Ro and I were having a bit of fun coming down mt lindesay hwy saw the cops ahead of us. Slowed down as we drove past someone in a Toyata Yaris or something similar hit the guard rail. Car was a f**king mess.

So after we get out of range of the cops we have a bit more fun. Slow down coming through the road works at Parkridge doing about 80km/h in the 60 zone and theres a car coming in the opposite direction. Start thinking about slowing down. Car goes past us and all I saw was the POLICE written on the side. FARK!!! Slow right down to 55km/h lol and look in the rear view mirror. Cops are doing a u turn. So they catch up to me while I'm doing 60km/h and after about 2 mins following me the lights go on. So I pull over thinking I'm f**ked in the ass. They take forever giving me an RBT n checking the plates n my licence and all that good stuff. Cop started asking me questions then convo went like

Cop: So where are you coming back from?

Me: eeerrr...Milton?

Cop: Milton! What were you doing there?

Me: Getting ice cream?

Cop: Ice cream?

Me: Yep ice cream.

Cop: You went all the way to Milton for ice cream?

Me: Its good ice cream.

Cop: What else have you been doing?

Me: Car wash...

Cop: Were you with that other guy?(Ro)

Me: Yep.

Cop: Okay you can go.

Me: Sweet.

And that was why the drive home was interesting.

Haha thats awesome. Reminds me of one time I got pulled over in durack when I lived in petrie. Back in my lan party days, we were lanning it up in a mate's sisters house while she was on holidays, and had to go and get grog. On the way back from the bottle shop, in my dirty aus spec 31, low and loud, full of 5 people, SH*TLOADs of alcohol, and a cop car goes past the other way. One of my mates in the back seats goes "COPS" and waves/points at them with a bottle of vodka out the window. They U-Turn, sirens come on.

Cop: Had anything to drink today?

Me: Not Yet! :(

*RBTs me*

Cop: Licence please....

*Hands over licence

Cop: Still live at Petrie?

Me: Yes

Cop: What are you doing all the way over here?

Me: Lan Party

Cop: What?

Me: Errmmm.. playing computer games and stuff. Minding a friends house while their on holidays.

Cop: Oh... what do you need all this alcohol for?

Me: Goes well with computer games

Cop: Right... Any of these bottles opened?

Me: No

*Cop checks then sends me on my way with some kind of warning about drink driving/drinking too much

Best bit was his mate was walking round checking all over the car while this was going on, but they didnt get me for anything (even though it was too low, too loud, and tyres were pretty bald)

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
