Last night i got pulled over, I 5hit myself because I was speeding and he could have defected me for my modifications on the car.

Cop “ Mate are you in a hurry?”

babylon“ Hi Sir how are you 2nite?”

Cop “I had to go passed a few cars to catch up with you”

Babylon “ I wasn’t speeding sir I promise”

Cop “ Is this your car?”

Babylon “Yes”

Cop “I know it’s a nice car and they go fast but you need to take it easy”

Babylon “Officer I know I was giving it a bit but I was always watching my speed I didn’t go past 60”

Cop “Have you been drinking ?”

Babylon “NO

Cop “ is there any problems with your licence or Car, What’s your address? Where are you heading to?”

I answered all his questions I was very polite. He did the breath test . He told his partner that he thought that im ok I haven’t been drinking. He said “ look mate im not hassling you but you need to slow down”

We started to talk about the world cup and talk about skylines and then he let me go.

Its funny because my cousin lost his licence the other day and I was telling him how I never get caught speeding.

Man was I lucky. My precision of cops changed tonight. From now on im not going to speed on public roads i want to start taking my car to the track!

yeah i dunno if its jus me but theres always 1 nice cop and 1 hero powertrippin` cop.. i ghuess your lucky u got the nice one :)

but yeah i've had a moment like that too for speeding.. i mean i did get booked but he was nice enuff to jus give me 15 over instead. and pretty much reasoned with me saying these cars are quick so u gta be carefull u take 1 look at the road and by the time you look at ur speedo again ur already speeding.. some good cops out there too bad the ones that think theyre heroes ruin the reputation of the police

You say that now, but then comes the letter in the mailbox 2 months from now. :)

nope, they have to call u within 48 hours of the offense if they change their mind to notify you that you will get a letter and will be charged/fined =)

Yeah well I was all "cops are great" until some PMS'ing troll decided she'd book me for a red light offence the other night. That's nice and all, but

1. The light was Orange.

2. I had just put my foot down after leaving a driveway which is about 4m from the intersection line so I didnt have time to take foot off accel and slam on brakes and stop in time.

3. They would have been a fair while away as they took a few mins to catch up, therefore I don't believe they had a clear enough view of the intersection to judge whether I was too close to the line to stop or not.

I was nothing but polite and explained the situation but she still had her heart set on booking me. Therefore, she can go f**k herself.

I generally find that if you are polite to cops and are honest and humble (not to the point of digging your own grave tho!) you get off lightly. If you give them any lip or claim you were doing 40 when you were doing 120 then you're gone.

Cops aren't idiots, and they have a really tough job to do (back when they used analog UHF I used to listen to them on occasion and it's a shit job sometimes). You will get an absolute c*#@ occasionally but most of them will give you a fair go if you don't antagonise them.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc.

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.
