Dropped my phone while on my bike :) . - DAMINK™ - 12-29-2009
Ok well i was riding home today and it was quite hot. So i had on only a flannelet shirt. Chucked my phone (nokia n96) in my pocket.
Got to the lights and had some asshat in a hot car want to race me lol.
I took off on the back wheel as you do on a bike and when the wheel come down my bloody phone bounced out of my pocket onto the road
Well it took me about 20 min to find the sim card and a few bits of plastic lol.
Should not have bothered racing. The car had no chance anyhow.Just thought i would share that as a bit of a laugh.

T t t...
I would have done the exact same thing
Is this your bike that had the damage?
RE: Dropped my phone while on my bike :) . - DAMINK™ - 12-29-2009
Yep sure is
I had to go for a ride today. Although its not in mint condition i had my bro come over on his harley so i had to leave work so me and him could go for a ride. Then went back to work and this happened on the way home lol.

Ouch, at least you know your phone wasn't very sturdy. :\

You must have a very flexible workplace!
Today I noticed I had a lot of problems with my car (one break doesn't work amongst other things) and I've been running around trying to fix the problems. Its just freakin annoying!

My boss is cool. And i work hard. So when i want time off its a no question type thing. But im the guy who goes in on weekends and public holidays so it is a question of balance and give and take.
IF you have car problems i could perhaps help. Post a thread in auto area and i will try?

I know this bloke, who owns a massive landscaping comany (flies to QLD from NSW for 3 days a week and returns for a 4 day weekend).
He said that he has a really good mechanic that is employed under him that has a lot of experiences with toyota hilux's
They also have a lot for their company so they should have most the parts lying around. If he doesn't know what then i'll start asking around. I've already seen a mechanic today when it started happening. He took me drifting to test the breaks
RE: Dropped my phone while on my bike :) . - DAMINK™ - 12-29-2009
A break problem can only be a few things IMHO.
Master cylinder. But normally it effects both front OR back.
Slave cylinder which would effect each wheel independently.
But given todays technology it could be an ABS issue.
My question to you is this.
Were all your break pads changed at the same time or just front or back?
At the end of the day. For one break not to work i would say slave all the way. Not pads or anythin like that. Just simply a slave crap its self.
RE: Dropped my phone while on my bike :) . - Extasey - 12-29-2009
Thats what the mechanic said to me this morning. I was at his house so I wasn't going to ask him to fix it, just for advice (I know him personally).
He was trying to tell me what was happening, but I was having trouble following as he said it was really hard to explain and he was having trouble relating it.
I don't have ABS or any of that crap. Not even power steering
And my breaks are only power assisted. He thinks that a bit of moister has gotten into the slave cyclinder and is causing it to do what its doing. He also said that it could cause me to get a spoungy break, because it would heat up and turn to a gas, which is combustible.While I was waiting for a mate to jump in the car later on, I could hear a clicking. To me it sounded like something was sparing. I got opened the bonnet and one of the plugs on the distributor had come off. It was sparking against the distributor itself. I asked one of my other mates who had just walked up the drive (apprentice mechanic) and he told me that it would had been running a bit rough. Which it had. Extremly rough. Felt like the clutch wasn't coming into proper contact.
Also a MASSIVE crack in the air intake tube. It connects the air filter to the engine, I don't know what its called, so I'm pretty much driving around without an air filter ATM (get that fixed tomorrow)
Anyway. I've hijacked the thread
Sorry.

Yep a plug not connected would make it run really rough. A full miss on a 6 cylinder i suspect would cause a big drop in power.
If its simply moisture in the brake line (doubt it) then its a simple bleed.
Here is my trick.
Get a piece of air tube for a fish tank. Like the clear stuff for air pumps.
Put a 10mill or whatever your slave cylinder bolt size is and put that over the hose.
Put the hose over the bleeder. And then put the bleeder hose into a half full bottle of break fluid.
Then take top off break booster/filler area.
Now open bleeder bolt on slave and then pump the break peddle a few times making sure hose is under level of fluid in the bottle.
Do this a few times and problem gone.
If you need more on this then ask. Im a bit pissy currently and may be a bit off on my spelling an punctuation!!!!!
As for hijacking. I did ask you to start another thread so i blame you entirely lol.
Na takes away from my earlier post and thats important lol.
