I have a highly ranked traffic cop and a good long term mate who is training to be a traffic cop at the moment.

The rules shocked me a bit! Police can do ANY speed they want IF the conditions are not putting any other road users lifes or safety at risk, under the condition that they have NOT engaged lights or sirens. They may do ANY speed to get to you, but once they engage/call through a chase, it's a maximum of 40km/h over the legal speed limit.

Had my fair share of Police chases. Stupid stupid days. I've realised how f**ken much of a tool I was!

There's the old gokart track (Big Track) in Bayswater just next to Tonkin Hwy.. someone should look into turning it into a drift track where we can go and burn some rubber not on public streets :)

wow didn't know that either. once awhile ago this highway patrol car would have easily been doing double the speed limit on residential roads to catch up to me at around 5pm when all the kids are out...

It's a sweet track, when it was open it was the first place I went gokarting at and it was wet at the time. The guys were all like "no being stupid out there now" but after a few laps of watching us get completely sideways round every corner they were cheering us on!

But yeah, I've always wanted to get a car on there and tossed this idea round before. Would require lots of badgering of the council I'd say and a pretty hefty insurance premium but I would love to help out however I can. Good Luck!

Morley karts yeah?

My grandad was very involved in starting gokarting in wa and helped build a go kart track that used to be right next to burswood train/casino! Imagine that! Anyway, I'll see if he can help!!

May need to be widened a little.. :(

or we could all build some of these.. insane. I got a vid at home of the GSXR powered kart but I can't find a vid online.. filename should be something like gixxerkart.wmv if someone has more time than me :)

SR32: Big Track is in Bayswater, you can just see it on the west side of the Tonkin Hwy near the Collier Rd intersection :)

Ok kool, I'll ask him for help!

Would be awesome.

You guys know Drift WA has 2 drift events planned for Collie next year?

Dates are in April and probably October. Basic training will be available to those that want it from instructors on the skid pan and then onto the track.

This 160 km/h stuff is BS, they just don't call it in or fail to report their speed. I know plenty of people who bragged about going 180+ and the coppers keep chasing. They are the law, they do what they want. All these 'oh no they cant chase me cause of this blah blah' is just out in the public to keep the old people happy. You can't whinge if they say its a law, not that they ever follow it ?

Ive mellowed alot lately, but its fair to say I would at one time live by the motto "never stop"

***edited***

These days with the police driving performance vehicles the odds of getting away are slimmer.

These days i keep my stupid shit to the track :laugh:

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
