Of crashing. Yeah it has an airbag - but when I hear a crash on the TV - I am pyshically sick, if I come up a bit quick to another car all I see is the accident. If I am driving and its stressful - like heavy rain or something I can;t breath properly. I never used to be like this - i was confident before

Liz I have been in more accidents than most ( usually as a navigator ) but found that by having confidence in your safety equipment and your self , the fear subsides fairly quick.

With the amount of times I have been in a roll ( bout 25 ) I worked out I am not destined to die in a motor car.

i think we should organize some sorta wet skid pad day

-my friend fully crashed his s15 the other day because he lost traction and panicked,did the wrong thing and braked..and flipped his car

Unfortunately , there is no one in Perth who has a skidpan.

When it rains at the MC track , it's great fun though.

lol @ ken.. after 25 rolls (separate occasions?!) then i'd say you have a correct hypothesis.. :D

Nah , 1 rotation is a roll. Was in a Triumph herald ( shaddup ) rally car that went over 31/2 times and caught fire.

Wrote off my rx7 rally car at a Sth Australia rallysprint with a 31/2 ( including 2 in the air ) .

Targa was 1 or so in 2001.

2 with my dad in a Datsun 1600 rally car

The list goes on...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
