Was there moments after the acco. I thought for certain a fatality due to the tree a third into the drivers cabin, but alas it was critical head injuries. Definate drag racing down Canb ave, broad daylight in traffic. A huge effort by the P plater to get the car in that sort of position. There was some army guy holding the drivers hand when I passed by.

What amazes me is the number of Police cars racing to the accident. Worse than blowflys on the preverbial.

Absolutely no need to close any of the lanes off and they wern't when I was going by. I think they were eventualy closed so that so many police, ambos etc.. could park for a better view.

a guy came into work who'd seen it. he said the kid driving overtook him and another guy between the lanes doing at least 160k's. then locked up the wheels for about a hundred metres straight into the tree. that's pretty full on.

It may sound a bit harsh when a life is on the line,but I believe in natural selection;the stupid will kill themselves off...

Street racing? Only for the stupid and fullsiks...

I dont think that is harsh for the reason he brought it all upon himself he got nobody to blame , it just lucky that nobody else got taken out that could add to the gene pool

I totally agree!

Natural Selection, Darwin'ism

Thankfully he removed him self from the gene pool

Ya drive that fast- in that area- Idiot

Live fast, die young, die ugly!

Let that be a lesson to the rest of the idiots...

This will probably mean they crack down on P Platers…

Even more...

Idiot

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
