... and he takes it street racing and kills himself. His group of friends have lost 6 guys to street racing in the past year, and they still don't learn. :P

I'm glad that our forums doesn't have a "Kill Stories" section like other car clubs.

Street racing is for wannabe losers. Take it to the track.

That's in US? MAybe watched too much "Fast n Furious", some people just don't get it and think they can do like in the movie and get away with it, not realising in the movie it's a controlled environment with stunts n camera tricks.

Sad reality, should've taken it to the tracks. He was only 17, n got his car when he was 16... what age can you legally drive here? 18? I suppose? I didn't get my 1st license in the country that's why I never know.

I don't even know this guy and I'm sitting here blubbering like a fool.

Why are "kids" allowed to get licence's in the US? I think 17 is still too young to be in control of a vehicle.

One little thing you do wrong and you can stuff soo many things in someones life.

Street racers get no sympathy from me. Only words I can find for them are "sh*t" and "syphilis".

W@nkers like this give insurance companies more excuses to jack up the prices. And coppers to give the rest of us a harder time.

Just a short story:

On new years went to Brisbane and at the party got talking to a guy who works for the fire briggade. Tells me about a 19 year old that picks up his sister in a Mitsub EVO. He crashes into a poll doing 180Km. He lived for about 15 minutes. The rescuers could not recognise the girl. He described her as a mashed up substance, consisting of guts, paper (her text books), bits of seat etc etc.

My sis loves cars and has friends who drive worked up ones. I've put the fear of god into her, so she doesnt hop into one of these cars with a wanker who wants to show off.

A Message From Bert Sr. Taken From The Thread At RSX***  

Hi, just to introduce myself, I am Bert's Dad.( Mugan Power)  

I would first like to say thank you everyone's sincere prayers, thoughts and support.  

I would like to clear something up since rumor's have apparantly has got out of control.  

First of all, Bert's was not street racing, I know it sounds like a glorious way to go, but it is not. I say this not from what I would like to believe but from a witness who observe the whole accident and even helped to pull Bert out of the wreck. He has stated that Bert's car was northbound in the right lane of a 4 way highway to our house. One that Bert has drove home numerous of times. He observed that his car had suddenly pulled to the left and was immediatley out of control. There was not one car in front or behind him. It was a solo accident with no cars in the vicinity. He found it strange on how the car became out of control. I know that he may have been exceeding the 55 mph speed limit, but cannot explain why the sudden pull to the left and then the wheels locking up into a sideways slide back to the right and into a pole. I am not sure but am suspect maybe a maybe a mechanical problem, as the front left wheel roter was broke in half and sticking out. the pole hit the drivers door, not the wheel. the tow truck driver said he never seen a rotor broken in that way. So we will try and check to see what had happen. btw, the witness was a Naval Police Officer. I am just trying to find out what happen.  

We miss Bert like no one could understand unless you have loss a son of your own. Again Thanks for the nice comments.  

BTW, I do not condone street racing. It is dangerous to everyone. But to the one's who are glad for the death, I say you are some sad individuals. You should know what you are talking about before throwing words around so recklessly. But I guess words don't kill, they just hurt for a long time.  

I don't feel that Bert at 17, deserved to die even if he slammed on the brakes, Isn't that what ABS is for?  

Again Thanks for the thoughts and prayers,  

Bert, Sr.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
