It doesn't matter what car the perpetrators or the victims are driving....commodores or whatever. People who steal cars, bash people in other cars in road rage or drive like dickheads and end up in car chases are criminals and should be treated as such. We all need to be responsible for our own actions.

Let's hope the victim in this case pulls through and is able to enjoy a life that has been jeopardised by someone elses actions.

Trouble is though if you make a blanket rule of "don’t chase them" it sends out a message of - "do what you like, if you are caught just drive fast and the cops wont chase you"

It’s a bit like the teachers at school who always gave you a second/third/fourth chance. The good kids respected that but the idiots just abused the privilege.

I think the police have to be trained to use their discretion of when / where to chase and when it is just not worth it. Is it any different than when we fang it with a mate on an empty road at night? (We know we wouldn’t be doing it if it was rush hour).

I follow 9krpms sentiments.

All the best wishes to the victim and family members

Car thieves/vandalism should attract the death penalty. (especially if it’s mine)

I am not an advocate of people not being chased. Chase the pricks, cos if you dont you are just encouraging them.

Send them to gaol, give them huge fines - that will make them think. It seems strange that crimes against society seem to attract relatively minor fines/penalties, yet bullshit things (car too low, turbo timer fitted, travelling 3km over the limit) and you cop a decent fine??

Seems to me if you want to be a dick head, you will get treated with kidd gloves, normal joe, get treated like a criminal.

What ever happened to getting a warning if you were caught a few kms over the speed limit? Happens to everyone. They (polititians) are just money hungry, and yet when it comes to minority groups (real criminals) they seem to get away pretty easy alot of the time.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
