Wow learn something new every day...

I would've thought that light waves would've been more accurate than sound waves as there is less distortion (not to mention that light travels a whole lot faster). Hmm maybe not.

siksII you seem somewhat pleased that the highway officer pulled you over?~?~?

yes it may have read that way but trust me i am VERY ANNOYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i guess i am trying to look at it in the best light possible to be less pissed off overall, as in i did not get defected and the cop was not a massive tool. but yes still very pissed off dont get me wrong!!! :(:teehee::O:(:D

now i feel bad for sounding positive about it, maybe i should edit my post make it sound more grim :O:(

FYI, Radio waves /= (do not equal) sound waves.

Radio waves are part of the EM spectrum, which includes Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Infra-Red, Radio, Light, Microwaves etc.

There's no "distortion" but there is a difference in the reflective, absorption, scattering and interference properties between Radio and Light (visible or otherwise) Radiation.

Also light speed is a constant (although this is in debate) - and thus all electromagnetic waves, whether they are light or radio or x-ray in nature (the names merely refer to the frequency of the EM wave) - all of them travel the same speed...

So today is your lucky day, you have in fact learnt two things. :sorcerer:

I'm not convinced its a cop either.

Security guards always tell people to move on, and they often have different radios and such. Not uncommon to see them in their own cars either.

Only strange thing is that he had a siren. But its no real trouble to get that.

came across a XR8 middle eastern operations unit undercover vehicle... they were bothering these Greek boys who were standing next to their GTs and susing them out accusing them they were middle eastern.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
