For I-6 B-series cars, accelerator flat to the floor whilst cranking over is supposed to reset cam phasers?
Is this true or not? I'd like to know because I can only find reference in the manual to disabling injectors on start up? |

Common misconception - we can all share the road.
Unless your vehicle has an engine, bugger off. Before you get all uppity and have a tantrum, try this. Take your pick of any road you like. Any one at all. Now track down the traffic engineer responsible for it and ask him if it was designed with lycra in mind. Obviously, cycle lanes are a different story. Or they would be, if they actually got used.

That toyota was no slouch, even the cops here that use it say they have some punch for a family car. And no I have no desire to go into the "but it's a FWD" thing. The statement was it has no performance, which seems is a misconception.

why do cyclists always have to wear lycra? there are plenty of other more comfortable outfits you could wear while cycling, i guess its the same with all the sheep wearing skins while playing football.

You have to be kidding, just because you have no interest in cycling does not mean they have no rights on the road. The simple fact is they do, society allows that as do the road laws. So I would suggest you get used to it, or you could choose not to use the road. I ride and I drive professionally, it is rare that a cyclist annoys me but it is frequent that motorists annoy me, review the gripes here and 99% apply to motorists and not cyclists. So if I was forced to choose one or the other, get rid of motorists as they cause more problems.

The thing is this highway is considered to have lanes that are too narrow, so there's a big upgrade planned over the next couple of years. there's no sealed shoulder for most of it (at least not enough to ride on) so cyclists, and there's a few of these crazy guys that often ride to work at Worsley refinery - would have to be 40-50km each way including a very long steep hill - ride on the road rather than the shoulder - its not like they're going to ride in the gravel on their fancy road bike with 120psi tyres... On a couple of occasions, I've been in a line of cars travelling home when the front car has seen the cyclist ahead, but swerves around at the last moment, leaving the following cars with little time to react. I thought at the time that a cyclist is going to get hit one of these days and apparently that is the exact circumstance of the bloke being killed last week. So while I agree that there isn't (and shouldn't be) any legal reason to stop cyclists using the road, I question the wisdom of putting your life at risk just to "prove a point". You can argue that the fault lies with the bloke who swerved around at the last minute for not allowing time for the others to react, or you can blame the one who hit the cyclist for not leaving enough room to respond to unforseen hazards (2 second rule???), but being able to blame someone else is small consolation after you've been killed |

Yeah but how many cars on on the road compared to cyclists. Of course you see more idiots in cars. I believe that cyclists have a much higher % of idiots amongst them, but still obviously more stupid people in cars. I ride bike...... off the road though. The reason I don't ride on the road is because I don't like delaying car drivers and making everyone slow down when attempting to overtake me. So much more enjoyable on a dirt track in the bush then having cars trucks and buses passing 3 inch next to you. |

if you have a fly in your car whilst you're travelling at 100km/h, it does not mean the fly is flying at 100km/h..

Can't expect much different really, with so many members having personal agendas up their sleeve it's almost impossible for anything to stay on topic and useful on the forum of late. The idea for the thread is great, it's a shame one has to wade through so much dribble to find facts. I had bit of a cleanup and suggest this thread stay on topic. Any budding comedians or trolls can expect warning points/ negative rep from me. For the benefit of those who struggle with reading and comprehension I shall re post the OP: Quote:

A couple of appropriate ones...
Muscle cars must be V8s If you own a fast modded car and are a car enthusiast you are an above average driver....... |

Strictly, I'd call it a Pony Car. Like a 65 Mustang. I'd also be fine with it being called a muscle car, because I'm not that ****.
I'm more a stickler for the vintage. To me, muscle cars are from a bygone era. Why can't excellent cars like the F6 just stand in their own right?

I thought the whole idea of a muscle car was an ordinary run of the mill car that somebody has increased the power of to insane tyre shredding levels, knowing the car is overpowered for the chassis it goes onsale anyway....

Mark Webber will be lucky to win a race or two, but he will never be a contender for the F1 drivers championship. Our media only supports him because he's an Aussie.
(Hope you do well on Sunday Mark!!!)
