While I was competing at the comp I heard about this, thought it was completely shit... punishing people who took the time, money and effort to compete legally in a sport they love... f**ked.. at least by the time we left the track at 8 there weren't any still around..

Some cops are a bit overzealous, for want of a better word - but please guys, you must realise, if they get calls because some tool has been watching drift and decides to start carving up the roads around where people live OF COURSE the police will come out. If they didnt, then people would be complaining the police are doing nothing.

If you really do think you are getting the short end of the stick - and lets face it, alot of people do, then complain to your local MP - they can actually do something.

And if you are worried about getting defects - go and get permits. I got permits for all my mods, and my car is pretty heavily modded - very cheap peace of mind for a whole $37.50. Alot cheaper and easier than screwing around getting stickers removed.

Usually, its a few tools out there on the road that make everyones life harder.

your funny

hope you have your permits laminated to save them tearing them up in front of you..

they also tend to not pay attention to permit regardless and still sticker you..

Theres an application form for major mods that you can pickup at the pits.Minor stuff just take the car to the pits.I got an MX5 approved with an F355 Ferrari motor and trans fitted in the rear(Cars about to get finished)but had to have flex tests etc but we got it passed so near anything is possible.

No, your right, much better to not get permits then bitch when you get defected for something you could of got a permit for.

and yes, they are laminated.

Permits don't do squat 99% of the time, most cops don't believe in them and just ignore the fact you have gone to the effort to do things by the book..

ivew also had friends have permit paperwork torn up in front of them by police when pulled over, and shown them the permits for everything..

Oh man I really didn't miss this while absent from the forums.

No reasonable cop would rip up the permits in front of you if you yourself are being reasonable at the time. If they do, then take there badge number take a pic on your blinged out camera phone and report them. A cop will only do something if he knows he can justify his/her actions.

Any of you who are now saying to yourselves "I wouldn't want to do that - they may do me in for more things on my car etc etc". Then you were probably caught doing something overtly stupid, gave a bit of lip and deserved the treatment you received.

Grow up kids - stop acting like such victims!

It comes down to the reason you were stopped and your attutude.

Ive driven modded cars for 24 years and only ever got a sticker once and yes i was being silly and smart mouthed and that was in 1984 and i learned from that and have had no problems since.

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
