http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Import_scene

The Import scene or Import racing scene refers to the subculture that revolves around modifying imported brand cars (commonly referred to as imports), especially those of Japanese brands, for STREET RACING in foreign countries. Thanks to movies like The Fast and the Furious (2001), it has become a mainstream phenomenon.

he needed a better lawyer...

also should have had it adjourned to city courts.... seriously... sif be heard at broadmeadows ffs

On what grounds?

I for one think his lawyer did well getting him off so lightly.

there's always some shit you can spin to have your case heard closer to the city...

you do NOT wanna be facing a broadmeadows judge for any reason! (esp car offences, and wifebeating) :thumbsup:

Didn't know that Rex's were geared to allow that kind of top speed. Was always lead to believe that they hit the rev limiter in top at about 210km/h. This was always explained as one of the reasons that they were so quick, because the gearing was so short.

Also no mention of the fact that this guy was a P plater in a STi. Should have been a fine for that as well. Love to know where the money to get the car came from.

nah rexies can hit 250 with minimal mods. my friend just had full zorst and frontmount he hit 250 (on a track ovcours). i think its ridiculous that the cops chased him. when they clocked him doing 250 they shudnt've even bothered cuz him trying to run away wud b even more dangerous. (im guessin no helicopter) so jeh i think thats bulshit to begin with. he shud get jailed for trying to run away, but the speeding bit depends on the circumstances. look doing 250 on the way to geelong at 3am on a weekday isnt dangerous. the road is perfect and no traffic, so i think it has to be looked like that and there should be some sort of system that allows that (i think there actually might be when u actually go to court, but im not sure)

as for the whole car-crushing thing, i think its ridiculous, this isnt a communist country, so they shudnt b allowed to do that, or even sell your car. they should however b able to ban your car from being registred under your name (i think thats fair enuf) but the other stuff is just plain bs

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
