... 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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
