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?

Guest Rexlr8

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 i got my new turbo in today....................... seized and a big f*ck off crack around the inside of the intake casing........ not happy at the moment :P

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

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
