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

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
