I remember posting last year about getting my L's... Now, on towards bigger and better things, but, I have a few questions.

I've payed for my test and filled out the green sheet but;

Do I need to take some extra cash to pay for the license?

Do I need to take all that birth certificate and extra identification up again?

Is there anything in particular i should look out for that the testers tend to focus on etc?

Any help is appreciated :D

It would help if you specified what state you were in. Probably a good idea to post this in a state specific forum.

But yes it costs money, as far as I know the only ID you need is your L's.

As far as what you should look out for, just do everything right. Don't f**k up.

Hope that helps. :D

dont boost it!!!!!!!

lol just drive as if u are with really really old frale lady,and you would want to make her feel very safe, before doing all ur main test, hillstarts, 3 point turns all that just think about the main points of the exercise e.g hillstart indicate right, mirros checks shoulder, dont roll back, or spin the wheels

nerves are what kicked my arse... but once ur rolling it gets a little easier.. good luck and post how u went... what are u driving for the test?

oh and... 2 hands on the wheels when ever possible, lots of mirror and shoulder checks, use handbrake on hills..... and around corners lol jks

good luck mate... just bring teh cash - it cant hurt.

in qld, we only need to bring our L's, as to the licensing

we have an option of like 1year or 3 years and 5/6 years? obviously the 5/6 (cant remember) years option is the cheapest in the long run - so go with that.

just remember to be polite to the examiner ie. say hello, shake hands.

and even if you get an asshole examiner (like i did) just keep calm and do everything so damn good that even he cant find a mistake (like i did) =)

ohh remember to dress nicely for your photo (because i didn't) :D

cheers

eug

Was pretty nervous during the test.. until i found the route we were taking.. happened to be around my area, even ended up going through my street :P Thanks for the help guys :P

oh and yea i passed :)

    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
