i seen the thread by predator666 and thought some of u guys might like to know that there having a crack down on un-roadworthy cars this winter,thereve already started doing this in Sunbury and ive been told that the entire vic police force will be doing this, there basically looking for things like headlights,tail lights, tyres etc but i mean if yourve got a smart ass cop then he might start getting ppl for pod filters, fmic and exausts etc.

I know im pretty safe in Sunbury as i think im the only 1 car with a FMIC and the coppers dont even know what a turbo is,but for u guys over the other side of town be carefull

Just a warning guys

i dont think winter has anything 2 do with it, its coz its nearly the end of the financial year so they will need to get cashed up for next years donut supply.

cops r always on sum bs import crackdown, its all about the $$ nothing to do with road safety and it always will be!

LOL!!!

Sunbury cops wouldn't know a snail if the stepped on one!

but yeah... crack down for the BUDGET... more like stable income to me.

But i have seen radom Roadie sessions on Sharps Rd/Keilor Park drive on and off. You can't see it till your over the hill and then there are 3-4 interceptors and they get everything driving past. Usually in the afternoon's.

Well maybe yes because of the budget but the reason there giving is cause this time of the year the roads are dangerous/wet and they want to keep the roadtoll down by taking un-roadworthy cars off the road,which i think is a great idea as long as they dont pick on us and get the REAL! shity cars of the road like the ones that are getting held together by rust and have no exaust etc

You'd think they would have better things to do, honestly. A person driving around with a tail-light out or something is hardly a menance to society.

The thing is lowlux, that is not their goal at all... its mainly imports i hear about because they're obvious targets - even if they are less than 10 years old and 95% of the time compliant in the genuine "safety" aspects. If they were actually pulling over old rust buckets and things and genuinely scary looking cars then I would see the reasoning. But its about making money, pure and simple.

I remember reading a while back that a study was done by Vicroads - and there was actually 3% or less of accidents the factor was an unroadworthy vehicle.. so for them to claim its saving lives is pure rubbish. The road toll has remained static for the last few years - can't they see that there is just only so much that can be done.

Dickheads will always kill themselves on the roads (and anywhere else), its just a fact of life. The government trying to protect people like that from themselves (or others) is never going to work. I don't even understand that mentality to be honest. If a person drives like a goon and kills themselves (hopefully not taking anybody with them) well it is their life and their own responsibility, and their own choices that they take. To get in a person's car who you don't trust or drives badly, is again, your own risk, your own responsiblity, and your own life. To try and make everybody suffer because of this is both narrow minded and avoiding the actual underlying issues.

Yup, but like i said before I SMELL BACON! and it stinks!

u know i know and the cops know that any car they canary can be back on the road within a day or 2 with the canary taken off, only people that benefit from it are the cops with the bs fine they give u now when they canary 2 "driving a modified vehicle - $160". They are saving no lives

yeh its really gh3y

have to be cautious and shit when driving always checking rear view mirror to see if that car was an undercover

or checking speedo to see if you're going over

its built a really fuct up driving mentality where now you can't even enjoy driving without thinking in the back of your mind theres a cop watching you or a speed camera waiting. its a farkin conspiracy

i just heard on the news that some councils want to give their parking inspectors speed guns so they get u not only for parking but speeding also, and some council bitch actually had the nerve to say that even tho it will raise alot of revenue its all about safety!!

The day a parking officer gives me a speeding ticket is the day i run the **** down!!

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
