lol this happened to me just the other day. this orange xr8 ute came flying. i just pulled over and let him go. The last thing i want is to get rear ended. even tho it wouldnt be my fault, i just dont have the time to chase up insurance claims and have the car off the road.

A until they hassle me.

C if they tailgate REAL close and are giving the bird etc.

D if they obviously wanna get past, but aren't being tools about it.

Ditto. 'cept also watching their behaviour in answer A will play a big part in the rest. ie. If they look like they're on LSD or drunk I'll get the hell outta the way no matter what and that's a given.

Screwed if I'm getting hit by an uninsured deadshit.

A....

If they tail gate then i slow right down... Because i want to give them the extra stopping distance if i need to stop....

In my old car, i hit the brakes really hard once when i was being tail gated really bad and he was gonna kill me... He pulled out in front then ripped the hand brake and got out of his car with a steering lock... I s$#t myself and hit the hand brake and took off.... From now on ill stick to my speed and if they hit me in the event of emergeny braking then the police can sort it out.... Thats what their for....

I would confiscate their car and ban all others like it, then have the speed limit in the area reduced by 10km/h.

Seriously though, generally I'll let people past if it's safe to do so (or if it's even more dangerous NOT to get out of their way), otherwise they can sit back and wait, I'm not going to break the road laws or jeapordise myself and my car/bike to let them through.

as most ppl....A

unless they were looking a bit agressive and road-ragey...in that case i'd pull over and let them get the hell away from me!

As above... either A or D, depending on their attitude/if they look like they'll hit me if i don't get out of the way etc.

D/ Let the moron go past.

Many times times in situations like this, I have noticed the moron rapidly gaining on me from behind at illegal speeds, was in an unmarked car, and wearing a police uniform.

They just love to drive fast themselves and bait people.

Either of the four, depending on my mood.

Ditto!

If i was feeling bitchy that day Id slow down and make a right nuisance of myself or id slow down then floor it and watch them try to keep up. Excels seem to be the dags that try n hang off ya butt and its always funny watching them trying to keep up.

If i was feeling in a happy with the world mood then Id just turn up the music carry on my merry way and ignore them.

I would go "A" first up.

If there were overtaking opportunities I would go "C" and slow down to give him/her the hint to go for it.

If I was driving my work bus I would go "D" and pull over because it will only do about 40 flat out.

    • Solid update, got all the downforces now.  You going to be running aus time attack again? love the jacking solution, spend the dollars on what makes it go fast is best way.
    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
