Running the gauntlet every day for work = i.e. the monash freeway for two hours each day used to be a pleasant experience. But now - it seems there is heaps of debris all over the freeways??!!

Last week, tire tread (probably from hoons the previous weekend?) was hrown onto my lane (where i was in the far left hand lane) from the right lane by a 4wd ...mind u i was going at 100km/h - crunch! rode over it with my left hand tire - front lip knocked outta place. Front left fog light cover lost >_< ;; -$40 ...batteled to go to work ---but couldn't go over 80+km as the underguard was seriously knocked around and the clips fell off :angry: ...took her to local panel beaters and they threw in some screws for free :D

Tonight...Project El Cheapo was caught in a sandwhich!! Full W-T-F man! <_< lemmii paint the scene:

Lights: -------BMW 5 $erie$ ------ME ------VT Commodore---------FORD TERRORITORY (who didn't see the red light!!!) *bang**bang*bang*bang* .... to make things worse the Bmw driver thought i drove into her, and didn't even realise that other ppl were behind me taking details and left!!! ? ?

The rolla is tought - the rear bumper impact absorber took most of the brunt, leaving a minor crimple mark. The front lip and bumper coped it from the bmw... :( frikkin' bit#ch A55 lady goes to me 'BMW rear bumpers arn't cheap, you know?' ____WTF man? >_<;; and then follows.... "Just Cars Insurance? Never heard of them??"

*sigh* :unsure: i swear it's either i'm cursed, or it's GG (grey Goose\ Project El Cheapo\ The Cursed Cruiser...etc.etc) :ph34r: ....haha, funny thing is i'm still waiting on coilovers and carbon fibre style rear vision mirrors (cyclist...$_$) ---- i wish i had a HUMMER H1 so i could of rode over the BMW GRRR :lol:

Sorry to hear man! hope it all gets sorted asap!

The Lady in the Terriorioty already claimed responsibility for all three of us...as the VT Commodore was stationary as was the BMW and myself - only thing is - Dragon Lady took off before getting any details...wait for it....to go to the TUlla marine to see her son, who got tail ended!!! W___T____FFF???? :huh::huh::ph34r: So she's probably still in a boil that some azn P plater dude ran intot he back of her who probably doesn't have insurance, so she's going to steal what ever she can lay her hands on :angry: - but i shall ring dragon lady tomorrow morning at 830 (when commoners start work) and tell her to claim it off somebody else - that's b4 she cuts sick at me ;)

Sorry to hear that mate, I hope everything works out for you.

You could always call the cops as mayby the other drivers have already reported it and you can get the 4WD details and give it to that BMW lady. At least it would get her of your back.

I dont think going to the police will get her off your back...

She saw you as an easy target and just let ripe on you...Just ride it out and you will get everything fixed and she wont bother you again

Rang Just Cars today - they were very understanding and helpful. I gave all the registration numbers and phone contact details. They even said taht i don't have to bother with dragon lady, just hand ball her off to just cars :lol: My car can be fixed sooner than expected - i'm required to get 2 quotes and then an assessor will come to my work place to have a look at her B)

Coil overs should be delivered soon LOL - i'm going to check my lotto ticket *fingers crossed*

Drive Safe, even though those aroudn you can't ;)

Misunderstood people are often angry...I'm sure you will be fine, as there are plenty of witnesses. If its one on one, I've known the victim to become the accused. It sucks.

sounds terrible jules..

so your corollaz still safe 2 drive?? after all the crap youve been through in your car id consider changing my route to work/home man! melbourne roadz seem pretty damn rough!

but yea, glad youre alright!

i actually witnessed a similar incident few years back... 1999-2000 i think?

i was stopped on the right lane of an intersection next2 neeta city shops in fairfield when a brand spankin new (at the time) PATROL (lady driver) slammed into the 3cars in front which were waiting for the red traffic lights to turn green. pretty terrible scene.. but yea lucky i was further back in the right lane! lady in the patrol had her head down on the steeringwheel for like 30 secondz... then i saw her lift her head she was in tears, kinda in shock over after realising what she had just done.

very unfortunate but yea at least the lady in the territory is takin full responsability! i was told in that sorta situation that the car behind pays for the car directly in front... that never sounded right 2 me..

but yea good that territory lady payin 4 all of it!

do you still have to pay excess? guess not since shes claiming it all on her insurance ay?

anyhoo.. so... r u strippin elcheapo for parts now ?

*jjcru23r fliez over greygoose like vulcher over dead carcass* :)) hehe jkz

That sux. But glad it's sorted.

There's always alot of shredded tyre left overs on the monash. They're usually the re-treads delaminating from truck tyres and especially bad in the 3rd (right hand side) lane. You always have to on the look out for them.

:( the front lip is sorta cracked - tiniest of cracks :( :(

:angry: Angry dragon lady and evil zelda husband tried to sue me today for 600 in damages - i palmed them off like footballers do to potential tacklers and told them to ring Just Cars :D

Dragon lady reckons the way to sort this out is:

1. She sues me

2. I sue COmmodore

3. Commodore sues 4wd lady ??? WTF kind of justice is that? ?

:angry: El Cheapo aint' dead, she's merely in rehab :lol: need just 2 quotes and then an assessor will come out and have a squiz at the car

Just Cars Insurance, muchly recommended, great customer service - hehe didn't have to pay excess which is a relief - they are sorting everything out, alll i have to do is palm it all off to them :D

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
