If the f**king police did something when it began, there would be no issue.

Simple as that.

They are too concerned about picking on the innocent individual driving around for a "random check" whilst big groups of hoons/idiots/morons/crumpets just keep making the car enthusiasts life more and more difficult

SHAME on Victoria Police

SHAME

And for anyone that was there, and therefore supporting it all.

F*cking shame on you aswell.

That CalaisTurbo.com link is exactly the sorta sh|t that is giving true enthusiasts a kick in the nuts.

Without clicking on the link ash, all i can say is calaisturbo.com is an enthusiast site ... for hoons :P pretty much, used to be a member when i had my vl, they are a disgrace to a car club, hence y they arent affiliated with cams or anything.

It sort of makes you wonder if the police were intimidated by the number of people there ...

Noble park maccas hasnt been going for months, its been going for years ... even when i got my licence 7 odd years ago, it will die down now ... wait a few months and start to come back again.

I've come to know a good number of the people from CT.com over the years...

And its just sad that most of them fit into the stereotype/behaviour that they all try to claim they are not a part of.

I think the Police were intimidated, but the only reason is because they didnt act sooner IMO.

And yeah, like all things, it will happen again. Totally agree with you.

But its upto the cops to ACT when the Maccers people ring em, not wait a month to "plan" thier bust which then gets too late

I totally agree ash i get pulled over for cruising around the streets and these ******* do this and the cops don't come down hard..

Pathetic!!!

If it was never used as a congregation point, this wouldnt have started. Go to any other Maccas on a Friday night and do you see riots outside and severe damage to other peoples property.

If people didnt gather there in the first place, this wouldnt have escalated. I went to Maccas carparks years ago when I first got my licence but the out of town ones were all built on retail parks that had a couple of thousand car parks in where 10 cars could sit and chat, causing no bother.

Enthusiasts want to meet, naturally, but do it somewhere else preferably that is closed in the evenings or out of the way so it doesnt encrouch on others enjoyment.

LOL. I had a mate there giving me half hourly updates last night. It sounded pretty crazy.

On one hand it's only gonna make life harder for car enthusiasts with more police powers and changed legislations, and I hate what's happened as it will make all our lives harder. And I am very much against this type of behaviour.

But on the other hand NP Maccas is a part of growing up and stuff like this will still continue to happen with 18-20 year old drivers unaware that bigger and better ways exists to enjoy your car such as what we have here at SAU.

But we all need to remember that back in the day YOU were hanging around a maccas carpark too. So don't be too quick to judge most people. As with anything it's the minority that spoils it.

It's just sad that young drivers see this as their only way to vent their car frustration. I have a few mates that visit these type of events regularly and I always try to make them aware of what we do at the club and how much fun our DECA days are, so as they understand that there are better options.

"Hmmm Friday night... what to do? Should I:

1. Get into sick uleh mobile and cruise up and down Chapel St all night staring at c**ts in their cars and whistle at chicks?

2. Get stoned/drunk and cause a big f**king riot in me local Shopping centre and abuse the shit out of cops and general public while trashing anything and evetything?

3. Go out and meet some ladies as I havent been laid for years?

"Oh I know... I choose 2!" :P

Apparently the cops found the owner of the noble maccas forum and arrested him. He used his netspace email address which may have led to finding him.

Also if you google his nick;

Someone should set up some form of website defending us car enthusiasts if it maybe spreads across other car enthusiast websites it may decrease the tension which may be brought upon us.

Not sure if it will do much good haha. A lot of car forums have maccas threads and all are disappointed at last night outcome.

I'm just disgusted at the way these people are allowed to just run riot in our country and we personally can't do **** about it and then cop a hiding for it when we get pulled over, grr..

He got knocked the f**k out

Seriously, I know to them (the maccas hangers) we seem like a bunch of old farts having a winge but, i'll tell you, the abosulute STUPIDITY of these people.

I seriously don't have any words to describe these people. They are worse than hoons... they are practically rioters...

ri·ot /ˈraɪət/

1. a noisy, violent public disorder caused by a group or crowd of persons, as by a crowd protesting against another group, a government policy, etc., in the streets.

2. Law. a disturbance of the public peace by three or more persons acting together in a disrupting and tumultuous manner in carrying out their private purposes.

And what REALLY pisses me off is the fact that we, the responsible car owners (WRX or SAU, and others) get targeted and have a hard time dealing with the cops because of it :(

Just you remember you are an old fart and need to get out :P

Why does it not suprise me rattis had something to do with it

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
