I received a slip from the postman today saying I've got a Registered Post article awaiting my collection.. I can't really imagine what it could be.. I haven't bought anything online that is not accounted for..

My sister's boyfriend said that's how they send out speeding fines.. is this true? I don't think I've been hit by any speed or red light cameras, I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if I did..?

Should I be concerned? Anyone else received a random registered post article? lol..

it could be any number of things- concert tickets, confidential personal information you've requested from a goverment agency, etc, etc....

Definitely haven't bought any tickets.. The only competition I think I've entered was on Saturday lol, doubt they would have picked a winner by now.

I wasn't sure about the speeding ticket stuff coming via registered post, last time I got a red light camera ticket (years ago) it came by normal post. Also when I got done for driving with undue care and attention the summons came via regular post.. I think?

I guess I just have to try not to stress tonight and find out tomorrow morning. Been mulling things over and I can't imagine when I would have got done speeding.. if I have been it would only be a couple of klms over the limit.. I think I've only gone through one very late orange light - so doubt it's a red light camera..

The only other thing I can think of was a slight road rage type incident, if you could call it that, where I overtook a guy going about 30klms under the speed limit on a scooter when he moved over onto the shoulder. He didn't like how I overtook (was in my WRX).. I genuinely thought he was moving over to let me pass - guess not? Strange old man.. strange and slow.. Normally thought that sort of stuff would be followed up by a police phone call or visit, not that anything really happened.. so I don't think it's that.

Sigh, ok.. I'll try to stop stressing now and post an update tomorrow.

EDIT - Does jury duty come via registered post? Maybe it's that..

i thought u didnt get in trouble if you have NEVER registerd to vote :)

Yeap, mate got a $180 fine last year...

All you gotta do it register and then turn up on election day, once your name is crossed off it does not matter what you do from there... :)

I go for the free labour or liberal sausage sizzle... (I vote on who gives me free food)

well, the last two tickets I got were registered post...this was probably a year and a half ago but...

Cops---> >_< <---- Jon

Double checked, Nays last ticket came via regular mail...

Ive never got one :D

(Not joking either)

I got a sinking feeling that it's going to be a summons. I apparently reversed into a motorbike in like August last year and it got knocked over and scratched a car door (not in the skyline, VS commodore). I didn't even know I did it until I got a phone call from the police the following night. It was at night time in a dark car park.. the motor bike must have been black, must have only just knocked it and had it roll forward and fall on to their door.

Cost me $900 to get fixed up, they coulda bought a better car for that much lol. Cops came and questioned me about it in like March this year (around six months after the incident and some 9 months ago now). After interviewing me and I had a chance to explain the circumstances (tinted windows, stereo on - reasonable level, windows up, dark car park, tow bar musta nudged the bikes wheel) they said they'll either scrap the matter, issue me a ticket for reversing when unsafe (like $20) or a ticket for driving without due care (court appearance). They said they'd let me know regardless, but I haven't heard anything from them since.

I hope I'm wrong, would be a sh!tty thing to have to go to court for, thought this matter resolved many moons ago. Time will tell.

relax mate its just mail.. sounds like someone suffers from anxiety !

it could be absolutely anything really, just relax. hell, it could be a prize or a present from a family member or something?

Yeah, I think I do have anxiety.. with my run of luck lately though it's hard to not think the worst immediately. All will be revealed tomorrow.

Just picked it up...

Security recall from Subaru. I used to own an 03 WRX up until a few months ago. "Engine Hesitation and/or Shut Down caused by Vehicle Security System - Model Years 2002 to 2005 Impreza WRX and WRX STI".

What a relief... Now to book into the doctors to get some medication for my paranoia lol.

    • +1. Good thing is people wont tailgate you for a while
    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
