quote from Spooks link

"Two cars - a taxi and a purple Mitsubishi Lancer sports car - collided near the corner of Viewmount and Ferntree Gully roads in Wheeler's Hill about 9.30pm.

The driver of a third high-powered car was being questioned by police last night. "

3rd high powered car? meaning the taxi and the lancer were high powered? LOL

Another demonstration how the addition, or removal, of a comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence. :huh:

meaning?

"The driver of a third high-powered car was being questioned by police last night" has a different inference regarding the capabilities of the trio of vehicles compared to, "The driver of a third, high-powered, car was being questioned by police last night."

since when was a mitsubishi lancer a sports car?

Since the Evo 1 was released, Evos are Lancers and it doesnt mention model.

Had the article said, a Lancer GL sports car, I would also question it :mellow:

question re: thread title- where in australia do they hold 'legal' street drag comps?

zackly

illegal drag racing

No such thing...e-mail the Mcquarie dictionary and get the definition changed to what it is. The Macquarie is the resource used by all Australian media outlets to define. If we change the definition these "journalists" will stop trying to tie a stupidity to drag racing and, eventually, imports.

Definition

A race conducted on a 400m track, measured in both speed and time. Sanctioned by motorsport governing bodies, legal activity.

Not

A clusterfu(k conducted over no specific distance, the winner is determined by the ego of the knuckle head driving the vehicle and is too often conducted infront of citizens, resulting in damage to vehicle and/or knuckleheads. Illegal activity

back seat passenger is at home now resting

As far as I'm aware, the back seat passenger of the VL is still in hospital with a broken leg and other injuries. The driver is fine, however, the front passenger is badly injured, but will recover.

Also, it wasn't an R34 GTR, but an R33 GTS-T. The VL was not racing; the R33 was "showing off" by speeding up the street and got it all wrong T-boning the VL.

unless there were two crashes involving 2 vls, then the guy that was in the back seat is at home i spoke with his mum about 2days ago.

Was it Danny from Custom Bodyworks?

I heard Danny was the passanger in the back seat was pretty badly injured.

If it's true, I hope he's ok. He's a top bloke.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.
