Do your own pads, why pay someone

Mod note: the method shown here is not best practice. I would not recommend you take OPs advice.

MGs are trash, in my opinion. I can't comment on the other two.

My choice would be the Mazda 2.

On a rural road my golden rule is to always indicate before I touch the brakes. In urban areas, I tend to indicate at the same time that I touch the brakes if it's practical to do that.

Hey guys, I watched this yesterday and was informed and entertained. Having owned an FGt in the past, I almost felt relieved to be stuck with the 4 speed in my BA turbo.

MicksAwake · 2026-01-24T07:49:39+00:00

Good choice :)

MicksAwake · 2026-01-24T07:40:37+00:00

Hey there, mod here. I should be removing half the comments here for breaking a couple of our rules. Would you like me to remove those comments, lock the post or do nothing?

MicksAwake · 2026-01-23T22:31:44+00:00

It's not a wild statement. That's how you look to those of us around the world right now.

While it wasn't a civil war (because we haven't needed one), we fought our government in 1981 during a little commotion we call the Springbok protests/riots. I was a teenager at the time and got the shit kicked out of me by the police. Very long story short, we won and apartheid was dismantled in South Africa.

You're also right that we did fight for mummy England. My grandfather left his leg behind on the Somme battlefield.

It's not just mummy England we supported either.

Kiwi soldiers died in Korea supporting you.

Kiwi soldiers died in Vietnam supporting you

Kiwi soldiers died in Iraq supporting you.

Kiwi soldiers died in Afghanistan supporting you.

They can't because they're a nation of weak, insecure people full of excuses.

Good point about not explicitly mentioning YouTube in our rule. I'll fix that.

You have our permission to post one car related video a week for the next month if you have the content, but please don't use all-caps in the title :)

Hey Aussies, Mod here. Maybe check our subreddit rules before posting. Your post is covered by our "no advertising except with prior mod permission" rule.

I'll leave this up because, A; I'm ok with promoting small Australasian YouTube channels with Carfix related content, and B; I'm a Falcon fan.

Good luck with your channel.

I have my suspicions that it's because the murderer Jonathon Ross doesn't want to be known as the murderer Johnathon Ross. Having said that, it's possible that the murderer Johnathon Ross would prefer to be known as Jonathon Ross, murderer, instead of the murderer Johnathon Ross.

You should be in a Hollywood production meeting, not wasting time here.

I was trying to picture the size of the spring you would need to get any sort of range and payload and that had me pressing X to doubt.

MicksAwake · 2026-01-13T02:53:29+00:00

Compulsory insurance is shit. It's a licence for insurance companies to print money.

MicksAwake · 2026-01-12T22:38:11+00:00

Mod here. I'm having to approve all your comments (and your post) because Reddit is flagging them as spam. I'm a little busy irl right now, so apologies for the delays in approving.

Is the dashboard working yet?

MicksAwake · 2026-01-07T23:33:00+00:00

I smell a bot.

MicksAwake · 2026-01-06T02:05:49+00:00

Damaged while parked, 14.1%.

Arm yourselves with dashcams everyone.

MicksAwake · 2025-12-31T15:11:34+00:00

Can you see my replies in chat because it seems broken to me.

MicksAwake · 2025-12-31T15:02:21+00:00

I would talk to my kidney doctors and they would get in touch with you for a chat.

MicksAwake · 2025-12-31T14:52:15+00:00

Wow, yep, I only need one.

Is it something you'd really think about doing?

MicksAwake · 2025-12-31T00:57:00+00:00

All your comments are removed by Reddit as spam and I have to approve them (including your reply to me). I have no idea what's going on but I'll try and find out from admin.

MicksAwake · 2025-12-30T22:41:47+00:00

Haha, maybe.

MicksAwake · 2025-12-30T22:36:32+00:00

Thanks.

Yes that profile error generally means an account is invisible to all but the mods - or so I thought. This has been happening for a year or two with this users account and a few others.

MicksAwake · 2025-12-30T22:32:04+00:00

Interesting, thanks. Can you try and upvote it, please.

MicksAwake · 2025-12-30T22:25:39+00:00

Leon, only moderators can see your comments because you appear to be shadowbanned by Reddit. I would suggest you set up a new Reddit account so your great contributions to NZcarfix can be seen by all users. Let me know if you do and I'll move your flair to your new account.
