hey guys, i just watched the news and they are talkin bout hooning and shit again, particularly about p-platers. this time, they are talkin about bringing in crushing-the-hooner's-cars laws if they were caught. more undercover cops will be around this time as well. on the news, they also show a done up commodore being crushed and evos and fc rx7s being confiscated, luckily no skylines on the video. as usual they showed the blue S15 doin doughnuts video again and surprisingly, a pulsar doin FWD burnouts as well.

k now i have no problem with people who do the wrong thing being punished but from what little i know this whole hoon law thing is a bit ambiguous for the total confiscation of someones car

and as for crushing what a waste of time hows about you auction it off and use the funds for better roads, education, helping out victims of road accidents etc

and while im on my soapbox lets stop bothering about afew burnouts and deal harsher with the serious problems like drink drivers and road ragers take their cars off them damn it

I think they said on the third offence (or after the third offence not sure which) they will either crush the car, auction it off or use it in undercover operations. I just reckon it's scare tactics, would get contested in court immediately and no doubt the cops would lose the case. It is stupid anyway as people who fall into that situation would be more likely to try and getaway from the cops and be even more reckless doing so knowing their car would get confiscated/crushed if they get caught.

Apparently they're also starting a new operation using "hoon" like vehicles with plain clothed police officers who will no doubt be entrapping people to street race putting the public at risk. It's a shame our police force wastes an enormous amount of resources on such a minor demographic when it could be done much more effectively with less resources and especially when it should really be going towards more important things like burglary... if you call the cops after your house has been robbed (or even if you catch the thief yourself) the cops will take their sweet arse time getting there (hours) but I bet if you made a phone call about hearing a "hoon" they'd be there within minutes.

Not to mention the hoon law is complete crap in the first place and is basically a free pass for the power trip cops to do as they please.

Nah, the fact that "hoons" take priorities over murderers is GREAT!! Anytime we have paint sniffing natives at work (I'm not racist) we just tell the cops there is also someone doing burnouts in the carpark. Then they take the 2 minute drive from the cop shop and move them along. /sarcasm

Ok, it takes 40 minutes, they need to get their priorities right, but thats for another thread.

Honestly, cops trying to race you is just f**ked up. Why waste time, money, and effort to encourage people to do something dangerous in the attempt to "save" lives? Try going after the dickhead I saw the yesterday fish tailing up Mirrabooka Avenue in a red Ford AU Falcon who ended up doing a full 180. Imo THAT is more dangerous then 2 cars (one driven by a cop) doing 140 in a 100 zone!

Also, if you get hoonlawed 3 times, you deserve to be shot! Sorry, but thats just stupid!

yeah i saw sorta the same story the other night but it was about how people are setting up illegal drag and burnout meets

on the outer parts of perth, nice one from the blue rb powered s13 but the reason for the news bit was coz someone who

remains annonymous handed over his info on the whole scene, must have had a bad day with his car buddies an decided

to help end hoons, dunno how many mates he's got left now

Fairly sure i had a cop trying to get me to race him once, old falcon (super old like XYish age), dude was spinning his finger as in like "smoke it up" or whatever and was spinning the back tyres waiting for the lights when i noticed a commodore behind me, i took off slowly when the other guy launched and when i turned off i noticed the car behind me was an undercover car surprised me the undercover didnt chase the other guy and i didnt think much of it.

Just saw yet another "hoon law" article. Almost every clip was shot at Barbagallo either at the drifts or at Powercruise, and interviews of not-so-intelligent people saying how they don't think burnouts are illegal.

They were also talking about the poor 16yo girl who died in the 180SX crash. What about the 20+ people died on the road over the Christmas season? As far as I know, only 2 people have died in a performance car in the last 6 months or so, one was doing the speed limit, yet was still made out to be the bad guy.

Exactly, because of australias aging population cracking down on "hoons" is a great win with the public. They dont even really care about what the hoon legislation does as they dont really understand it that much and most of them drive 60 in an 80 "because thats safer". The fact is Politicians only care because it gets them votes, and hence gets them paid.

We'll be old one day. I wonder if we will still disapprove?

Man I swear this hoon crap pops on a monthly basis.

It pops up for a while & disappears, & repeat...

Also does anyone have the link to that "new" hoon video on the news that you guys are talking about?

I stopped watching AU TV the minute I found out how to BT.

The old folks who can't drive over 60km/h in their 3 cylinder Charades who complain when us young hoons "flog" it off the lights in our stupidly-loud "hoon cars". I shift at 3000rpm and still leave the 1.5L shit boxes behind. And yet... I'm the bad guy?

Of course you are the bad guy! His old therefore he can't be the bad guy... nah jokes ;)

But thats how these people think anyway.

I remember a while back while I was waiting at Nandos I was flicking through the pile of newspaper there & found this article where it talks about how the cops found a holden ute doing close to 100km/h in a 40 zone so they stopped the ute & did the hoon law on him & took his car away.

The problem is the driver is a 70yr old flamin mongrel, who started complaining to the cops, & he even made the remark that he is a good driver & that the hoon laws shouldn't target people like him (coz his old), it should target younger drivers & their cars.

Some f***** nerve his got to speak like that, he even mentioned that his going to court regarding this matter & getting his car back.

If you ask me, if they do bring in the crushing a hoon's car law here, the cops should crush his car asap & ban him from driving for life.

His attitude totally pisses me off :D

End rant.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
