Anyone happen to see what happened to that guy racing in his ferrari,someone seemed to think when they have money their ammune to the law,ha ha ha sucker.

I mean im not one to love the law and the b"llsh"t reasons they come up with to pull us over,but come on anyone driving a car worth that much doing that sh"t in the suburbs in asking for trouble.

What are peoples thoughts on the laws locking up the cars and do you reckon they need to adopt the laws like in other states,cause if they did his car would be block of steel already.

im sure if he can afford a ferrari worth 250k he can afford another one.. lol

Thats a very bad opinion to have. How do you know that he didn't work his absolute ass off for many years to get that ferrari? Would you like it if you spent years upon years working hard to get something and then someone takes it away and just says "I'm sure he can afford another one"

no one should have the right to take your car off you and destroy it, and there is zero evidence to suggest this method of punishment works anyway. its just a simple knee jerk reaction to a age old problem, there have always been hoons and people have always killed themselves in cars, nuthing has changed and these laws wont do anything but see some great bits of machinery crushed into balls of metal :rofl:

down grade to a GTR? doubt you have never driven a ferrari, I drove a friends twin turbo Tesstarossa for a month, good to look at, piece of shit car, touchy to drive, didnt like a thrashing like my RX7 or GTT, to low hits everything, unless your short you dont fit for shit. but it is cool to be in second gear from start till 100mph..

a GTR is a better car to drive daily by far and about as fast

my friend in the states is wealthy beyond imagination, 12 hi end tricked out cars costing over 400,000aud each and he worked hard to get them , suprising enough he dresses like a grot in torn jeans and wears kmart tenis shoes, but owns a small cruise line, and a few ks of manhatten on central park New york city. at age 34? and like's cab rides instead of limos from the airport from his private learjet to 1 of his houses in aspen or LA he wouldnt be to keen to have a car crushed by speeding around in it, (he has run the cannonball) ?

but hey you can drive a kia and still be a hoon ?, ask the kid on my street who put a chrome can muffler on his and painted the car flat black to mimick carbon fiber .lol

cops paid him a visit for burn outs and noise, damn annoying NA car, 4k downshifts at 4am to get into his driveway.

Hoons come in all types of cars, but crushing the car wont stop people they end up stealing yours to race then?, neither will pulling the license, they just drive without one? give them a race track local then it wont happen so much, one 100ks away isnt the answer we have all this land sitting around , like port stanvac ? im sure they could give up some for a track and desal plant too?

this state needs planners to give people outlets for hobbies like racing ? cops should stop being bad guys and promote car clubs who respect others ? insurance companies see car clubs make people responsible why dont cops ? in LA the cops race with kids at grudge nights ?

my rant..lol sorry

Lets not forget the stories we see on the news. We have the hoons to blame for the hoon laws.

The police are only reacting to the cry to do something about the situation ... especially from the families who have lost someone killed in an accident thanks to a hoon. A very close friend of mine was one such fatality, and another friend a passenger in the car is now disabled ... hit by a hoon racing down Daws Road. :P Therefore I support the hoon laws.

Wait until you lose a close friend/family member to a hoon, then sit in the court room and see the bastard get away with it, because the law at the time didn't deal with hoons.

well it's been 1 year now that Brett West of GWW lost his 17 yr old boy in a high-speed.

Was an innocent passenger in a car travelling at approx 150kph...........driver survived which is pretty common

Unless you know Brett well, probably not a good idea to bring up the subject cause they have forgiven the driver who was a family friend

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
