My usual route is coorparoo, onto pacific mwy. Turbot st turnoff, then follow it all the way to gips st then turn left and then up to gregory tce then turn left. But sometimes I freak and think that im going the wrong way and make a wrong turn.

sounds like you just need to chill... the city is dead at night.

Just look up google maps, print it out or something.

Hmm, to come or not? That is the question.

I dont have a gps. So I would get lost as soon as I enter the city. Epic fail is epic.

:/ the city isnt that hard

If I can do it week in and week out without a GPS, anyone can. Just print out some google maps. Pull over if required and memorise that sh*t.

Branno, if you have a GPS and you take a wrong turn it will figure it out and re-route you to the right way..... Just drive, follow the road and relax. Or get someone to drive behind.

If you are scared of driving you might want to not drive so much and put the rest of us in danger by not focusing on driving, but everything else...

On another note, I realise why the boys in blue like to watch over us sometimes. Was just reading up on the Anti-Hoon law Legislation. It states "Parking up: when hoons gather in large numbers, look at each others cars, network and

arrange illegal behaviours."

Although we dont gather in large number, I think that they believe there is something fishy going on.

Serious. I have never really read up on it, but "Parking up"? LOL. Well we technically don't classify as "parking up" even in a large group becasue we don't staisfy all their criteria in the definition. We have to "arrange illegal behaviour" firstly.

Also, how can they prove that we are 'arranging illegal behaviour'?

It was just something interesting that I was looking up because victoria are making their anti-hoon laws even more strict.

I love their description for a stereotypical hoon.

"The slightly rebellious, sunglass clad, ever so cool dude, usually spotted behind the

wheel of something special, his arm mysteriously jutting out the window, usually

with a smile a mile wide – he has an abnormally heavy right foot and it is believed

gasoline flows freely in his veins.

They even specify them to either be behind the wheel of a holden or ford sedan or a 'high performance japanese models'

Found it quite an entertaining read.

that definition of a "hoon" is from a website... it was a 'tongue-in-cheek' website from memory...

It's just funny how they used said definition in their paper and said "impressive definition". How do they expect someone to take such a thing seriously when they use something like that as a reference.

Besides, we're not hoons when it comes to our meets so the cops can pass by all they want.

In all the time we have met at the loop I can recall the Police coming in there about 3 times. Twice they drove through and did nothing. Once they stopped and asked what we were doing. I replied catching up for coffee and a chat(as there were a few with hot drinks in hand). They told us we couldn't meet here and then looked at all the cars. Everyone was parked in a parking spot between all the lines so there was nothing they could do as we were all behaving ourselves. When one of them asked me why we meet where we do I replied because we wanted to get away from the morons who hang around milton Maccas doing stupid stuff. Plus I told them we didn't want such behaviour or we'd kick the offenders out. They got in the car and drove off and haven't seen them back since....

Unless we are returning from a Nebo run and we happen to drag at a set of lights past a cop car...

we actually have a legal right to lawful/peaceful assembly. As previously posted, they'd have a hard time proving we were planning "unlawful activity".

Most they can do is give what is known as a move on direction, but for that certain criteria must be met and without getting long winded about it we don't even come close.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
