Speeding driver arrested – Alice Springs

A man caught driving at almost 120 kilometres per hour over the speed limit has been arrested in Alice Springs this afternoon.

Just after 1.30pm a police patrol heading inbound on Larapinta Drive near Diarama Village clocked on on-coming car at 179 kilometres per hour in a 60 zone.

Police did a u-turn to apprehend the driver and he was arrested near Battarbee Street.

When asked why he was driving his Toyota Supra at that speed he told police he was in a hurry to get home.

The 21-year-old is expected to be charged with driving at a dangerous speed, recklessly endangering life and exceeding the speed limit by more than 45 kilometres per hour.

Don't want to jump to conclusions but all those details giving make me think orange supra with supragt on the plates. Did Raymond Dunn get done?

Not likely to be the red one, don't think Brett is that silly, and he's over 21..

The cop car was inbound, the Supra heading out of town and stopped at Battarbee st.

The cops must have flashed him near diarama and he slowed down and stopped straight away, that might go in his favour at court.

At that speed he could have lost them, but they would just be waiting at home and he be in more sh^t.

I also heard a bit of a police chase last night, well sounded like it briefly anyway.

Was at the carwash around 8 or 9 and could hear someone giving stick around town, (saw a little white thing go past, "no names")

then heard sirens start up and had a chuckle, then a second set of sirens and all 3 disappeared into the distance..

And on another note,,, I was accused (not to my face though) of doing burnouts everywhere just because theres a purple spotrs car in my driveway and a burnout in front of my house... (my friend really put it up this bloke on my behalf though, he didn't know they actually new me, haha). Shits me cos there's burnouts all the way up the street and around the corner, but I own a sportscar so it must be me? right? F&kken Dumbasses....

Sure, maybe some of these hoons see my car and act up, but that's not my fault...

/Rant

There would be no way it be brett. He has to much to risk to do that shit. Thankfully.

But on another note, i did speak to Raymond already and it wasnt him. He said who ever it was he wants to smack up the head.

There's a new Silver TT supra in town, maybe 2-3 weeks old but i'm going to think it's him, and raymond said the same. Either way, thats some pretty f**ked up speed to be doing intown...

Not to mention only an hour after lunch. I could understand the cops pulling someone at half one in the morning doind that speed but I never thought I'd hear of someone doing that spped during the day.

Good to hear it wasn't ray too.

Jordan got his car. I think it's a little quicker than my car. Seems fairly even side by side. My car does start creeping on him though in the higher gears. Will be good to see it out the drags on sunday if he goes.

:D:):):) YES I GOT MY CAR :D:banana::banana::banana: It goes quite good for a stocko, but the gearing is long as hell, Gave Fabs A quick go, stuck with him till end of seconed while hes already halfway though third, DAMN

Need more Boost!

And does anyone know who was driving the Supra? name

jordan dont blame other people for your f**k ups... if you were drivin its your fault...

street wars hey...hmm.. might have to borrow the inlaws ss instead of the line boys..lol

I think where all over this Pinsta, come on man, Dropit :D

Damn, that's a shame... RIP

But at least it doesn't say anything about speeding or reckless driving, seems like just an accident?

jordan, when's the engine warming party??

nah, but anyone up for a drive tonight?

That accident happened last night at North side shops. Since that Monday storm, they still havent got the street lights working and its pitch black there.. With a Black guy drunk walking across the road = accident.

My sister said that it was a tourist just passing through. So that sucks to be him. But the guy that died was apparently drunk as f**k... so yeah.

Jorden, thats good about your car dude. Sounds like with a bit of mod's she'll go nicely.

Well that just threw you back to square one. More disappointment :/

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
