Wow that is a gold article! I fell heaps educated now about my peers' behaviour now :mellow: I love this one

"Drifting: This is performed when a vehicle approaches a corner or intersection at relatively low speed and is then rapidly accelerated through the corner causing the rear of the car to slide out and the tyres to slip on the roadway and screech." :laugh:

And you're not alone with your dodgey parking fine! There's a whole bunch of stories in this thread - PARKING TICKET STORIES - CLICK ME!

I'd love to see someone have the time and patience to sit down and write a response (her email is there for everyone!).

i could come out with an educated response to that pathetic article BUT.... i CBF!!! so to all the australian police who support and endorsed this article out there... GO f**k YOURSELFS!!! especially to the author of that article... f*k your stupid!! referencing a f*king bbq apron shop for the definition of hoons??!! why not with all that fantastic knowledge of "hoon behaviour" don't you make one up yourself!!! This hoon crap is just an excuse for not being able to do your job properly... U f*kN BLUDGES!!!

with f*kn shit regards jure

I cant believe melb have police, I drove around melb for 3 days for a good 20 hours or more and saw 2 cops ..

Not to mention most of the people on the rd are drunk, yes really they drink and drive likes nswlians smoke and mobile and drive.. Even so I got lessons on how to hold my beer in my lap while drivin? im like WTF? r u spaztic?

Oh RBT's are invisable - i mean they dont have them! and for being know as a city with so many hot cars .. I saw about 10 in total.. Sydney shits on that haha (note I didnt goto chapel street at night)

Neways.. Point is your cops are un-seen.. In NSW you dont experence a time when you cruise and dont see at least one cop .. espeically in the city...

I also noticed my spelling mistakes but was really lazy and couldnt be bothered fixing them. Sorry!

I've seen an increase of police on the roads ever since the noble park macas riots.

I like the part of the article where they desribe hoons as "Hoons are often stereotyped as male, aged between 17 and 25 years, of low income and a

blue collar worker or unemployed."

Isn't that the exact same definition of a bogan / bevan...

Nice to know we've all been lumped into the same category as those inbred morons.

What's also funny is how they have statistics on hoon related offences yet the total sample size was 12 over a multiple year duration. One of the first things about statistics is that a larger sample size is better, the person who wrote this article is stupid beyond beleif and I highly doubt would have even finished high school.

Maybe they should put more effort into preventing hooning. They should make everyone getting a license to spend an evening at a hospital to see the aftermath of a serious car accident, not a pleasent sight.

You're all damned hoons! Every single one of you! What with your music turned up loud: hipping and your hopping and your Mick Jaggers and what nots.

Not to mention you're all disrespectful to your elders, you don't appreciate what you've got (we didn't have playstations, mobile phones or the wheel in my day). Oh and you're all on drugs.

Damned hoons.

But they're all right guys. Instead of doing things like:

1) Spending money on our cars

2) Meeting up with other car enthusiasts at certain locations

3) Going on cruises

4) Talking about cars/modifications/performance etc

We should be doing what our socially responsible parents did when they were our age like:

1) Spending money on their cars

2) Meeting up with other car enthusiasts at locations

3) Going on cruises

4) Talking about cars/modifications/performance etc.

Hmmmmm.

i read that lapping is illegal? so all the old ladies who drive around carparks to find a spot at a bussy shopping centre is a hoon? how the f**k is cruising on a nice night to enjoy it illegal?

also on burnouts... who the f**k needs to pour oil on the road to get their "modyfied" car to break traction.. i mean.. that isnt so modyfied is it?

whoever wrote that document is a tosser fullstop... ask majority of the police in vic or wherever.. if they have doen a burnout or broken THEIR OWN LAW or thrashed a car... if they say no.. they lie. THEY LIE

i work at ford and get their highway patrol cars and undercovers and gold class cars in.. their lower than 100mm.. yes.. iv tested them with the wheel of fortune. They are unroadworthy (brakes fried, tyres past the tread wear indicators, oil leaks, power steering leaks, broken bushes and ball joints..) Hell even in the new xr8s their diffs are that tight they shudder... ohh no I ONCE COPPED A CANARY FOR HAVING MY DIFF TOO TIGHT AND WAS DEEMED A MINISPOOL BECAUSE THE WHEELS SHUDDERED...

pffft...

do a bounce test on their highway patrols... sure do pass ay...

tossers

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
