lol, fair enough :worship: sometimes I think out loud! I know I wouldn't be doing it for them for free after paying so much out of pocket....
I also wouldn't have had the balls to follow it through in the first place.
now that you remind me i do remember the ACA story at the time about your case.

Yea it takes all that and deep pockets, the cops know that and they use it to their advantage .

When you are defending a speed fine you can't go half cocked, you have to do your research and cover all avenues, if you are to suceed. This is why when they pull you over and accuse you of speeding they just laugh at you when you say " I was NOT speeding" . The usual reply is " If you don't agree fill the back in and take it to court", because they know you can't afford to do that . They have unlimited funds ( our money, taxpayers) so they don't care .

Ah and you should have seen the grin in the cops and the prosecutors face when the magistrate convicted Mick. I would pay money to come face to face with them now, I'll bet that grin is all GONE and I hope they get ( the cops) a big kick up the arse from high up and think twice about writting a ticket in future if they are not sure .

Just because they found a young guy ( he was 22 then) driving a WRX STI they thought , GOTCHA ..... Well they bit more than they could chew , didn't they ????

Well, I have to confess that's Michael and I in the news and thats my M-spec, good work Adam.

I don't know if any of you listen to John Laws at 2UE I was on there earlier on today as well.

If you are really keen watch "a current affair " on 9 tonight . It should be on there as well but if they don't have it ready for tonight , tomorrow night .

lol i knew it was u.. just didn't know ur real name and couldn't remember ur sau name. lol

hahahha.. nice work jerry!!!!! :P Can't believe how sloppy they were in michaels case! Using visual estimation cause they didn't have him within radar for long enough... lame!

Don't think they were dopes saying that they are not relying on the silver eagle radar Mona.

They knew if they tried to rely on the silver eagle we could prove in court that it coudn't be used according to guidelines . They already knew about my case, they lost that one about a year ago.

Actually silver eagles shouldn't be used in any built-up ereas at all.

So they were smart and the magistrate went with their estimation ( he was the lame one ) when we produced evidence that Mick wasn't speeding!! So we lodged the appeal as soon as the magistrate found Michael guilty on the advice of Dennis Mirallis . I have to say that Dennis has beaten them many times over the last 3 years .

Unfortunately justice is not cheap mate, Abo bob would know .

I do indeed, from 2 sides of the cube.

Ezitrak by Rojone, the best available unit on the market..

I may ad the car was a WRX STI , no longer in the family.

And most likely in a million pieces or another country by now. :wave:

Well done, Jerry and Micheal. Almost all of the time the police have it their way. Good to see that you (rightfully) got one back on them. I hope it does help other motorists as I believe police will continue to implement the "if you don't like it, take it to court" attitude as not everyone has deep pockets.

I don't know about that but we sold that car soon after Mick got the ticket .

Thanks Charlie and everyone else for the support.

Unfortunatly you are right mate, justice is very expensive, they ( H/patrol cops) know this and take advantage .

They see a young person ( and not so young, like me ) , they just write the ticket first and ask questions later .

I hate it when they make smart-ass comments like that, because they know no-one is going to take them on...

For everyone that wants to know, it wasn't on today ( they told us they maynot be ready ) because they film it early afternoon and they wanted to interview Dennis Mirallis as well as someone from the police department to give their side of the story .

I can assure you guys it will definitely be on at some stage, more than likely tomorrow .

Richard ACA is on 9 at 6:30 pm .

ahhh yeah.. fair enough! good on your guys for taking them on and proving them wrong!!! and yay for having an awesome lawyer, though it sounds like you both put in a fair amount of research too!! good combo all around! ;)

Thanks guys...

Yep...I'd love to see the look on the good Mr Cripps' face now...bet he's not so cocky now.

And Adam...I sold my old version 6 STI...I think you are thinking of dad's my02 STI that got knocked off after he sold it...it actually got recovered btw...

Oh...and I'm always happy to accept a beer...haha

Hang on I would think that if a person was incorrectly accussed why should that person have to loss so much money to prove his inosence I think the police department should cover the court costs

Mate, it should work like that but unfortunately in the real world it DOESN'T , like I said before justice can be very-very-very expensive. I have little doubt that most people would just pay the fine regardless if they are guilty or not..

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
