i know you think you can drive, but only 1 lession before the test??? i had 4 lessions and that was for an auto lisence not because i needed them for skill but i learnt so much from the instructor re safety, learning the roads, how to 3-point turn/parallel park properly by their rules etc... the fact that you are asking SAU how to change gears before a turn/roundabout means you are in serious trouble at the minute

if you ask me i would say postpone the test for 2 weeks (what's 2 weeks in the context of a lifetime of driving) go get some lessions and tee-up the car you are going to use. learn from your lessions, don't show off to the instructor. they are trained to teach you.

please read the above

it would have saved you the embarrassment of failing a test but you learnt the hard way

as Hours said, you failed for a reason - you aren't up to the standard. don't use excuses...

go get some lessons

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
