  1. I agree with alot of what you've said above, however I still support the hoon laws. Yes, everyone has broken the rules at some stage during their time on the road. Alot of drivers see the hoons laws as being too 'general'. The cops won't fuss too much about a screechy off the lights, but they will nick you for intentionally doing a burnout. There are different levels (low and higher levels) of law breaking. I like to believe I "bend" the rules now and again, whereas there are drivers/motorcyclists who blatantly "break" the rules and put people at risk. I've never lost my licence in 20 years of driving. I've had a small handful of speeding fines in my cars (maybe 6 in 20 years!), one car was defected many years ago (defect removed same day), never had any offence on my bikes, and only defected a bike once. The difference is I've had some advanced training, I was brought up in a family of racers who encouraged safety. I've done drag racing as well as circuit racing, and not just in SA. I know where and when I can 'misbehave' if I feel the need to. I think after proving myself for 20 years I can safely say that I have good judgement. This is what hoons lack: judgement ... as well as skill, experience and common sense. They break the law (not just bend it) without any regard to safety or judgement. Even at the age of 16, me and my mates found bush tracks up north to 'misbehave' on, far away from the suburban areas. Pick the right environment, the right time, the right conditions, then think is it worth the risk? I guess my attendance at Mallala and Phillip Island all these years has been my outlet and I've managed to be quite civilised on the streets. I hear people all the time saying "give us somewhere to go fast", but we have Mallala. But then all I hear are excuses ... I believe they just don't want to be responsible. They have an option and they won't take it.
  2. Heard on the radio this morning KRudd having a go at Malcolm Turnbull for halting the handout, claiming "he's hurting the economy but not allowing this money to reach our schools, hosptials ...". What a load of bullshit. It'd certainly reach the pokies, bottleshops and anything in between, maybe some school fees paid (but they need to be paid regardless), but def not our hospitals. Anyone who believes what KRudd says doesn't deserve the money anyway. *God I tried so hard not to get in on this topic, but can't believe the rubbish coming out of KRudd's gob*
  3. Took my silver Stag thru Regency a wekk or so ago, not a problem. They mainly check you for identification numbers to record. But I'm sure any blatantly obvious mods (hi mounts etc) will be noticed. Get the VIN number stamped on the strut tower at an engineers or selected crash repairers and you'll be fine.
  4. And you better come packin' yo!

  6. Not Silvia owners, thats for sure (my turn to stir)
  7. Its an SAU display. Do you remember what SAU stands for? "Skylines Australia" ... and the Stageas pretty much qualify as a Skyline wagon. When I go for parts for my Stagea, I'm constantly quoting parts for a Skyline. The Stagea is a Skyline in the eyes of the importers, spare parts suppliers, workshops, the law, and myself. Cars such as the Silvias are nowhere near anything like a Skyline. Not even when you squint hard enough Some people just don't look under their bonnets I reckon. And as you said a few lines before ... It is an SAU display Cara has put together. What part of that don't you guys understand? Silvias do not qualify ... simple. Want a display? Put your own together. Is that too hard? Obviously ... because its easier to nit-pick someone else's organising of a display. Selfish members here really have a way of destroying SAU organised events and displays. Deal with it or find another sand pit to play in
  8. Agreed. Waste of money.
  9. Not sure I wanna know what that would cost me ... which is why I've only 'thought' about it.
  10. My 2004 black Liana Sport had a factory bodykit and wing, and aftermarket mags that looked good ... but the one you're describing sounds a tad
  11. I got followed not long ago on the bike with Tracy. Cop clearly went out of his way and was speeding to follow me, like he got a call about a bank robbery, chased me down ... to my driveway! From the moment he saw me, he covered 300m (including 2 roundabouts) in the time I cruised the 100m home. He drove past real slow and I waved him on and wished him better luck next time Even Tracy remarked on how quickly he decided to single us out. I know they got a job to do ... but sometimes you gotta question their actions.
  12. I've been toying with the idea of some kind of graphics on the Stagea Blue and chrome maybe?
  13. Thats what I was told also when I went to get a defect off my bike. After riding my bike into the 'shed' (quiet-ish, had the baffles in, and was in pristine show condition) the inspector says straight away "What the hell is wrong with this bike?". Showed him the paperwork on that I got done for indicators! His response was "You're joking right!?!"
  14. No shit?
  15. 80% down on capacity ... 80% down on power
  16. I should return your rattle gun tomorrow night then and take a peak at your beast
  17. Loved it!
  18. Sure was. On a similar note, seen at least half a dozen commonwhores throughout the day individually excessively speeding on roads in and around the city! Not talking 5-10kph over, but more like 20-30kph! No cops around! Madness the stupid risks they're taking.
  19. There ... fixed for you

  21. When you've got the rest of the skyline to go with it
