extraordinary licenses are ok, i have had one, but you have to wait 6 weeks after its suspended to apply, and at that point if you have only lost your license for points you will only have 6 weeks left and then your not even guaranteed to get it, you also have to carry a log book filled out before hand of where u are going and why etc etc, i had to have someone appear in court from my work saying that it was needed for work, otherwise i dont think i would have got it.

:P

You use to just be able to write to the transport people, and the head fellas in there would approve/disapprove of it. I doubt that i would ever get a licence if it was up to the courts :|

And now you gotta wear "E" plates... before you never had to wear nothing :P just "P"s i think.... ?

I rang them yesterday and there is no such course in this state. I think that this course can be done in other states and there has been talk of it in this state but has not come into fruition.

Im sure if we put it to parliament that if we lose our license for 3 months, then that is 3 months where they are not making money from fines of us. they would probably then change the legislation. Greedy wankers

When i recently got done the cop told me how many points i had left (2) then handed me a 3 demerit point fine with a smile. It saddens me that these type of cops must have no social life or enjoyments in life that they must act like this.

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
