And the alternative is? Colin Barnett? lulz.

There never seems to be a good alternative.

I dont know want barnets policy's are but they did mention on the news he is claiming to make large tax deductions, sounds better then Carpenter increasing teacher salaries and creating railways that will never effect me. Not to mention Carpenter in control will = big trouble for performance drivers.

Neither, I'll just cast another donkey vote... like what I have being doing ever since I started voting.

They really should make voting optional rather than compulsory.

The other party is no different, in fact wasn't the opposition the 1st one to bring forward the idea for this ban (after that 180 crash)? However I read from the paper that they say their ban will be based on kw/weight ratio rather than straight all v8/turbo/supercharger.

Neither way, I'm only going to the election coz I don't want to get fined.

"Mr Cowper said the Liberal Party would push for the regulation change as part of their campaign for the upcoming State Election."

Hmmm...

Left of centre policies... Confiscation of personal property by the central government.. Draconian and unjustified law-making.... False, biased and totally unsubstantiated propaganda in order to instill fear into the hearts of the voting masses, labour (unionist) parties at both federal and state levels, not to mention the deputy PD is a ginger... Anybody sense the red mist descenting over our country???

Sounds like we are heading for this...

Be afraid be very afraid...

Better dead than red!

Ok i know nothing about politics clearly i will shut up.

Donkey it is

how much do u get fined if u dont go vote @_@

$20, in the last election, my mum was in New Castle & she was working all day so she cbf to go & couple of month later we got a $20 fine.

Funny thing is, she doesn't plan on going to this up coming one neither :P , shes got a full shift on Saturday @ the hospital; she rather get fined $20 then miss work where she's getting paid 1.5x than normal.

Donkey it is

Thats the way, join the "Donkey" brotherhood :D

Oh god... I though Chairsniffer troy was bad enough...

And the alternative is? Colin Barnett? lulz.

Btw, can he ban (by that I mean put them on a strict probation) old people driving while he's at it... Today right in front of me an old lady went straight through a red light ( and I mean it was red, like had been red for a minute and other cars were stopped) and the guy going through the green light almost T-boned her if he had not have been quick on the brakes...

i seriously doubt its going to happen because it affects them all(the old coots and the government) directly and it will then be seen as unfair and wrong. its because they are so experienced that they hit the accelertaor no the brakes.

Not if you already have the turbo registered in your name before the laws come in, that's the only way around it.

For those talking about donkey votes.. You do realise they go to whoever is in power at the time, right?

It is - you don't enroll = you don't have to go vote.

Haven't been fined yet ..... Sure they've knocked on my door a couple of times and suggested i should enroll but meh ..... when there's a phucker worth voting for then i'll enrolll. Least i have a clear conscience that i didn't nominate any of the a55 wipes to get in.

That is all.

Alan isnt due for a re election until next year i believe, but because the liberals are in disarray he is calling for the election now. Thats is one dirty ....

Its not like those two are the only choices either so look outside the square if you care

labour for me. barnett wants to privatise the power utility (where i work) and then we can watch the power bill skyrocket more that its gunna be. im not going to vote for a party that cant decide what leader to have, and to vote for someone thats been in power a couple of weeks . suicide.

and to vote for someone thats been in power a couple of weeks.

Considering firstly he isn't even in power yet (ie: leader of the opposition), secondly, he has lead the WA libs before, he is no stranger tot he job, and thirdly, He's got years of experience in the parliment and understands the political system inside and out. Carpenter on the otherhand is a washed-up ex journo that leads a party that is essencially and utterly corrupt from the core.

John D'orazio:

In May 2006 D'Orazio was stripped of his portfolios after it was revealed that he had been driving for two months without a license after he had had a car accident in a ministerial vehicle. He had lost his licence after failing to pay several speeding fines. He was forced to resign from the Party as a result.

By August 2006, D'Orazio was caught up in a corruption investigation and had to front the Corruption and Crime Commission to explain phone calls between himself and Pasquale Minniti, who allegedly was using his influence with officers in the Western Australian Police force to have speeding fines dropped.

Brian Burke:

Brian 'Mr essencially corrupt ex-premier' Burke

Ljiljanna Ravlich:

When the Gallop Labour government was elected in 2001, she served as a parliamentary secretary until 2005, when she was appointed as Local Government Minister. Shortly afterwards she became the Minister for Education. Charged with the implementation of a controversial OBE (Outcomes Based Education) policy, she held a high-profile portfolio and received much media coverage before losing her ministerial position.

Hmm, a party with a leader that is about as robust as a bubble, a failed business man for a treasurer, a former minister of education that did everything in her power to impose upon the education system, a new means of grading students that proved vastly unpopular with both parents and teachers. At the point where OBE finally came into force, it was withdrawn under immense public pressure. We had an ex-minister for police that engadged in corrupt dealings with a disgraced ex-premier and also was shown to be a complete hypocrite by holding the police and justice porfolio whilst cruising the streets of Perth, in a tax payer funded vehicle, without a valid drivers license... That is just the tip of the iceburg... Give me Colin's Kimberley Canal anyday...

i agree that p platers should learn to drive properly before being put behind a high powered car. But more importantly, driving is a privelage and i believe its not just high powered cars that is the problem. I think p platers are not getting adequate training before being let onto the roads. And i dont mean that the tests are not harsh enough as they are. But maybe make a program compulsory that is run by the governemnt a step in the whole process of getting your licence prior to receiving it. Ensuring adequate training is more vital.

You can give anyone any car and they can hoon in it. Yes, high powered cars make it easier to hoon but if a person has been trained in most emergency situations they can drive anything within reason. I can say when i got my licence, i hadnt even encountered or talked about the many situations you can get into in everyday driving and maybe its more education that the public needs than just harsh laws.

Just my two cents.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
